2025 Update About Puppy Applications - READ and then email us about a puppy
2023 marked my 40th Anniversary exclusively showing & breeding top-quality, beautiful, CORRECT Yorkshire Terriers for show exhibitors & the discerning pet owner. Yorkhaven has an outstanding reputation and is a well-respected name in Canada, the US, as well as with show exhibitors in other countries.
Yorkhaven ancestry is a carefully crafted bloodline of almost entirely Championed dogs, built from WORLD renowned top show breeders such as, DURRER (Canada), and Hunderwood (France) pedigree lies.
Why is this important to the family that want a PET? Because our decades of producing champion titled dogs = a long line of healthy, beautiful, dogs sound in body and mind.
Our Yorkies live in our home with Ed and I, on our couch and in our bed - not in a separate kennel building like some other larger breeders. Our belief is our Yorkies are FAMILY MEMBERS, not "product for sale." Each litter is carefully planned, and puppies are usually reserved ahead of birth, on a first-come, first-served basis. Companion pets are sold on a spay/neuter contract and come with a two year guarantee. These pets come from our own show dogs.
2025 PUPPIES UPDATE:
First, let me say I have a male four years old, turns five on January 13, 2025. Hunter is a very happy, smart boy who loves to cuddle or perch on the back of a couch and rest his head on your shoulder! He is a quality boy with exceptional bloodlines and has given me a nice litter or two so far. Hunter needs to stay intact for now, as he is very worthy to pass on his attributes to some more babies just yet, but he is a good boy, adaptable, and friendly to everyone. I would love to find his forever home NOW while he is young. A written contract with a timeline of when to neuter would be .supplied. Cost for Hunter is very reasonable!

RESERVATIONS X DEPOSIT: Gestation is 9 weeks, pups go home at approx. 12 weeks of age.
Jan 02: I have a couple of deposits reserving a puppy from 2025 litters. Note that as the breeder, I reserve first choice in each litter for my own show/breed purposes. Puppies are evaluated for their show potential as they grow and develop (from 9 to12 weeks). Aside from my pick, the rest will go as companion pets per our reservations list. Breeder's pick often sometimes becomes available at a later age (around 6-7 months).
When choosing a breeder with a potential family member for you, try to visit in their home or at least by video call; observe all puppies and adults health & temperament & how a breeder is treating/testing their breeding adults and what methods they use for raising puppies. Realize breeders who also show their dogs are STEWARDS of the breed, belonging to many dog clubs following further Code of Ethics and Practices, breeding responsibly. This is not about profit from the sales of puppies. Every litter will be planned for best quality, health, and temperament. Those who are involved in the sport of dog show events do not make a profit since individual costs to show, travel, and supplies far outweigh the small litter sizes a Yorkie breeder gets.
There are many dogs (and cats) in Rescue - not usually any purebred Yorkies, but many mixes. Consider if you are able to be a Rescue Owner first. I know that is not for everyone because of the struggles of rescues, but think about it. Bottom line though, realize that the adopt don't shop slogan is just misleading in my opinion. You are still "shopping" and also paying for a rescue. A purebred quality pet will be more but will also be bred with intention.
Here at Yorkhaven, we breed to sustain and improve upon the health and conformation of the breed through selective, educated, experienced and ethical breeding. Come see our difference but know first we only accept a small number of reservations based on what we expect to have soon in puppies.
Puppy at 6 weeks of age
