Breeding for Health, Temperament, Soundness, and Outstanding Beauty!
About Yorkhaven Dogs, LOCATION: EAST OF CALGARY, AB
My Yorkies originated generations back from the TOP world-winning Canadian champion bloodlines (Durrer in strength) with top long-time winning European lines also brought in for diversity. Now I have my own generations of championed dogs in my pedigrees.
As a CKC member, I am inspired and bound by the Code of Ethics Breeding and Selling Practices. My intent is to produce beautiful healthy dogs as family companions and for dedicated show exhibitors, with confident, loving, playful dispositions. Although most puppies are sold as companion pets, Yorkhaven yorkies are also being shown successfully all over Canada, the US, Brazil and Europe either by myself or my co-owner peers. All of these owners I have met in person before selling.
HEALTH TESTING OUR PARENTS TO GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND
I strive to do the best I can for this outstanding little toy terrier breed, taking great care with our breeding decisions The parents and older generations are screened for potential inherited diseases through Embark Veterinary, a Cornell University research partner. Past the obvious veterinary exam, this is the most effective way to produce healthy puppies, with an understanding of the full genetic makeup of your dog BEFORE choosing to breed her/him.
The advantage to those looking for that new family member is peace of mind about the health of your pup’s parents. But also the pride to know your puppy comes from generations of “pick-of-the-litter” top show dogs chosen for their outstanding qualities and health. Your Yorkhaven pup will look like and act like a “correct” Yorkshire Terrier; highly intelligent, brave, curious, playful, loving, with an aire of importance. Also though, a true Terrier is always a bit mischievous!
Yorkies are a perpetual playful puppy and very loyal to their person. Yorkies are one of the tiniest breeds but THINK they are big and will not back down from other dogs no matter what their size. It is important to be home full-time with a young pup to keep them safe from harm. A Yorkie should be approximately 2.5 – 3 Lbs at 12 weeks old, to mature to a healthy adult size of 5-6 lbs. There is no such thing as a “teacup” or “mini” or “micro” yorkie. They are classified as a TOY dog and that is all they should be referred to with regards to size no matter what their weight. I don’t breed for yorkies that may be runted in growth because that could also mean they have a runted heart, runted kidneys, runted liver, etc. Tinies statistically do not live as long but these smaller yorkies are born naturally and at least their parents here are healthy quality breeding dogs.
