Exciting news · Puffer × Raven

A little flirting.
A lot of excitement.

We’re matching up Puffer and Raven for something very special: Raven’s first litter! We’re planning for puppies in January 2027, with little ones anticipated to be ready for their forever homes in March 2027, subject to each puppy’s readiness.

This will be Puffer’s fifth litter. He has given us beautiful, wonderfully intelligent puppies with every female he’s been paired with, and we can’t wait to see what he and our sweet Raven bring to the Yorktown family.

We’re especially excited to see the colors their genetics may produce—from black to chocolate to tricolor. There’s a whole rainbow of possibilities, and we’ll be sharing updates along the way!

Care that reaches beyond the nursery

Built from the Same Love We Give Our Own Dogs

Yorktown Yorkies, Puffer's Pantry, and ProvenPet grew from one conviction: dogs deserve thoughtful care, honest information, and families who are prepared to protect their wellbeing.

Puffer's Pantry · Whole-dog wellness

Nutrition Is One of the Ways I Love Them.

I love these puppies long before they meet their families. Part of that love is continually learning how to give our dogs the best food and nutrition I possibly can—at every age and stage of life.

Puffer's Pantry began with recipes created for our own dogs first: thoughtfully selected organic treats and wellness meal toppers, made in small batches in Florida. At Yorktown, every puppy receives complete, age-appropriate nutrition, close monitoring, and a careful feeding transition for homecoming.

ProvenPet · Verify before you buy

Transparency Should Protect Every Pet Family.

After our family's experience with Mako raised serious concerns about what we had been told and the records we received, I founded ProvenPet—the verification process I wish we had before bringing him home.

ProvenPet connects the facts for one proposed transaction: the buyer and seller identities, the exact animal, records, payment recipient, and pickup or delivery. The invited seller must participate, and the chosen payer is not charged until the seller agrees and begins.

Frequently asked questions

Everything You Need to Know

We want every family to feel informed, comfortable, and confident before welcoming a Yorktown puppy.

Ask another question
Can I buy a Yorktown puppy if I live outside Florida or Georgia?

Yes. Yorktown Yorkies is based near Jacksonville, Florida, and welcomes approved families from across the United States. Begin with a video introduction and an application, then discuss Jacksonville pickup, personal delivery, or an in-cabin flight nanny when available. Travel arrangements and costs are confirmed for each placement.

When can a Yorktown puppy go home?

Our puppies generally go home between 10 and 12 weeks of age. All take-home dates are estimates, not guaranteed dates. Each puppy must receive veterinary clearance, be fully weaned, and be eating independently before going home. The final take-home date is at the breeder’s discretion, with each puppy’s health, readiness, and a safe transition to their new home as the priority.

How does the placement process work?

Begin with our application. We will review your home, experience, preferences, and timing, then schedule a conversation. Placement is based on the best long-term match—not simply who asks first.

Can I meet the puppies before choosing?

We offer FaceTime or video introductions, frequent photo updates, and carefully scheduled visits when they are safe and appropriate for the litter. Protecting young puppies from avoidable illness is always our priority.

What does my puppy come home with?

Each puppy receives a veterinary exam, health certificate, age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming, a microchip, transition supplies, care guidance, and registration paperwork when applicable. Every puppy also goes home with a thoughtfully prepared care pack featuring Puffer's Easy Bites soft treats, puppy-appropriate chews, a comfort blanket carrying mom's and littermates' scent, toys, Dyne, pee pads, and a sample of puppy food.

Do you guarantee an adult weight?

No breeder can guarantee an exact adult weight. We can share a thoughtful estimate based on parents, pedigree, structure, and growth, but genetics and development can vary.

Are Yorkshire Terriers hypoallergenic?

Yorkies are low-shedding and are often considered a better fit for some allergy-sensitive homes, but no dog is completely allergen-free. We recommend spending time with the breed before committing if allergies are a concern.

Do you ship puppies?

We never place a puppy in cargo. Families may pick up near Jacksonville, use an approved in-cabin flight nanny, or arrange personal delivery when available.

What do you feed and how do you approach puppy nutrition?

Nutrition is part of our daily care. We choose complete, age-appropriate food for each stage, monitor every puppy closely, and send families home with transition guidance. Puffer's Pantry treats and toppers are introduced only when developmentally appropriate; they complement—not replace—a complete diet. Families should make feeding changes gradually and consult their veterinarian about individual needs.

Why is ProvenPet featured on a breeder website?

Dr. Terri founded ProvenPet after her family's experience with Mako showed how difficult it can be for buyers to confirm an animal, seller, records, payment recipient, and handoff. That transaction-specific verification service remains separate from Yorktown. ProvenPet Life is the next chapter: a private family portal and lifetime pet record being introduced first through Yorktown. It does not replace application review, a written agreement, veterinary care, or independent verification.

Is Yorktown a premium breeding program?

Yes. Yorktown is intentionally small and structured as a boutique, high-touch program rather than a volume or lowest-price placement option. We are best suited to families who value individualized puppy care, developmental preparation, transparent records, personal communication, and lifelong breeder support. Puppy-specific pricing and written reservation terms are provided to approved applicants before payment.
