How do we accept payment?

We accept credit cards for deposits only. For final payment, we accept Zelle, Cash, or Cash App. We also offer financing through Terrace Pets.

We focus on Yorkshire Terriers — including babydoll-faced, teacup, and golddust Yorkies. We also have occasional litters (about twice a year) of Yorkiepoos and Morkiepoos.

Do you have a health guarantee?

Yes. We have a written 1-year health guarantee. Please read it in full on the Purchase Agreement page.

Do you provide pet insurance for new puppies?

Yes! Every Designer Yorkies puppy goes home with 30 days of complimentary Trupanion pet insurance, starting the day you pick up your puppy. You have only 24 hours from pickup to activate the coverage — buyers who don't activate within that 24-hour window will not be reimbursed for any veterinary care.

What size are your puppies full grown?

Our puppies vary in size full grown. Most stay around 5 lbs full-grown, and we frequently get some tiny ones in a litter. We have been breeding for many years and do our best to chart weights, but we cannot give a guarantee on adult size.

Where are you located?

We are based in Utah, and place puppies with families across Utah and nationwide.

Do you offer other payment options or a 3rd party to handle payment to guarantee I receive my puppy?

Yes — check out our Camlist flyer on our home page. You can pay with card, have payment protection, and arrange a 12-month payment schedule.

Blue Merle Yorkie Puppies — Health, Genetics & Photos

A Blue Merle Yorkshire Terrier is a Yorkie carrying the merle gene — producing a mottled, marbled coat pattern with dilute blue/grey patches, often paired with one or two blue eyes. The look is striking and rare. The genetics need a careful breeder.

The merle gene, in plain English

Merle is a single dominant gene that lightens random patches of a dog's coat (and sometimes their eyes). One copy of the gene produces a beautiful blue-merle look. Two copies — called "double merle" — produces serious health issues: deafness, blindness, and immune problems.

That means an ethical Blue Merle breeding pairs one merle parent with one non-merle parent — never merle to merle. Our program follows that standard without exception. Every Blue Merle puppy at Designer Yorkies comes from a single-merle pairing.

What Blue Merle Yorkies look like

The merle pattern is unique to every puppy — no two are alike. You'll see:

Patches of dilute (lighter) blue/grey on the typical Yorkie blue-and-tan base
Possible blue, partial blue (heterochromia), or both-blue eyes
Often a small white blaze on the chest or feet
The same silky, hypoallergenic single coat as any Yorkie

What to ask any Blue Merle breeder

Before reserving a Blue Merle puppy from any breeder:

"Is one parent non-merle?" The answer should be yes.
"Has the merle parent been Embark-tested for double-merle?" Should be yes — and you should be allowed to see the result.
"What's your health guarantee on merle-related issues?" A confident breeder offers a multi-year written warranty.
"Can I meet both parents?" If the answer is anything but yes, walk away.
