Yorkie's, Maltese, & sometimes Designer pups ( Cockapoo, Maltepoo, Shih-poo)

The dogs listed below are NOT for sale...they have gone on to their "forever" homes.

(these are just some of the pics from over a period of years, some of these breeds I do not raise anymore)

I absolutely will not place my puppies with agents, brokers or any third party. I am VERY aware of the overseas bank draft/money order scams that are being perpetrated throughout the internet by unscrupulous individuals. If you are involved with this type of activity, DO NOT contact anyone advertising on this site. All ad responses are monitored, and IP addresses are collected for reporting to the proper authorities as well as your internet provider.

Located in Gray, Ga. (12 Miles North Of Macon, Ga. off Hwy 129 N)...and 60-90 minutes south of Atlanta Ga.

My girls, ( Demi, DeeDee, Cigi, Muffy, Mimi, Bug & Jody ) sleep with me every night ...they go most everywhere I go (unless the weather is too hot). They have their own clothes...and I spoil them rotten with gifts. There's not enough words to tell you how much they mean to me !

I reserve the right to refuse the sale a puppy to a home where I don't feel it will be loved and cared for. I look at what's in the best interest of my babies. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE dogs ! I strive for "Quality"... Not "Quantity". I have a small amount of dogs ( not all are breeders ) ...and would rather produce sound (QUALITY) pups, rather than masses of potential problems. I raise my babies here at my home. I offer a 12 month written health guarantee with each pup ...and a "puppy starter" kit....treats, sleeping "Buddy" and toys. If you love dogs as much as I do, then you know that they have feelings, aches and pains, just as we humans do. They rely on us for their every need. Each one comes with it's own personality, that can never to be replaced....and when its time to say goodbye to them, they leave tiny little paw prints on our hearts that can never be erased. I take animals seriously ! A dog is not just for Christmas...it is a life long commitment. If you are thinking of buying someone a puppy as a gift...PLEASE find out if that's what they really want. ...and NEVER buy a pup on the spur of the moment without giving it a LOT of thought....because Puppies are not rental property. A puppy doesn't understand when someone takes him to a new home that his new parents may not like cleaning up after him, he doesn't understand why someone yells at him because he didn't come to them as fast as they would like. No matter how outgoing a puppy is at the breeders home, he may be afraid and shy in his new home....after all, he has never seen the stranger that has taken him to this strange place. He doesn't understand yelling or running him under furniture to chase him down to make him love his new owner. He only understands that he has left the only mother ( & home ) he has ever known...and he doesn't know what to do. Please be patient with him... If you don't think you can invest 10-15 years of your time with a pet...please don't take one home with you. They are not a toy you play with and place on a shelf when you are tired. They need constant care...just like a human baby. They need food, water, cleaning up after, vaccines, etc. ...but most of all they need love, patience & understanding. They may cry the first few nights, they may not know who your children are...because I don't have any small children at my home. Sometimes puppies don't turn out the way the new owner wants it to because there are children in my house...and kids are kids no matter who they belong to. If kids run the puppy everywhere, it will become withdrawn and afraid....and almost impossible to housebreak. It needs some "quiet time" until it gets used to its surroundings. I am not a"show breeder", I just love dogs. Although you could end up with a puppy of show quality, I do not guarantee it. I raise family pets. I don't want your money if you are going to take a puppy from my home & not care for it properly. I don't have a "weekend puppy rental" program either. A puppy is for life.

Please think about the life you are thinking of adopting. It won't always be the cute pup it is now...Someday it will be old, its teeth may fall out, it may go blind, or it can't get around due to arthritis (which may cause Vet bills)...Will you love it then? If the answer is "Yes", then you are truly a dog loving person...

From time to time, people tell me,
"lighten up, it's just a dog,"
or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog."
They don't understand the distance traveled,
the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog,"
but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog,"
and in those days of darkness,
the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog,"
then you will probably understand phases like
"just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog"
but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future,
the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and
diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog"
but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a woman."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile,
because they "just don't understand."

I can't imagine my life without a dog. They are like potato chips, you can't have just one!
