STANDARD TRADITIONAL YORKIES
We believe every Yorkie deserves to be well bred!
HOW CAN ONE PUPPY COST SO MUCH?
We truly breed for the love of the breed and invest heavily in the quality of the adults and puppies in our program.
We don't cut corners and provide only the best in veterinary care, food, supplies & equipment.
Small litters sizes can cause the cost per puppy to really add up.
WHAT GOES INTO THE COST OF EACH KANDEW PUPPY?
INVESTMENT IN QUALITY DAMS & SIRES
Ethical high quality breeders spend years and thousands of dollars titling and improving their breeding lines. They are not likely to share their hard work and getting these lines is a challenge. Quality is hard to come by and is not cheap to attain.
