Pawthenticity currently tracks 212 USDA-licensed Yorkie breeders in our registry — one of the higher counts among the breeds we cover. Yorkies appear consistently across the largest commercial breeding states in our data, including Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, and Pennsylvania. Many Yorkies are also bred outside the USDA system — federal licensing only covers commercial kennels that ship or sell dogs sight-unseen above a specific scale.

This page lists every USDA-licensed Yorkie breeder Pawthenticity tracks. We currently have 212 breeders on file. Each breeder profile includes the full USDA inspection history — kennel size, any non-compliant items found by federal inspectors, license status, and the USDA license number itself. You can search by name or city, or sort by kennel size or number of citations to focus on what matters most to you.

Before you buy a Yorkie puppy from a USDA-licensed kennel, it's worth pulling up the breeder's USDA inspection record. A USDA license alone doesn't tell you much about a kennel — only that the breeder is registered with the federal government and subject to inspections. The actual inspection history is what shows whether a breeder has had repeat issues, whether their dog count is stable or growing, and whether they've changed license numbers over time. Pawthenticity makes the Yorkie USDA records we have searchable in one place so you can compare kennels, spot patterns, and ask the right questions before bringing a puppy home.
