About Us


 
Ariel View Of Our Farm
 And Also Home to HALIMA HILLS ARABIANS 


We are located in the beautiful rolling hills of Central Ohio.  I have loved and bred Yorkshire Terriers since 1985 (23 years), and Maltese since 1994 (14 years). It has been a sincere passion of mine, to improve each dog with each generation. Going on my fifth generation, I have always tried to breed within the Standard of the Yorkshire Terrier and Maltese.  Incorporating good producing Champion lines for certain desirable qualities. I have spent years breeding and buying the best representatives of the breed I could aquire. Please do not think that because it is a Yorkshire Terrier that they all resemble or look the same, they "Do Not". It takes careful selection in breeding any breed to represent what that particular breed should look like, that is why their is a Standard.

Don`t be dissapointed by what you think you are getting. To many people have come to me saying that the puppy they purchased was not what they were told it would be, it grew very large, ears didn`t stand, rough or cottony coat, health problems, etc.

If you do not care what your Yorkie will look like as an adult, they are out there in all sizes, shapes, prices, etc. If you want a Yorkie that looks like it stepped right out of a Breed book, please go to a reputable breeder you`ll be much happier.





I found this article at EDEN VALLEY YORKSHIRE TERRIERS and agree with it 100%.


With 30+ years in the breed, breeding for quality has been, and still is top priority. If you are looking for quality in your next companion or pet, then you will definitely want to purchase from a breeder who has the experience that you are counting on. Remember, anyone can be a breeder and the Internet is full of "breeders" listings. Even if your purchase is not with me, I would like you to choose a person of reputation to do business with, so you will be completely satisfied.

Being a breeder isn`t just as simple as putting 2 dogs together and hope for good puppies. Pedigree study will  bring out the good qualities on each side is what constitutes being a "responsible breeder."
 
The Internet is an advertising source only and, all advertisers are not the same caliber. The qualities of Yorkies that some breeders produce are only a reflection of their reason for breeding in the first place. If they`re not breeding to "improve" with each litter, then they`re not dedicated to preserve the quality of the breed.

If you are not aware, there are in fact puppy millers on the Internet. Be very careful when choosing a breeder, if you do not feel 100% comfortable with the person you are talking to, and too many red flags go up, that should be your clue to keep looking, no matter how long it takes.

I am telling you these things not to scare you, or "put you off" on the breed. I don`t even mind the cost to post this information on the Internet because I know down deep in my heart that someone will read it and learn from it.
