LIFETIME BREEDER SUPPORT

The foundation of a healthy Yorkie begins with understanding their specific health challenges, including the identification of genetic markers, proper diagnostics, effective treatments, and potential cures. Equally important, a happy and well-adjusted Yorkie depends on early socialization and consistent training to shape a reliable temperament. As a responsible owner, it’s essential to support these foundations by maintaining proper hygiene through regular grooming, bathing, ear cleaning, and dental care—alongside routine veterinary visits to ensure long-term wellness.

Lifetime Guarantee Against Hip Evaluation , Ophthalmologist Evaluation and Patella Evaluation

As a responsible breeder, we go above and beyond to ensure that only healthy Yorkies become part of our breeding program. All of our dogs are carefully selected and are free from the most common hereditary conditions affecting the Yorkshire Terrier breed. That said, it's important to understand that—despite every effort—we cannot guarantee that our puppies will be completely free from all potential health issues in the future. What we can guarantee is that each puppy has received proper care, early veterinary attention, and is free of any known major health concerns or life-threatening conditions at the time of adoption. Many new Yorkie owners often confuse breed-related traits with breeding-related health issues. To help clarify this, we’ve provided a dedicated page outlining what is typical for the breed, as well as conditions that may arise independently of genetics or breeding practices. Please understand that no breeder can promise a lifetime free of health concerns. Once your puppy leaves our care, their health and well-being becomes your responsibility. This includes regular veterinary visits, vaccinations, proper nutrition, and ongoing care. We’re always here to support you and answer any questions you may have along the way—so don’t hesitate to reach out!
