We've been training and breeding for over 30 years.

We offer references and the best guarantee around. Knowing that your puppy can never be replaced, we believe that having another four legged furry companion may help lessen the sadness in your home. In the unlikely death of your puppy within one year from its birthday due to genetics, or if the puppy is found to have a life threatening congenital or hereditary disorder (within one year) which adversely affects the health of your puppy, we will replace the puppy with another of equal value at no cost to you. We are State, USDA and Vet inspected yearly. With 30+years of experience and dedication we take pride and joy in raising healthy, happy puppies. The best part of what we do is seeing the joy on the faces of their new family members. We help make families complete!!

Sire Beau is a well behaved, easily trained Shih Tzu.  Dam Paws is a sweet Bichon Frise who is a good mama.  These puppies will be Teddy Bears (also called Shichon).  They are wonderful family pets-great with children. They tend to form strong bonds with their families and also typically get along well with other family pets. They are also a non-shedding, hypo-allergenic breed, so they would be a good choice for those with allergies.  Average weight of Teddy Bears will be around 10 to 15 pounds.

Simon is a Yorkshire Terrier and Fluffy is a Pekingese.  These pups will be known as Yorkinese.  Both Pekingese and Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies) are members of the toy breed group, so you can expect your Yorkinese to be a small dog, usually in the range of 6-10 pounds when fully grown.  Designer (cross breed) puppies generally take characteristics from both of their ancestral breeds, but usually have an appearance closer to one of its ancestral breeds.  However, within a single litter of mixed breed Yorkinese puppies, one puppy’s appearance can more closely resemble a purebred Yorkie while another puppy from the same litter can more closely resemble a purebred Pekingese puppy.  Yorkies, like all terriers, are brave, curious and energetic. Pekingese possess dignity and intelligence and are affectionate and good nature, making them good family pets and companions. You can expect your Yorkinese puppy to have some, if not all of these traits.

Mac and Ellie are both pure bred Yorkshire Terriers.  Yorkies are high energy, playful, and loving dogs.  They are consider semi-hypoallergenic and low shedding.  They are a small breed, typically weighing between 4-7 pounds full grown.  First photo is Mac, second is Ellie.
