About Andrea & James
Hi! We’re Andrea & James Moon and nobody loves Yorkies more than we do! We have a home full of Animal lovers. We have dogs and cats. The occasional hamster.. We’ve raised four kids and loved and lost many pets. We’re finally able to fulfill our dream of raising Yorkies. We’ve been talking about it since before we were married. 18 years! So when we found our little parti Yorkie and fell in love with her we couldn’t wait to share the world’s greatest breed with you.
What makes Andrea & James’s program special
We are a small, in home breeder. The love and joy which my husband and I share for all animals, but especially yorkies, is unmatched. The excitement as delivery day approaches and then arrives, the milestones. The first time we see their eyes open, and soon see their little personalities develop. We love them all, and we love to share that with great owners. We are entrusting our little babies to special people, who we know will be great pet owners.
