About Marie Roberts and Liberty Star Yorkies

I am Marie Roberts, the dedicated owner of Liberty Star Yorkies, have spent years perfecting my approach to breeding and raising Yorkshire Terriers, commonly known as Yorkies. My commitment goes beyond simply breeding dogs; I passionately ensure that each puppy is raised in a loving home environment, receiving daily attention, high-quality nutrition, and socialization that sets them up for a lifetime of happiness.

Yorkshire Terriers, or Yorkies, are among the most beloved toy dog breeds, cherished for their adorable looks, bold personalities, and unwavering loyalty. Yorkshire Terriers originated in 19th-century Yorkshire, England, and developed from a mix of terrier breeds such as the Skye Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and Manchester Terrier. Originally bred as working dogs to catch rats in mills and factories, their charming appearance quickly made them popular pets. By the late 1800s, Yorkies made their way to the United States, where their popularity soared. Today, Yorkies are celebrated worldwide, ranking among the top toy breeds for their blend of beauty, brains, and boldness.

Don’t let their small size fool you—Yorkies are bursting with personality! Known for their feisty, energetic, and confident nature, Yorkies make excellent watchdogs, fearlessly alerting their owners to anything amiss. They are deeply loyal and form strong bonds with their families, often becoming little shadows that follow their owners from room to room. However, their spirited temperament means they can be quite demanding, needing lots of attention and mental stimulation.
