In The Pocket

In The Pocket is a Yorkshire terrier breeder in Charlottesville, VA, in Central Virginia and Richmond. It follows breed club guidelines and recommended health screenings for common conditions in Yorkshire terriers.

Puppies grow up in a family home with daily socialization, gentle handling, and supervised outdoor play in a secure yard. In The Pocket focuses on temperament, aiming to produce lively companions suited to city living and small homes. Each litter is raised indoors to encourage early housebreaking and to expose puppies to daily household sounds.

Visits to local dog-friendly venues allow the young dogs to build confidence around new people and environments before they join their families. Health information and lineage details are shared with new owners, and puppies come up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations under guidance from a trusted veterinarian. Breeding adults live in the family home and receive balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and enrichment suited to the breed's size and energy level.
