About JaLa's Yorkies... "Where Health, Temperament & Beauty are Top Priority!" "Health"... At JaLa yorkies we have very high standards when it comes to our yorkies! We do not take our responsibility as a breeder lightly. The Health of our dogs and the health of the Yorkshire Terrier breed is extremely important to us. All of our yorkies are health screened by our veterinarian prior to breeding. Our yorkies knees/joints are checked, blood panels are performed, hearts checked, eyes examined. We have a wonderful relationship with our veterinarian and her place in our breeding program is extremely important! We appreciate her love and compassion that she shows to our yorkies every time she sees them! Please visit our Yorkie Health page to learn more about the problems that are affecting Yorkies and other toy breeds. "Temperament"... The Temperament of the Yorkshire Terrier is one filled with love, dedication and intelligence. We are completely in love with their playful, cuddly and loyal little personalities. These charming little companions definitely "had us at hello"! We strive to produce puppies that are out-going and grow up to be happy, well-adjusted yorkies! All of our yorkies are raised in our home without cages! "Beauty"... The Beauty of the Yorkshire Terrier breed is indisputable! A well proportioned yorkie with sound movement, elegant silky coat and the sweetness of their face makes them undeniably gorgeous! While not every yorkie is destined for the show ring we do breed with the goal of producing a yorkie that can compete in the ring! All of our yorkies are AKC registered and good representations of the breed. While they do not all compete in the conformation ring, they do have many wonderful "yorkie" qualities and have produced some of the most beautiful yorkies. A lot of care, time, effort and money goes into finding the yorkies we feel will best represent this beloved breed. While we do spend many hours comparing and researching pedigrees, only those of excellent health and temperament are even considered for our breeding program.

They are all well socialized safely from within our homes. They are born in one of our bedrooms where we can be with them, it is a nice quiet environment and creates a wonderful atmosphere for both mom and puppies. Yorkie puppies are very unique and require a special eye and 24 hour monitoring! When our puppies aren't with us they are viewed on a security monitor, so they are always under our watchful eyes! JaLa puppies are sent home after 12 weeks of age, never before. The tinier they are...the longer they will stay with us. So much is learned about being a good puppy from their mom, their littermates and the other yorkies in our home. This not only helps make the puppies more outgoing and confident but allows them to adjust to their new homes much easier. It is important that these little babies are eating well on their own before they leave their mom and littermates. We do NOT breed for the so-called "teacups" or "tinies" but instead breed to the AKC standard of "under 7 pounds". Occasionally we will have a smaller puppy which we hold on to longer, and will not send home any puppy until we feel the puppy is ready. We strive to produce puppies that will mature to at least 4 lbs. Most of our puppies average at 4-6 pounds as adults. All of our adults are 4.5 - 7 lbs. Every puppy is vaccinated 2-3 times by our veterinarian (No Lepto due too high incidence of allergic reactions in toy breeds) before going home. We do not vaccinate for leptospirosis or rabies until our yorkies are at least 12 months old. We also never give more than one vaccine on the same day in order to minimize the risk of an allergic reaction. Talk with your veterinarian about administering Diphenhydramine (Benedryl) prior to any vaccines. It is one thing for a 50 lbs dog to have a reaction to vaccines, but it is harder to treat a toy breed dog for the same. Every puppy is de-wormed on a timely and appropriate schedule. We feel that it is necessary to de-worm puppies even if their fecal sample is negative, as most fecal testing is only about 75% accurate. Yorkies are just too small to have an intestinal parasite as they would get too sick too quick! Our yorkies are fed top of the line foods. We will always feed premium brands from companies with high standards of excellence. We feel that a well-balanced diet is one of the most important things you give your yorkie. All companion puppies are sold with limited AKC registration and with a spay/neuter contract. Every puppy is accompanied by a one year written health guarantee and a puppy care package. Inside the care package we have published the necessary information for caring for your new little one, and some of the essentials, such as toys, Nutri-cal, food samples, vaccination records, baby blanket, pictures and more! Everything is there to help get you started in the right direction, and we are always just a phone call away! We also have a lifetime "Welcome Home" policy! All of our yorkies are to be returned to us if the new owners can no longer care for him/her for any reason. We do not want to see or hear of any of our yorkies being placed in rescues or shelters! Therefore our yorkies always have a home here with us! We love hearing from our puppy's new parents and updates with photos make this all worth it! We take great pride in our yorkies, they are so much a part of who we are! Yorkie Hugs! ~ Laura & Jackie Still have questions??? Please Visit our FAQ page! |
