Yorkie Bear Ranch

Yorkie Bear Ranch breeds Shih tzu and yorkshire terrier in Apple Valley, CA, in the Mojave Desert near Los Angeles. Maryann has more than 15 years of experience, maintains American Kennel Club membership and conducts routine health testing. Puppies grow up indoors with close family interaction and fun daily outings to nearby parks, trails and socialization sessions with local shelter volunteers. Each litter is raised on our ranch so pups receive gentle handling and consistent monitoring from day one.

Several graduates have joined local reading programs and senior care facilities as therapy companions. Owners benefit from detailed health records, lifetime support and guidance tailored to each puppy’s temperament. Health clearances include screenings for common breed-specific issues such as patellar luxation and eye disorders. Prospective families often note the puppies’ calm demeanor and adaptability to both apartment living and spacious homes.
