As a small-breed dog breeder since 2019, I've had the privilege of witnessing one of life's most magical moments over and over again: the first few weeks a family spends with their new puppy. That initial 30-day period is more than just a cute 'getting to know you' phase; it's the foundation upon which a lifetime of trust, love, and companionship is built.

Over the years, I’ve hand-delivered puppies to wonderful families across the country, including in vibrant, sunny locales like Miami, Florida. The questions I get are often the same: "How do we make sure they feel safe?" "How do we start training?" "How do we build that incredible bond I see you have with your dogs?

This isn't just theory; it's the culmination of years of hands-on experience, late nights, and the profound joy of connecting people with their perfect, tiny companion. Let's walk through this journey together.

Are Yorkies good with children?

Yorkies can be good with older, respectful children who understand how to interact gently with a small dog. Due to their tiny, fragile frame, I don't recommend them for families with toddlers or very young kids who might accidentally injure them. Supervision is always essential.
