​My husband and I are in our late seventies and suffered the loss of an elderly tiny
Yorkshire Terrier, Henry eight months ago from natural causes.  We were bereft.  He had been our loving and constant companion for ten years and we missed his antics and affection mightily.  At first we considered if we were too old to adopt a new puppy, but six months ago, knowing that our son and his wife who live nearby and loved Henry also missed him mightily, urged us to find a new Yorkie that they would inherit if s/he outlived us.  We began the hunt for our next puppy.  Eventually I found the website of Anne's Precious Yorkies, which included extensive documentation of the lineage of their litters (including dogs from Europe,) the fact that they raised only a few litters each year that were raised in their home with lots of attention given by Anne, her decision not to dock the puppies' tails, and not to let them be adopted until they were at least ten weeks old.  There were pictures of the parents and their puppies.  We poured over them and eventually settled on one young male we immediately named Yoda because having lived with Henry for so long, we knew that Yorkies arrive with "The Force" which is their determination and inclination to form strong personal bonds with their owners.  We had to wait six weeks before he was old enough to adopt and Ann supplied us with weekly videos of him and his sister up until the day we picked him up at Anne's home.  He was a bundle of multi-colored fur with big brown eyes, warm, soft, and cuddly.  In less than a day we were smitten and have been ever since.  Yoda is now eight months old, rambunctious, fun, eager to meet and invite our adult children and their children to play with him, and like Henry, he follows me everywhere, preferring to be within three feet of wherever I am.  He does the same with my husband when I'm out doing errands.  Yoda is smart, too.  He has somehow learned to hold a toy in his mouth, then tease me with it until I lurch to grab it from him, then bolts himself just a half inch out of my reach every time.  I don't know how he does that, but he does.  It's probably good exercise for me.  Then when he senses I'm feeling defeated, he'll dance around me and (on purpose) drop the toy barely out of my reach and sometimes lets me grab it so we can play his favorite game, fetch.  He's taught me to do this rather than the other way around. 
I'm positive that his loving temperament is the result of having been so lovingly raised by Anne since his birth.  The fact that she insists on her puppies keeping their tails (which now curls up and around Yoda's back and sits in a flourish of black curls when it's not wagging) because so many of the puppy mills have them docked without anesthesia (ugh!) told me before we adopted him that she was unwilling to have her puppies traumatized by unnecessary pain.  All puppies should be so protected.
When we picked him up in mid-September last year, he arrived with a hand-knit( by Anne) sweater that looked like Halloween candy-corn, (which he wore on October 31,) a special blanket, recommended food, a supplement to fortify him in case he found going to the vet stressful, and lots of instructions on training, grooming and maturational stages.  
If you're looking for a Yorkie puppy that will be loving, healthy, beautiful and bonded, fall in love with one of Anne's precious puppies.  Yoda is now an affectionate, smart, fun-loving, neutered, twelve and a half pounds of joy who sleeps between us, inching up from our feet to the pillows as nighttime fades and morning arrrives, letting us know he needs to go out to pee, then coming back in ready to play and be petted.  The Force That's With Him is his devotion.  He doesn't replace Henry, but he's carved his own personality into our family life just as Henry did.  We're grateful and thank Anne silently many times a day for what Yoda has brought into our lives and home.

It has been a week since we picked our little girl up from Anne. What a terrific breeder Anne is! They get lots of attention and love from her as soon as they are born. Her puppies are her babies and we are so happy that she let us adopt one.  Before Molly was old enough to bring home, Anne would send us weekly photos and videos so we could watch as she grew. I have called her with questions, and she is always available with answers and information. We have dealt with other breeders in the past who consider their puppies a business only. Anne really cares for all of her babies and makes sure they have the best of everything. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a Yorkie. Anne, you are the best breeder we have ever had the pleasure to get a "baby" from.
Thank you for everything!
​Linda and Joe

Dear Anne,
I can’t thank you enough!  It hasn’t been 24 hours and I am thrilled and in love with my sweetie!  She is absolutely amazing.  She is eating, drinking, pooping and peeing.  She slept through the night and didn’t make a peep. 
Her spirit and demeanor are happy and full of life.  She is very playful and so engaged with Tim and I. 
I want to thank you for being an amazing breeder.  There are so many that do not take the time or put in the effort you, obviously, do.  If I know of anyone looking for a Yorkie, I will certainly give them your name and information.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you!
Best,
​Kim

I can’t say enough good things about Anne! From the start she was so helpful answering all of my many questions I had and even took time out of her day to talk to me on the phone so I could ask more questions!! She constantly kept me in the loop about upcoming litters and helped me decided which parents I wanted a puppy from. Once my puppy was born she kept in constant contact with me and sent lots of pictures, updates, and videos. It’s so nice to be able to watch your puppy from the beginning and know that they are being so well taken care of. Our fur baby Cabo, whose parents are Qissy and Sawyer, is the best! He is so happy all of the time and so friendly! He has the best personality!! Our vet was so impressed with what great condition he was in since day one. He’s been home with us for about 2.5 months and is doing great! We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our family and are so thankful to Anne for all of her help!

Recommendation for Anne Mitts
Right away, I have to say that Anne Mitts is a wonderful breeder.   She deeply cares for all her own Yorkie pets and for every tiny puppy born in her care.   Anne is very serious about genetic testing to be sure that her customers will get a puppy as free from any inherited problems as possible.   She truly does her very best in that regard.   
We have only had our sweet little puppy, Laci for a short time, but she’s bonded to us wonderfully and she’s very smart.  She already knows a couple of traditional commands.   I attribute that to Anne’s care from the time our Laci was born to the day we picked her up.   Anne has her vet on speed dial, so if any of her puppies seem to show signs of any possible illness, she loses no time getting them checked out.   Also, whenever one of her Yorkie Moms is due to have a litter, Anne doesn’t leave the house.   She’s right there to assist and be sure all goes well.    Laci’s parents are Qissy (rare biro) European Champion Lines and Sawyer (biewer - tri parti) and both have beautiful markings.   Our Laci is black and white with tan around her eyes and mouth.  It will be fun to see what her colors will be in about 6 months.  She has given us so much joy and love already.   
Another thing that makes Anne a wonderful breeder is the fact that she shares her information about the care of the puppies, plus any and all questions from a potential customer.  Believe me, I have asked many questions and she always gets back to me without fail in a timely manner.   Anne’s job is 24/7 and she sometimes has 3 or 4 litters a week or two apart to care for, but she still makes time for her customers.   I found that to be impressive, especially due to her busy schedule.   I would highly recommend Anne if you are serious about adding a Yorkie puppy to your family.

How fortunate I was when I found Anne Mitts via her web site Anne's Precious Yorkies. It has so much great information about the breed, genetic testing, past litters, referrals, and so much more. From the very first time I contacted her I was pleasantly surprised how fast she replied. Her application was thorough which made me feels she was in this for the puppies and not for the money. We were in touch on a daily basis and she kept me informedof upcoming litters. I was the 11th on her list at that time but fortunately for me I quickly became first and was delighted to know I would be able to choose a puppy from an ucoming litter. Anne kept me informaed about everything. She has so much love for her adult yorkies as well as the precious tiny puppies born in her home. She is so experienced with the breed and is working very hard to keep the breed true and pure. Our Nika was born on December 21st which was the solstice a very special day. Nika was the tiniest puppy in the litter and Anne was very concerned for her health and well-being. We said our prayers for her daily and nne kept me updates about ehr weekly weight gains and how she was doing. Nika was a fighter and now she is the best little girl I could ever have asked for. I thank Anne with all my heart for all the care, love and communication she provides. She always nlet meknow when she was taking the puppies to the Vet and how Nika was. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful woman. I would recomment Anne to anyone looking for a well adjusted, socialized happy puppy, Thank you Anne for our precious Nika,
Kathleen, Greg, and Nika

 Anne - we absolutely adore Remington and everyone who meets him feels the same way! Our groomer always love seeing him and he has such a unique coloring and green eyes! He has such a great personality and was super easy to house train. He does well with a schedule and loves to travel. He also LOVES his big sister, Lola (Rottie). He is energetic, loves to go for hikes, play fetch and could run for days! Your communication about him from birth and as he got bigger was helpful and your puppy pack that we got when we picked him up was detailed, organized and really helped with the transition of bringing him to his forever home. I will forever have his sweater that you made him when he was a puppy! Can't believe he will be 1 in August! I would recommend you and your puppies any day to anyone! Remington is my first puppy. I grew up with dogs but my dad always trained them etc. Remi is my best little bud and stole my from day 1.

My experience was outstanding! From the detail and personal attention before I brought my puppy home through now, one year later. More importantly, my puppy, Justice, is amazing! He is healthy, happy and has the most loving disposition. I would recommend you in a heartbeat, and will only go back to you if and when I am ready to add to my family again.

Jasper Yorkie Wilson, nicknamed "Monster Dog". LOL. Jasper is almost one year old and is the most amazing dog son! Always happy, FULL of energy, extremely intelligent and very mischievous. He loves his 11 year old sister Lilly Kitty Wilson and brings joy to his human parents every day. We are blessed. Picture of Jasper with one of his favorite toys called "Chicken Man". His nightly routine is to bring it into the kitchen while I am cooking and throw it around to get my attention. LOL. We love our Yorkie!!!!!

After finding Anne when beginning to search for a puppy, I was pleasantly surprised with how much care and detail went into her website. This was someone who knew what she was doing and deeply loved Yorkshire Terriers - that gave me tremendous comfort. Anne was prompt with answering emails, despite the numerous ones I sent, and always willing to answer any questions I had. When we decided to take Jasmine, Anne was courteous, helpful and a joy to work with through the process. Jasmine came to our home puppy pad trained, clean and with a spectacular disposition - I know that was due to the previous 14 weeks in Anne's care. I cannot recommend her more and I hope anyone who seeks out this breed of dog is as fortunate to find Anne as we were.
​Thanks, the Bouchards

I can’t say enough good things about ANNE and her Yorkies. During the process before picking up our pup was simple and informative. Anne was always available to answer questions. After picking up our puppy and bringing him home he was really good a pad training and has done good with his big dog sister and human sibling.

While I was researching breeders and possible adoption/ rescue for a pup, I was fortunate to come across Anne’s precious yorkies. She has so much helpful Information on her page that helped me get a feel for who she is and how compassionate she is about her dogs and pups. I reached out to Anne about one of her puppies and she was very prompt and replied quickly. After I sent the deposit and my Bleu  was put on hold, she reached out to me almost every week with updates about his growth, how he was doing, and always sent pictures and videos to me which made the wait go by so fast. She takes pride in what she does and I would recommend her in a heart beat . We still keep in touch since I brought Bleu home and I will continue to keep in touch as he grows. She gave me the best gift in the world !

I started searching for a Yorkie pup for my mom on line.  There are a lot of sites out there and having had people I know get unknowingly involved with puppy mills and end up with overbred or ill dogs I was very careful.
 I stumbled upon the Anne's Precious Yorkies  website and I went through every part of it.  A picture is truly worth a thousand words.  It was evident just based on the website and reviews that I had a very good chance of purchasing a puppy that came from a good breeder.
 The whole process of communication between Anne and myself was so smooth.  Once we had a puppy picked out, she kept me in the loop from birth through each development stage with pictures, weights and personality.  Even the application form questions made me feel that the whole process was keeping the puppy's best interests in mind and that she was looking for a good home for her puppies.
 We picked the puppy up in September.  We left with a bag of goodies and information.  She even put a handmade sweater on our puppy for the travel.  And she made sure she had a piece of fabric with the puppy's original home smell on it for comfort through her transition into her new home.
 I took the puppy to the vets for her physical.  I gave the vet the paperwork that Anne sent with us.  The vet couldn't say enough good things about the breeder (Anne).  She said the puppy was in perfect health and had been well cared for.  She was happy that the tail and dewclaws were not cut.  She was impressed with the information Anne sent with the puppy and commented that the breeder was very knowledgeable about the Yorkies and gave good advice.  She also said the it was quite evident that the breeder cared very much for the puppies.  She wrote down her website and I believe she will be recommending people to Anne's Precious Yorkies. 
 Anne continues to be there for us for questions or concerns.  It is a comfort to know that she is there to support us and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Yorkie.
 
Thank you Anne !!
Julie

"We are so happy that our friends referred us to Anne! We contacted her via email and received a reply quickly. Once the puppies were born she kept us informed about their growth and health on a regular basis. She clearly cares so much about her dogs and the puppies she breeds. We chose our puppy, Teddy, and received weekly updates, pictures and videos at minimum- sometimes we even got surprise pictures! She makes sure all the puppies get the individual care and attention they deserve. She generously allowed us to visit after he was 6 weeks old and she had decided on a very reasonable price. She answered all the questions we had and took the time to make sure we knew everything we needed to know. When we picked him up she had a puppy bag with all sorts of goodies for him, and a sample of his food. She also made sure we had all the medical records and was willing to answer any questions we had even after we left. Teddy is a happy, healthy, socialized puppy and he was even pee-pad trained when we brought him home! He’s incredibly well behaved, especially for such a young pup! It was a pleasure meeting Anne, and we’re so happy we did- Teddy’s an amazing addition to our family. Anne provides a loving home for her puppies and a supportive experience for her customers!"

Bosco and Gracie are adapting extremely well to their new home.  They're eating and sleeping great, are very affectionate and playful and are enjoying new experiences every day.  We've taken them out several times to various public places (Petco, Agway etc.) and they seem very happy exploring all these new sights, smells and people.  As you can imagine, they attract a lot of attention and both are so friendly when strangers approach them to say hello.  We wanted you to know how happy we are with their energy and wonderful temperament!  They were champs at their first visit to the vet who was impressed by their good health and attitude.  
We're working on house training and a few simple commands.  So far, they're showing great progress.  Can't thank you enough for taking such good care of them, for being so accommodating to our needs and for letting us bring these two beautiful babies into our home.  We'll try to send you periodic pictures of them as they take on new adventures.
Again, Many thanks
Bob and Mary Jane

I purchased my little Quinn from Anne and it was such a pleasant experience. She kept us informed on the growth of Quinn and sent several photos. I would purchase another pup from her and I have recommended her to several people.  It was the best experience ever.

"We are so thankful to have been directed to Anne’s Precious Yorkies for our pup! From the first inquiry I ever sent her, Anne was nothing but kind, informative and always very responsive to correspondence. It was quite apparent from the start, that Anne was very much invested in the care of her pups- which makes waiting for pickup day that much more bearable, knowing that they’re being well taken care of, and with people who love them so much! Working with Anne was a pleasant experience, one that I highly recommend to others. Thank you for our precious Yorkie!"

You are by far the most caring and responsible breeder I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the moment I messaged you with my thousands of questions and concerns you have always been there to help me along the way with picking my perfect pet. I honestly think I have the best Yorkie is the state of Massachusetts but I'm biased. Again I cannot express how wonderful you are and how amazing and special you made it for me when picking up Franklin and how much you truly care about your dog's. If everyone who bred dogs were a little more like you it would be a much better world.

We couldn't be happier with our puppy-buying experience with Anne.  It was very apparent from day one that she truly cares for her puppies, and that they are brought up in a loving environment before going home with their new owners.  Anne made the whole thing easy and was very helpful and responsive with our constant questions once we brought Koopa home.  

Not only did she send us home with a "care package" consisting of food, toys, and gifts, but Koopa was already nearly-pad trained!  Since we've brought him home, he has grown into a loving, healthy little Yorkie.

We couldn't be happier with Anne and we wouldn't hesitate to work with her again or refer her services to others.

This was my first time going through a breeder for a dog and I had no idea what to expect. Anne was engaging from the very beginning of the process with updates, photos, and videos. We chose our puppy based on the videos Anne sent periodically. Initially, I was uneasy about making a decision based on videos, but we found our absolute perfect pup and when we met him for the first time it was just pure love! Anne takes such great care of the pups as they grow and prepare to leave their mom and litter mates. We had chosen a name for our puppy and because Anne used his name when addressing him, he knew his name and was responsive to it immediately upon joining our home. Anne was an amazing resource and very responsive to questions we had within the first few weeks of having our puppy in our home. Because of the wonderful experience I had with Anne, I have referred two friends who either have taken home their own puppy from Anne or are in the process. Anne gave us the greatest gift of a puppy with a great disposition. Our dog, now more than one year old, loves kids, other dogs and is a happy, loving, sassy, playful little guy. We could not be any happier with our decision to go through Anne!

"I was fortunate enough to find Anne Mitts as a Yorkie breeder when I was considering rescuing one. The thought of finding a reputable breeder who cared deeply about the pups nagged at me because there are so many breeders out there that are not legitimate. A friend steered me in the direction of Anne. Lucky, our Yorkie, has been with us for a year and he was completely healthy and well adjusted from the beginning and still is, so much so that my vet is impressed! I would recommend Anne as a breeder and any one of her puppies. She treats all of her dogs and their puppies with the utmost care and concern. I highly recommend her as a breeder, and her puppies should you be considering one."

My experience with Anne and Art was fantastic.  Not only did I bring home Jackie, the love of my life, I became friends with Anne.  She really cares about the Yorkshire Terrier breed and does the best she can to promote all of the positive traits we love in these pups.  Jackie was so well cared for before I took her home; I even got to meet her mother and father.  I couldn't be happier with the relationship I have with Anne and the contact we've maintained since I brought Jackie home.  Best decision I've ever made!

We are so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Anne in 2016, after our 13-year-old Yorkie LuLu passed on that summer. My daughter had found Anne's website and directed me to seek her out for a new puppy. At that time, Anne's Olivia/Barney had just had a new litter and we were invited to come to her home to visit with Anne and select a pup at their 6-week-old time frame. We selected the female and named her LoLa.... and then returned home and waited the additional few weeks until we could pick up LoLa and bring her home with us in late September 2016. In the interim, Anne would post videos and send email updates on their progress and provided lots of information on how to prepare for the ride home and the adjustment for the pup in their new home, and what to buy, etc. which was so very helpful. In addition, as we had a vacation planned within an hour or so to Anne's home at the time of LoLa's release date, Anne was gracious to hold LoLa for an extended week for us (as the other pups were picked up the week prior by their new owners) and Anne simply spoiled little LoLa with one-on-one attention until we got there to pick her up the following week. For the 2 hour ride home, Anne had prepared a goodie bag of food/information and prepared LoLa for the ride to her new home with such care and love as no other breeder that I have ever known. LoLa is the pride and joy of our life, and has a little personality that brightens our every day, and, of course, is simply the Princess in our home! Working with Anne was a pure delight and Anne continues to be there by email with answers to our questions and/or to simply share puppy updates. We recommend Anne's Precious Yorkies and will seek Anne out again when our other Yorkie Mandy who is 16 years old passes on (whenever that may happen). Thank you, Anne, for all your support, friendship and your attention to the health and welfare of all your dogs and their puppies!
