Yorkies of Houston is Committed to Doing Life with You!

After graduating from Baylor University and working in the Neonatal ICU at Texas Children‘s Hospital, our founder Ekiria Collins developed  a strong desire to become a mother. Due to her dedication to the children and families at Texas Children's Hospital and her community service, she thought it would be best for her to become a pet parent. 

Our founder began her journey by researching and interviewing breeders. She learned to stay away from commercial pet stores that don’t breed their own dogs and can’t physically show the parents. During her research on Breeders, she saw horror stories of how dogs were being born in puppy mills and unhealthy breeding practices of some local and popular breeders. Ekiria’s family began breeding in 1987. Although she had plans for a medical career, she became inspired to continue the healthy breeding practices she experienced as a child and implement the education and medical training she received in her breeding program with her own breeding program. Ekiria become a registered and reputable breeder in 2007. Thirteen years later, her fur babies are still her children. Her family joined her in raising high quality, healthy, and socialized puppies. Our network has now grown to include trusted friends and customers who partner with us. We believe it takes a village to raise Gold Standard Puppies. 

We are grateful for our customers and our goal is to do life with you in every stage of your puppy’s life. We provide prenatal parent visits before our moms deliver, scheduled visits for family and puppy bonding, picture or video updates with growth milestones, and life-long coaching on raising your puppy.
