HOW DO I GET ON THE WAIT LIST?

The holding fee is $500. We have 2 options on holding fees.

1. $500 non-refundable holding fee is paid when you pick out your pup, with the balance due at pick up.
2. Waitlist fee of $250, this is paid before babies are born. This puts you on the waiting list in order of when the fee is paid. The remainder of the holding fee is due when you select your pup, with the balance due at pick up.

  We always retain 1st picks in case we want to hold back any for the future of our program. Those with a waitlist fee placed have the next picks, after that we go to the regular waitlist.

  All of our adults are AKC and have been health tested.
Most of our babies are sold as pets only. Occasionally we will have litters we will offer rights to breed, however, additional references and information are required.

  Puppies are priced after born. AVERAGE is around $3000-$5500. Sometimes a little less or more depending on various factors.

We recently purchased a puppy from Sweet Southern Yorkies. To say we are beyond pleased would be an understatement. Melanie is located in Virginia and we are in Mississippi. We were somewhat anxious about purchasing a puppy from that far away. But, the minute I reached out to her, she responded immediately. She sent photos and videos and was ready to answer any and all questions I had. We ended up having Cooper flown from Virginia with her lap nanny to Memphis, Tn. Her lap nanny, Carla, is AMAZING! We are in love with Cooper, We received a very healthy, sweet, and loving puppy. We could tell right away that this little guy had been receiving a lot of attention. Throughout the whole process we were in constant contact with Melanie. She even reached out after we got home with him to check on him. I cannot say enough good things about Sweet Southern Yorkies! I HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking for a Yorkie puppy. You will not be disappointed! Melanie, you are the best!

We had the BEST experience with Sweet Southern Yorkies! From the very beginning, communication was clear, kind, and professional. You can truly tell how much love and care goes into raising these puppies. Our little boy came home healthy, well socialized, and already comfortable being handled and loved on. He has the most beautiful traditional black and tan markings and the sweetest temperament. It was obvious he was raised in a clean, attentive environment. We were kept updated with photos and information, and every question we had was answered. The entire process felt transparent and trustworthy, which gave us so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a well bred, healthy, and happy Yorkie, I absolutely recommend Sweet Southern Yorkies. We are beyond in love with our little guy! 💙🐾

The addition of Bindi to our family has been a perfect one. I am grateful for the outstanding service provided by Sweet Southern Yorkies. Melanie Coe was so pleasant to deal with, consistently sending updated photos and videos of Bindi. She went above and beyond by hand-delivering Bindi to me at Chicago O’Hare airport. Bindi is a healthy, happy, intelligent puppy, adjusting well to her new home. I am so happy that I found a reputable and professional Yorkshire Terrier breeder with Sweet Southern Yorkies!

Losing my beloved Piper left my heart completely shattered, and I never imagined I would find comfort so quickly—until I connected with Melanie at Sweet Southern Yorkies. From the very first conversation, she was a true godsend. She never pressured me, never pushed—she simply listened, empathized, and held space for my grief in the kindest, most genuine way. When the timing finally felt right and a precious little female became available, Melanie guided me through the entire journey with so much love and care. For the whole three months we waited to bring our babygirl Presli home, she sent constant pictures, videos, and updates—each one filling our home with excitement and healing our hearts a little more. It felt like she was just as invested in Presli’s happiness as we were. Melanie and Kristi at Sweet Southern Yorkies are everything you hope to find in a breeder: kind, honest, attentive, trustworthy, and sincerely passionate about their pups and the families they go to. They provided every resource, supply, and piece of guidance we could have possibly needed to welcome our new little girl home with confidence and joy. Presli is healthy, beautiful, full of personality, and clearly raised with an abundance of love before she ever got to us. I can never thank Sweet Southern Yorkies enough for helping heal my heart and bringing this perfect little soul into our lives. If you’re looking for a breeder who treats you like family and raises their puppies with unmatched love and integrity—Sweet Southern Yorkies is truly one of a kind.

Sweet Southern Yorkies are the best Breeders. They truly go above and beyond for their babies. Once you’ve received a SSY and fall in love with one of the precious Yorkies you are not just an owner you’re a family member and friend for life.

I got my sweet Sassy from Melanie and I can’t say enough about how wonderful an experience it was. She went out of her way to make it so easy on me. My baby is happy, very healthy, Sassy, hence the name . I highly recommend anyone wanting a puppy to check them out.
