Family is everything

The Ashby family

We are Nathaniel and Ashley Ashby, high school sweethearts who fell in love, settled down, and started our family right here in our hometown in Southwest Idaho.

Our journey with dogs began in 2005 when we brought home our first fur babies, two Boston Terriers named Molly and Max. We welcomed our first litter in 2007, and what started as something we loved quickly became a lasting part of our family.

Over the years, our family has grown to include 11 children and many beloved dogs. Along the way, we fell in love with Yorkshire Terriers — their personalities, loyalty, and the incredible amount of character packed into such a tiny dog.

Today, we are a small, family-based breeder specializing in traditional blue and tan, black and gold, parti, and chocolate parti Yorkies. Our dogs and puppies are raised with lots of individual attention, hands-on care, and, most importantly, love.

We are located in Idaho's Treasure Valley, about 45 minutes from Boise. For families outside of driving distance, we can also arrange delivery with a trusted pet nanny for an additional fee.

If you think one of our Yorkies might be the perfect addition to your family, we invite you to submit a puppy application. We would love to help you find the right puppy for your home.

Our Program

Right there with them from the moment they are born

Every puppy is precious to us and we are right there with them from the moment they are born. Their health and well-being is of the utmost importance to us.

  • Daily weight checks

    Every puppy is weighed daily for up to two weeks, then weekly after that, so nothing gets missed in those first fragile days.

  • Handled every day

    They are handled every day, well socialized, and introduced to new toys, sounds, and other dogs long before they go home.

  • Grooming, started early

    They are introduced to the bath and to basic grooming on their face, ears, feet, and nails, so their first groom is never a shock.

  • Raised in our home

    We are a fully intact, in-home breeder. Our dogs are family members — ours and our Guardian homes' — not kennel dogs.
