Emerald Isle Yorkies

Emerald Isle Yorkies raises Yorkshire terriers out of a small kennel in Greenville, South Carolina, in the heart of Upstate SC about an hour and a half northeast of Spartanburg and within easy reach of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Deirdre Carter, who was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, founded the program after moving to the United States and building a family here. Yorkshire terriers have been part of her family's life for many years, and her approach to breeding reflects that long personal connection to the breed.

A show-dog background informs how Carter selects her dogs. Her goal is to produce Yorkshire terrier puppies that conform closely to the AKC breed standard, with an emphasis on sound structure and the steady temperament the breed is known for. Each dog in the program is chosen with an eye toward quality and healthy lines, and puppies are guaranteed under South Carolina state law. Families in the Upstate South Carolina area looking for Yorkshire terrier puppies from a breeder with a conformation background will find a program with roots in both the show ring and the home.
