[Amazing Yorkies]

Thank you Sue! It was so nice to meet you and so nice to know that baby girl has the very best home!
I designed my building for the comfort and health of my dogs. It bothered me when I visited some Show Breeders when they had stacks of wire crates in a "puppy room". They didn't have more room to run, or choices of when they could get out to potty, get away from their puppies, or play with toys. So I decided on a building.
I have special flooring, so they are never on wire. They have access to the sunlight, fresh air, with outside runs by using a doggie door, and yet safe from predators. They have beds, toys, heat and air. I don't have to worry about an ooops breeding, or females killing other female's babies, or the chance of mixing up puppies.
Since I am scared of shears, I have a groomer come three times a week. I have a lady and her husband come daily that their sole job is playing with adults and puppies. That way, they are socialized with men and women, my grandkids, my adult kids, and not just me. It is especially nice because when running a Buffalo farm takes me away from the dogs, they are still given lots of attention and love.
My building is cleaned daily, refreshed nightly, and steam cleaned weekly. I have wash downs that take the poop away, so they don't walk in it or have to smell it. I take pride in my building smelling clean and fresh, not stinking. Which was hard to say, when I had them in my house. It was non stop cleaning to keep the poop cleaned up with a litter of puppies, which took away from their playtime with me.
They all take turns in the house to learn household rules, household noises, and sleeping with me. I have a fenced outside yard for them to carry sticks, run on grass and chase butterflies.
Although I know that a "kennel" is a nasty word on this forum, my dogs are clean, happy and healthy and I'm glad you noticed Sue how important that is to me! I love my dogs and very proud of my breeding, the health and quality of my lines, and my building.
