Welcome to Jarutama Yorkies
We strive to breed affordable, healthy, standard-size Yorkies for loving families who want to love and cuddle a Yorkie. Our moms and puppies are whelped in our home and are taken outside, soon after their 1st vaccination at 6 weeks. They love the outdoors and meeting the other dogs, running and playing on the grass and are well socialized with other animals and people by the time they go to their forever homes.
About Us
In 2016 we decided to retire as breeders, when Rudy decided to pursue his Pedi Sheep farming. The house seemed too quiet, no more Yorkie footprints, no more Yorkie cuddles or kisses and no more babies!!During June 2018, a friend asked Rudy if we are interested in taking in some dogs as she is scaling down on some of her dogs. Without hesitation we said yes and we got back our stud Sire Edenleigh Noble Gold Flavius, Sir Diego and 6 Dams.
Back home we got our kennel up and running. All 3 males had an area with his specific females that stayed with them, breeding specific colours. On 2 September 2018, 4 puppies were born at Jarutama from our golden lady, Lady Eldora.
1 Gold-dust female, 1x Merle male, 1x Merle female and 1 Black and Tan female, were born. All 4 puppies were hand fed with a syringe every 2 hours for 10 days, because Lady Eldora did not have milk until day 10. The puppies thrived with all the love and attention and grew into beautiful puppies, going to their forever homes on 10 November 2018. We still have contact with their parents, who regularly sends us photos and videos of our little darlings.
Since then we have bred other litters successfully. Even were surprised with small Teacup and Pocket size puppies with a weight range of 70g where our normal puppies weigh 120/150g. Special attention was given to these small puppies for they tend to show signs of “puppy fading syndrome”. That means extra feedings every hour, weighing them regularly and keeping them warm. Every litter are handled with the greatest love as if they are my own children even if it means no sleep for days.
Yorkie History
Legacy
The Yorkshire terrier was bred as a ratter, used to hunt mice and rats and there is evidence that they may have been used for hunting. Terriers specialized in pursuing vermin that live in dens. They will defend their young ferociously, therefor any dog willingly pursues them, must have an extraordinary degree of courage and terriers were bred for that quality.
Ancestry
The name implies that Yorkshire terrier originated in Yorkshire, northern England. Miners and mill workers from Scotland searched for work in England and brought with them different varieties of small long-coated terriers, known as Broken Haired Scotch terriers (not Scotties). The specific bloodlines that make up the Yorkshire Terriers were not documented well at that stage. The English Black & Tan Terrier bloodline probably gave the Yorkies its signature colour pattern. These breeds were all working dogs, used to keep vermin under control in the textile mills and coal mines.The breed first appeared in an 1861 bench show in England for the Scotch terrier. Early Yorkies were also known as Toy Terriers and by 1874 they were given the name Yorkshire Terriers.
Huddersfield Ben
A dog known as Huddersfield Ben is acknowledged to be the foundation sire of the Yorkshire Terrier breed. He was born in 1865 in Huddersfield, Yorkshire. The public life of this dog, owned by MA Foster did much to popularize the breed. Ben died in an accident at age 6. In his short life he won 70 prizes at dog shows and was exceptionally skilled in ratting contests.
In America
This breed was introduced in the United States in 1872 and was first registered with American Kennel Club in 1878. They became quite popular as pets in the Victorian era. Smoky, a famous war dog from WWII is credited with beginning a renewal of interest in the then obscure Yorkshire terrier breed.
Today
Yorkies are being bred today smaller than that of the original breed and is now considered more of a fashion accessory than a hunter. They love to be pampered but remain activity terriers at heart.
Available Babies
We pride ourselves in being a “responsible” breeder, for this reason we do not always have babies available. Below is a list of our available babies, and all their information. Some new parents are looking for a specific colour, size or gender, if you are looking for a specific baby, please get in touch and we will gladly add you to our waiting list, for future litters.
