All About Us

Both my husband and myself are retired.  We are located in Marion Oaks, Ocala, Florida and sell ONLY AKC Yorkshire Terrier puppies.  Our goal is to breed Yorkie puppies which closely match the AKC standard AND, who are happy, spoiled, healthy and human and pet friendly.     

  My husband has two daughters, and 5 grandchildren.  I have a daughter and son and 5 grandchildren as well.   I am a retired RN, having started my career in Trauma nursing and ended it with a Clinical Psychology practice.  My husband spent most of his professional life devoted to the public utilities arena and in the pursuit of academic Theology.  

Our goal as Yorkshire Terrier breeders is to bring you beautiful, healthy, little darlings to love and cuddle. Each Yorkie comes with a heart of gold, full of energy, a huge capacity for love and a guarantee to bring love into your home.

The ribbon cutting of Our Heavenly Yorkies & Boutique occurred during 2003.  We are small breeders, having only 4-5 litters per year.  Our puppies begin their life in a whelping playpen and at about 5 week of age begin to visit with the family in the rest of the house.   They begin paper training in the playpen and after reaching about 8 weeks, make frequent trips outside to romp in a large fenced yard with the rest of the family.  Some even master the use of a doggy door during this period.

They begin weaning at about 4-5 weeks.  They usually will continue with mom occasionally nursing, socializing with their littermates and "us" and our "family", and being trained by Mom in proper puppy etiquette until about 10-12 weeks.  We leave this up to Mom !!  They are well socialized by placement time.  Smaller ones may stay as long as 14 weeks.  Our puppies are never shipped.  They must be seen and pre-loved before the pickup date.

 We happen to be in contact with an excellent breeders in our area so if I don't have a puppy for you she usually does.  No matter which breeder you choose, remember these points: 

  Does the breeder handle the puppies regularly?

  Are the puppies raised WITH and are a part of the breeders family?

  Are the puppies kept locked down in crates or kennels or allowed to roam and learn?

  Are the puppies fully weaned and not placed until they are 9-16 weeks old minimum?

  Is there water and food available always to the puppies?

  Never EVER buy from a Puppy Store or Flea Market no matter how tempting or affordable the price.   A few dollars saved "will" cost thousands later.  Buy from reputable breeders !!
