Our story
From Dachshunds to Mastiffs to Yorkies
Our experience started with Dachshunds, grew through years with English Mastiffs, and led us to the spirited little dogs we raise today: Yorkshire Terriers.
Along the way, we built a life around dogs — breeding, training, grooming, stud service, and rescue.
Happy families
Puppies worth coming back for
Seeing a Yorkie head home in loving arms is one of the best parts of what we do. Riley's happy send-off with Joe and Sue is a memory we're proud to share.
The couple by their Jeep came back for a second McCoy puppy from a later litter — both are beloved companions, never bred. They were so happy with the first, they came back for another. Two McCoy families have done exactly that.

Hazel's happy ending
Hazel is the black-and-white parti puppy with quite the personality — fearless, adventurous, and, in Eric's words, "a very big case of the zoomies all the time." She went home to her forever family at five and a half months old, after a couple of extra weeks with Eric and Crystal that did her good.
Her mom Janene left a five-star Google review: "I expected chaos but was pleasantly surprised at how there was almost no barking & every dog was friendly & interested in me. All were healthy and obviously well cared for in the perfect home setting, not a kennel. I've been sent pictures, videos & updated on everything about my puppy, Hazel without even having to ask… Top shelf breeders!"
And yes — that's Hazel in the video below, repeatedly trying to beat up Jackson, the family's 25-pound rescued cat. Jackson, as you can see, remains unbothered.

Joe on Riley
Joe and Sue's Riley — Elvis and Priscilla's brother — made the cover of Michigan Yorkie Monthly, and Joe sat down to tell the story himself. "I can't begin to tell you how good it is to have a Yorkie from McCoy," he says, describing how Riley was socialized around Yorkies, Sawyer, rabbits, and chickens from the start.
What stuck with him most: these puppies are "not just born and thrown into a cage." They're raised in the middle of family life — and Joe recommends Eric and Crystal to anyone looking for a well-matched puppy.

Puppy moments
More of the little ones
Tiny paws, big personalities — everyday moments with the puppies, raised right here in the middle of family life.
Here’s what happens next
From first call to homecoming
Reach out to talk about the puppies and ask your questions. If it feels like a fit, you'll set up a time to meet Elvis and Priscilla at our home — visits are by appointment.
1. Start a conversation
Call to learn about current availability, personality, care, and whether a tiny Yorkie fits your family.
2. Meet by appointment
Visit our Hillsdale home and spend time with the puppies before you decide.
3. Go home prepared
Every puppy goes home vet-checked, with shots current, dewclaws removed, tail docked, and an AKC Reunite temperature-sensing microchip.
Reserved with a deposit
A deposit reserves a puppy not yet old enough to go home. Deposits are non-refundable, with one fair exception: if we can't meet the need you reserved for, your deposit comes back. Example: you reserve from an unborn litter hoping for a female, and no female is born — you get your deposit back. Call for details before reserving.
Home at the right time
Puppies usually go home at 10–12 weeks. We pick the safest timing for each family — with larger dogs or small kids in the home, we may keep a tiny puppy a little longer so it's stronger and less likely to get hurt. Homecoming follows the puppy's well-being, not just the calendar.
Raised in our home, not a kennel
Your puppy's head start
By the time your puppy comes home, life here has already taught it a lot. But what we start, you continue — start the habits you want the day your puppy arrives home.
Handled from day one
Your puppy already knows it's okay to have its feet touched for nail trims, okay to get a bath or a haircut, what treats are, and the difference between outside and inside. Those tiny nails are sharp — they've already been filed two or three times.
Farm-raised and socialized
Our puppies grow up around ducks, rabbits, chickens, and all kinds of animals. They've probably been to a camper, likely been on a boat ride, and definitely had plenty of baths. New sights and sounds don't rattle them.
Going home with their favorite toy
Every puppy goes home with its favorite toy, so something familiar comes along. We try not to cut their hair before they go home — though they sometimes get a little trim back there.
Keep the training going
Whatever you want your dog to do — not bark, go potty in the right place, travel well — start the day your puppy gets home. Keeping up what we started is what makes it stick.
Start traveling young
Yorkies are prone to car sickness, so start riding with them while they're young — short rides at first, then longer ones. And never feed before a ride: if you're leaving at 10 in the morning, skip breakfast.
Yorkie know-how
What life with a tiny Yorkie can be like
After 40 years with AKC dogs, we know a good match starts with honest expectations. Yorkies may be small, but they're bright, involved companions who need attention and patient guidance — and some of the biggest dangers are ones you'd never think of.
Temperament
Expect a lively, affectionate little dog with a big personality. Individual puppies differ, which is why we share what we see in Elvis and Priscilla.
Everyday care
The Yorkie's fine coat benefits from regular grooming. Their small size also calls for thoughtful handling, close supervision, and a home prepared for a tiny companion.
For frequent baths: tearless baby shampoo
For baths at home, we recommend tearless baby shampoo — the gentle, no-tears kind made for babies. It's easy on their eyes and skin, which matters when you're bathing often, like every couple of weeks. (Using a flea shampoo instead? Follow that product's directions.)
Steps everywhere
Put steps by the bed, the couch, and your favorite recliner — right next to their favorite human. Yorkies can jump — believe us — but you don't want them to. Knees are the weak spot in this breed. We have steps all through our house, and in 40 years we've never had a knee issue. Our vet says every one of our dogs is A-OK in the knees.
A responsible start
You'll go home knowing your puppy's full story: shots, dewclaw and tail status, microchip, personality, and expected size. Adult weight is an estimate, not a guarantee.
A serious warning about artificial grass
Please do not buy artificial grass for your Yorkie — not from Amazon, not from any store. We know of a Yorkie that chewed and swallowed pieces of it and had to be rushed to the emergency room. Stick with real grass and puppy pads.
A serious warning about acorns
If you have an oak tree dropping acorns in your yard, rake them up — every single one. Acorns are an extreme danger to Yorkies, and a curious little nose will find them. Don't let your Yorkie out in the yard around acorns at all. Honestly? If you've got an acorn tree, cut it down. We wouldn't risk it, and neither should you.
A serious warning about predators
Never leave your Yorkie outside alone — not even for a minute. Hawks, eagles, and owls hunt from above — a great horned owl can carry off a tiny dog, and a hawk's talons can do terrible damage even when it can't lift them. Coyotes are the biggest ground threat and hunt hardest at dawn and dusk, and loose large dogs are a danger too — just because your dog is friendly doesn't mean the other dog is. Watch the skies, watch the tree line, and stay out there with them. A Yorkie should never be outside by themselves.
Harness, never a collar
Never walk your Yorkie on a collar — always use a harness. Yorkies are one of the breeds most prone to tracheal collapse — the American College of Veterinary Surgeons lists them first — and pressure on the throat from a collar can trigger coughing and make it worse. A harness spreads the pressure across the chest and shoulders where it's safe. If you ever hear a goose-honking cough, have your vet check your dog's airway. Harness every time, no exceptions.
Their own quiet place
Give your Yorkie a spot that's all theirs — even a crate with a bed and a blanket — so they know they're safe there. When the house gets wild and the grandkids are running around, a little dog sometimes just needs to slip away and decompress.
Eric's tip on barking
The first six months, you've just got to correct the barking — a firm "hush," a clap, a snap of the fingers, or that little tongue-smack you call farm animals with. Stay consistent and you'll cut the barking way down. At least while you're home.
Food, water & good habits
Food, diet & potty training
Moving from mother's milk to solid food is one of the trickiest transitions a tiny puppy goes through. At just a couple of pounds, their little systems adjust slowly and they constipate easily — so we take feeding seriously, and everything below is something we've fed our own dogs for years. And once they're eating, the next lesson is where to go — we teach that with treats.
Starting out: Royal Canin starter mousse
For the first step off mother's milk, we use Royal Canin Mother & Babydog Starter Ultra Soft Mousse. It comes in small 5.1-ounce cans, made to ease weaning puppies from nursing to solid food.
The main meal: Royal Canin wet food
Our dogs' main food is Royal Canin wet food in the small cans. Royal Canin makes a breed-specific Yorkshire Terrier formula in both dry and wet forms, labeled to meet AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles, and its stated research and manufacturing practices line up with WSAVA's manufacturer-selection guidance (WSAVA doesn't certify any brand — it's just good questions to ask). It's made for tiny mouths and sensitive Yorkie tummies, and it's the everyday diet behind the healthy coats you see in our photos.
Bil-Jac: the power supplement
We use Bil-Jac as a nutrient and protein supplement for one meal — in our experience, a full diet of it usually leaves our little Yorkies constipated. (Veterinary sources list dehydration, fiber imbalance, and inactivity as the usual causes — but after 40 years, we trust what we've seen in our own house.) We've fed Bil-Jac frozen for 35 years with no issues ever — and the bag says it right there: that food, that packaging, around since 1947. It's labeled complete and balanced under AAFCO profiles for all life stages. The 5 lb bag suits a multi-dog home; the 2 lb bag is the economical choice for one Yorkie. Keep it frozen, and once thawed, use it within 7–10 days. We've used it to bring malnourished rescues back — weight and health come back faster on it than on dry food.
Dry food down for grazing
Alongside the wet food, we keep Royal Canin or Bil-Jac dry food down for grazing. A single Yorkie only needs about a quarter cup at a time — they don't eat much. The three foods we recommend are Royal Canin, Bil-Jac, and Hill's Science Diet — Hill's Small & Mini formulas are labeled complete and balanced under AAFCO profiles too. We also make our own dog food.
A treat our dogs love
One treat our dogs go crazy for is the Gaines Family Farmstead sweet potato bones wrapped in chicken. They're made in the USA with simple ingredients — and as far as we know, they're all natural. We checked, and we found no recalls on them. For a little Yorkie, we'd suggest half a treat a day, or one whole treat every other day. They're kind of good for teething, too.
Teeth: watch the adult mouth
Teeth aren't so much a puppy problem — it's when they turn into an adult that the trouble starts. A Yorkie's mouth is tiny and the teeth crowd together, which gives plaque and tartar plenty of places to hide. The signs are easy to spot once you know them: bad breath that wasn't there before, red or puffy gums, yellow or brown buildup along the gumline, dropping food or chewing on one side, or pawing at the face. Sawyer taught us this one the hard way — when he came to us he'd never seen a vet, and his mouth was so far gone every tooth had to come out. He eats soft food now and lives just fine, but it didn't have to get that far. Keep an eye on the mouth as they grow up, and have your vet take a look at those teeth at checkups.
How we judge a dog food
Our vet says it best: some bestselling dog foods are the McDonald's of the dog world — dogs love the taste, but there's not much nutrition behind it.
We read labels, not commercials. First, safety history: Hill's had an FDA-documented 2019 recall of 86 lots of canned dog food for excess vitamin D; Royal Canin has had no dog-food recall in the last ten years; Bil-Jac's only withdrawal was a limited one back in 2012. Recalls happen — what matters is whether a company owns them and whether the pattern repeats. Second, the AAFCO statement: look for a label that says the food meets AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles or passed AAFCO feeding tests. Third, our preferences: real meat first, and we skip meat and bone meal or unnamed by-products, corn, wheat, or soy leading the list, added salt and sugar, chemical preservatives like BHA or sodium nitrate, and artificial colors. That's our house rule — not a medical verdict on any brand.
The two things we watch for in this breed are tracheas — see our harness rule above, backed by Cornell and the veterinary surgery college — and, in older dogs, kidneys: senior checkups with bloodwork catch trouble early. Yorkies are also one of the breeds most associated with a congenital liver shunt, so we encourage owners to have their vet screen puppies.
Eric's short list
If we had to name two: Royal Canin and Bil-Jac. Royal Canin wet food in the small cans is the main meal; Bil-Jac is the nutrient-packed supplement for one meal a day. Eric's fed Bil-Jac for 35 years and still judges every bag by price per pound. Our rule is simple: real meat first, no junk fillers.
Potty training, the treat way
Let's be honest: Yorkies are famously hard to potty train — tiny bladders, big opinions. What works in our house is the treat training method. Same spot, same command, every time: out first thing in the morning, within 15–20 minutes after every meal, after naps, after play sessions, every couple of hours in between, and last thing at night. When you can't watch them, crate or playpen — dogs don't like to soil their sleeping spot.
The second they go: a tiny treat within seconds, right where they went — plus a whole lot of praise. That instant reward is what connects the dots, and trainers and vets agree on the details: don't flash the treat beforehand (it distracts them), and don't wait until you're back inside (they won't connect it to the spot). And don't let them trick you: make sure they actually went before the treat comes out. Yorkies are smart enough to run that scam. And don't rush straight back inside afterward, or they'll learn that going means the fun's over. Accidents will happen — that's the process. Never scold for one; just clean it with an enzymatic cleaner so no scent marker is left behind.
Our training treat: Little Jacs
Bil-Jac Little Jacs — small, soft, made with fresh chicken liver. The perfect payday for a job well done.
If they get constipated: pumpkin puree
Tiny puppies constipate easily when switching to solid food. Our answer: plain 100% canned pumpkin — never pumpkin pie filling, which has spices and sugar that don't belong in a dog. A teaspoon or a few teaspoons mixed into food helps get things moving again; veterinary sources back pumpkin's fiber as a mild aid. Crystal freezes it in one- to two-tablespoon portions in small Ziploc bags, so you thaw just what you need instead of watching a big open can go bad.
A firm little tummy can be your first hint — but call your vet if your puppy strains repeatedly, vomits, won't eat, seems in pain, or hasn't passed stool in a day or two. Constipation that won't clear up isn't a wait-and-see thing. (What vets say about pumpkin)
Fresh water, the easy way
We like stainless steel pet water fountains — some are motion-sensored. Our routine: change or rinse the filter every week, and wash the whole fountain out weekly (check your own model's manual too — intervals vary by fountain). Fresh water only stays fresh in a clean fountain. Our four-acre farm sits on artesian springs (it used to be a trout farm), with six ponds that run 51 degrees year-round and never freeze. Good water has always been part of life here.
Fresh, flowing water on demand — the dogs’ fountain keeps everyone happily hydrated.
Buy smart
Buying a puppy? Don't get scammed.
Puppy scams are all over the place, and the Michigan Attorney General put out a list of warning signs. Here's their list — and how we measure up against every one of them:
🚩 They won't show you the puppy on video, let alone in person.
Come visit. By appointment you can meet the puppies, meet their mother, and see exactly where they're raised. Can't make it here? We'll go live on video with you so you can meet your puppy. And never meet a seller in a parking lot — you want to see the home conditions, meet mom and dad.
🚩 They're vague about where they're located.
1771 Bridge Rd, Hillsdale, Michigan. Real address, real home, real people.
🚩 The price is way below normal, then new fees appear after it.
No games here. Everything's talked through up front before any deposit changes hands.
🚩 They pressure you to pay by wire, gift cards, or payment apps.
Never any pressure, never any rush.
🚩 The "AKC papers" and vet records can't be verified.
Every puppy goes home with real AKC paperwork and pedigree, plus real vet records from our vet — and our vet releases all his records to your vet.
The Attorney General also says: search the breeder's name and testimonials for copies, and keep every document, message, and photo. We agree — look us up anywhere.
If a seller fails any of these, walk away. That's their advice, and it's ours too.

About McCoy's
Breeding is in the family
Our story runs from a father's AKC Dachshunds, to a son's English Mastiffs, to the Yorkshire Terriers at the heart of our home today.
Second-generation breeder
It started with my dad's Dachshunds
I grew up around breeding. As a child, I watched my dad raise AKC long-haired and short-haired Dachshunds in colors most people hadn't seen yet. He taught me that knowing a breed means watching the whole dog: health, temperament, structure, behavior, and everyday care.
Dachshunds
My first lessons came at home beside my dad and his AKC Dachshunds. That's where the family tradition began.
English Mastiffs
When I moved out on my own, I started raising English Mastiffs. Working with such powerful, sensitive dogs taught me training, trust, and temperament.
Harley
One of the unforgettable ones was Harley—a 225-pound male with a 30-inch neck. I had to buy him a 32-inch horse collar. He drew a crowd everywhere we went: a true gentle giant who also understood exactly what I asked of him.
Yorkshire Terriers
Then a little Yorkie named Tiger came into my life. He was small enough to ride everywhere with me and had enough personality to begin a whole new chapter.
Through it all, one thing never changed: 40 years with AKC dogs, and the belief that every puppy deserves an experienced start and a family ready to understand the dog in front of them.
The Yorkie chapter begins
Then came Tiger
I had a friend who was a nurse. She knew a couple who both worked the same 14-hour shift, and they had this little Yorkie named Tiger. Tiger didn't like being left alone for 14 hours, so they did the right thing and found somebody who had more time for him. I had just had back surgery, and they decided I was a good candidate.
So I took him in—and let me tell you, that little dog had such a personality. He was tired of being left at home. He wanted to go everywhere with me, and I mean everywhere. He didn't care if it was on a cigarette boat going 50 miles an hour or on the back of a Harley. He didn't care where we were going; he just wanted to go.
Tiger was a rehomed little dog with a huge personality. He stole my heart, and that's how my Yorkie chapter began.
Loss and new beginnings
Samson & Delilah
After I moved to Michigan, I wanted another Yorkie — but first I came across a Massweiler, half Mastiff and half Rottweiler, and adopted him. His name was Samson.
About five days later, I found my Yorkie, Delilah. People thought I was crazy. They said, “We thought you were looking for a Yorkie!” I raised Samson and Delilah together, and it made them both wonderful, gentle dogs. Delilah ran the house — she'd take Samson's bone and wouldn't let him take it back. Watching that tiny Yorkie boss around such a big dog was so funny.
Samson developed cancer and we lost him at only three and a half. It was devastating. But the love he and Delilah shared is part of the family story that still guides how every animal here is raised.
Raised right here on the farm
From hatching day to feeding time, the smallest animals grow up with hands-on care—and usually a curious Yorkie nearby.
The gentle giant and the tiny boss
Samson had the size, but Delilah ruled the house—and he seemed perfectly happy with the arrangement.
The foundation of McCoy's
One remarkable girl, then Lennon the lover
I got Delilah from Fargo's Yorkies. To me, she's the perfect Yorkie — perfect hair, perfect color, a beautiful dark-coated little girl who grew to 5.8 pounds.
Her first litter was with a friend's little Yorkie named Harley, smaller than she was. After that, I went down to lower Indiana and bought Lennon as my stud dog. His mother was imported from Ukraine; his father was a tiny black-haired Yorkie.
Lennon the lover — that's what I call him. He's dual-registered AKC and ACA with more than nine AKC litters. With his most recent litter, the AKC required a DNA test because he'd sired so many — that verification is part of the record behind my little stud. He's about eight and a half now.
DelilahThe girl whose coat, color, and temperament set the foundation—and the greatest grandma the pups could have.
LennonDual-registered AKC and ACA, with AKC DNA verification and more than nine litters.
Lennon and Delilah really built McCoy's Michigan Yorkies. Everything that followed grew from the care, character, and experience they brought into our home.
Saylor Rayne
Saylor Rayne came after Gemma. She's a chocolate AKC Yorkshire Terrier and weighs 5.3 pounds when she isn't pregnant—a loving girl and devoted mama.
Waylon Coal
Waylon Coal came next: a black-and-white tuxedo AKC Yorkie with an adventurous streak — and a super big sweetheart underneath it all. He's a big lover who loves attention and will paw at you to get petted. He loves riding the Harley in his doggles and goes everywhere with us, no matter what we're doing. And for all his adventure, he's a big, chill guy who just melts in your arms.
Priscilla, looking toward the camera — this is the one-on-one attention every puppy here gets.
What matters to us
Care that goes beyond a litter
McCoy's Michigan Yorkies is family-oriented, with a broad understanding of dogs: breeding, rescue, grooming, stud service, and training know-how.
All of it shapes how we care for our Yorkies and talk with future families.

The story comes full circle
Giving back to the Yorkie community
We try to save every animal we come across that needs help—and yes, that includes humans.
Lennon and Delilah built McCoy's Michigan Yorkies — and then it became a rescue too. We started rescuing Yorkies to give back to the community that gave me so much when a rehomed little dog named Tiger came into my life.
It started with taking one dog in. Today, the mission is still led by the dogs: raise them with love, understand the one in front of you, and be there when a Yorkie needs another chance.
We’re now working on forming McCoy’s Animal Rescue as a nonprofit, so this lifesaving work can keep growing.
No rescues are currently available for adoption.
Gracie Mae is our only rescue today, and she's permanent family — not adoptable, not going anywhere. The stories below are past happy endings. Have a Yorkie in need of rescue? Reach out. Come across a monkey who needs rescuing? Call us right away — that's Crystal's lifelong dream. We also help the Toledo Humane Society rescue their farm animals.
Help us keep rescuing
Every rescue's vet care, food, and supplies come straight out of our own pockets — from full vet workups like Sawyer's to the everyday costs of keeping a rescue comfortable. Your donation goes further than Yorkies: we also rescue ducks, geese, chickens, pigs, rabbits, ferrets, squirrels, parrots, macaws, and any animal that needs a second chance. Know someone with an animal that needs rescuing? Tell them to get a hold of us. Want your donation to go only to the Yorkies? Give through Fieldstone Veterinary Care, or add a note saying it's for the Yorkies.
Ways to help: chip in toward vet bills with PayPal below — or call Fieldstone Veterinary Care in Jonesville at (517) 437-0171, mention McCoy's Michigan Yorkies and rescue, and say you'd like to donate toward our account. Rather send supplies? Beds, blankets, toys, food, treats, and potty pads are always needed — order on Amazon and ship straight to us. Call first and we'll tell you where to send it.
Happy endings
Meet our successful rescues
Every one of these dogs got a second chance — and found exactly where they belonged.
Our very first rescue
Gracie Mae stayed family
Gracie Mae is a 13-year-old Yorkie Poo — the first dog we ever rescued. She came to us with a few bad habits, and we fixed all of that. We took her in meaning to find her a home, but Eric and Crystal knew she was already where she belonged.
Gracie Mae will never be rehomed. She still lives here as the grandma of the house, right alongside Delilah.
Our second rescue
Patience changed Nico's life
Nico came to us with real challenges: potty-training troubles and aggression — and a dye job (that red tint wasn't his). Eric and Crystal worked patiently with him on all of it, and fixed every bit.
Once Nico was ready, he went home with a lovely family who loves him very much.
A first dog for five excited kids
Remy knew he was home
Remy came to us at about nine months old. His mom was working too much, and he was going stir-crazy in an apartment. We took him in and found he didn't need much work — shots already current, he just needed the right home and people with time for him.
He went to a wonderful family with five kids, the oldest around sixteen — the first dog those kids had ever owned. The minute he walked in, he ran around rubbing himself all over the furniture like he was saying, “This is my home now.”
He knew exactly where he was supposed to be—and he's been loved there ever since.
A Hillsdale happy ending
Little Jensen found his lap
Little Jensen came to us from a lady who couldn't care for him anymore. He had a club foot, a steel rod in his front leg, and he was very timid. Around all our other Yorkies, he had no choice but to come out of his shell — and he did.
A wonderful lady right here in Hillsdale adopted him. She'd had Yorkies for years but never one that wanted to sit on her lap all the time — well, she got her lap dog, because that's all Jensen wants to do.
Now they're the best of partners, sitting together to watch the sunrise every morning over coffee. No coffee for Jensen, of course—he gets wound up enough as it is, especially when treats are involved.
Rescue spotlight · Rehomed September 2026
Sawyer's fresh start
Sawyer was found abandoned in a baseball field, about eight to ten years old. His finder tracked down his owner, but she didn't want him back. He'd never seen a vet and came to us with no papers or history.
At Fieldstone Veterinarian in Jonesville, Dr. Mike helped us give him the care he'd missed: neutering, a full round of shots including rabies, and every painful tooth extracted. He has no teeth now and eats soft food for life — but he lives a normal, comfortable life.
Today, Sawyer is home with Cal and Darlene — a wonderful couple who adore him, the way he always should have been loved.
Darlene's report: he's a very good boy, very sweet — and he loves to snuggle.

We work through training challenges and build better habits.
Prepare the adopter
We tell you about any training areas that need continued work at home.
Ready for home
Dogs go home healthy, with vaccinations current.
Care continues after adoption
Crystal grooms and trims nails free for animals adopted through the rescue, keeping them comfortable as they settle in.
Helping local dogs in need
When a family is going through a hard time and a small dog desperately needs grooming, we sometimes step in free. Yorkies preferred, but we'll help other dogs too.

A life built around dogs
From Yorkie puppies to grooming, stud service, training know-how, and rescue — our experience covers every part of dog care.
Yorkshire Terrier puppies
Family-raised AKC Yorkies — careful attention, health care, and one-of-a-kind personalities.
Dog grooming
Crystal offers full grooming, flea baths, conditioning baths, and nail care — backed by decades of handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Grooming appointments are $75–$100.
Yorkshire Terrier stud service
Lennon is our proven 3.8-pound stud — one of the dogs who built McCoy's Michigan Yorkies. At about 8½, he's dual-registered AKC and ACA, has sired 9+ AKC litters, and is AKC DNA-tested. He's nearing retirement with about one more year at stud — a limited chance to add his established line to your program.
Waylon Coal is our 7.5-pound black-and-white tuxedo AKC Yorkie. The adventurous little rider who goes everywhere with us also stands at stud — bringing his one-of-a-kind look and outgoing personality to the program.
Our boys breed only with AKC-registered female Yorkshire Terriers. Breeding happens in-house at our Hillsdale home — the female's owner brings her at the right point in her cycle. One flat, reasonable stud fee, by appointment only. Call to talk timing, suitability, and which stud fits.
Rescue
Every rescue is evaluated, vet-checked, helped through training needs, and thoughtfully prepared for a loving home. No rescues available right now — but call if you have a Yorkie in need.
Dog training knowledge
Practical, long-term experience raising and training very different breeds.
Grooming with Crystal
Book Now
Grooming is by appointment only. Appointments are $75–$100 and take place at the McCoy home in Hillsdale, Michigan.
A thank-you for McCoy’s puppy families: 20% off grooming with Crystal — familiar hands to keep that Yorkie coat looking sharp.
Bringing more than one dog? 10% off each additional dog.
Bathing at home between grooms? We recommend tearless baby shampoo — the gentle, no-tears kind. Easy on eyes and skin, which matters when you're bathing often, like every couple of weeks. (Using flea shampoo instead? Follow its directions.)
