How My Grace Yorkies Started

My Grace Yorkies started with Durwood Smith and Sherri Smith who raised Golden Retrievers for over 30 years. They felt they were the best breed anyone could have. They thought anyone who had a little dog was nuts. Then one day they were visiting a kennel, and saw Ben and fell in love with him that moment. They realized the benefits of a Yorkie, they’re small, don’t eat as much, don’t shed, easy to take on trips, love kids, are a good watch dog, smart, and they love you as much as you love them.

Their last Golden Retriever was up in years and they decided they would raise Yorkies. Not for show but exactly what they raised the Golden Retrievers for, good family, fun dogs that are easy to handle.

If you are in the market for a loveable, fun dog that is easy to handle, healthy and doesn’t shed, then a Yorkie is for you. Because of the nature of how the Yorkie came about Gracie’s puppies could be small, especially since Ben’s mother was only 6 pounds and Gracie’s dad was only 5 lbs. There could also be a Ben (14lbs). If there is, that lucky person will be the happiest of all.
