Our Breeding Philosophy
At Crooked Trail Kennel, we are dedicated to breeding elite Yorkshire Terriers on our expansive 55 acres in Kingman, Arizona. Our commitment to excellence means we specialize in rare and exotic Yorkies, including Blue Merle, Platinum, CB Black, Chocolate, and Gold Dust, as well as Parti and Tuxedo patterns. We utilize data-driven approaches and DNA-verified genetics to ensure the health, temperament, and color purity of our puppies. As a professional standard, our program is fully insured under a comprehensive breeder policy. Our cornerstone sire, Goliath the Great, represents the pinnacle of our breeding program, with our first litters anticipated in Summer 2027. We invite you to discover the exceptional quality of our Yorkshire Terriers and join our community of passionate dog lovers.
Our Vision
Our Vision is to become the premier name in exotic Yorkshire Terriers, setting the global standard for health, temperament and breathtaking color. We envision a future where every Blue Merle, Chocolate, Gold Dust, KB Black, Parti and Platinum Tuxedo carries the hallmark of the Crooked Trail; a legacy of refinement and ranch-hardy excellence.
Our Mission
At Crooked Trail Kennel we are dedicated to the artistry of the exotic Yorkshire Terrier. Nestled on our 55-acre off-grid ranch in Mohave County, we create a world-class color palette, from the shimmering depth of the Blue Merle and the rich warmth of the Chocolate to infinite depth of the KB Black and the brilliant luster of the Gold Dust. Our lineup is completed by the boldly patterned Parti, the precise Platinum-line Tuxedo, and the "frosted" elegance of the Sable.
Our mission is to refine the breed by merging these extraordinary genetics with a sturdy, ranch-hardy 6lb-standard frame. Every Crooked Trail puppy is a product of relentless research and deep-seated passion. They're raised to be bold, beautiful and loyal companions for those who seek the truly exceptional.
