Vonda (Johnson) Carlton is the proud owner of Yorkieville. It is located at 212 Hillcrest and has many furry residents.  All of the dogs are registered with the America Kennel Club.  It is a registry of purebred dog pedigrees in the Untied States.

  Vonda says her love for the Yorkshire Terrier breed started 18 years ago.  She named her first Yorkie “Pixie”.   Vonda began breeding Yorkshire Terriers and soon realized she needed to build them their own home.  Her husband Don, helped her design and create a blueprint for the “perfect” home for her Yorkies.  Don built the entire kennel himself.  Yorkieville has a living room, utility room,  kitchen, grooming area, photo studio, nursery and an office.  Vonda is very proud of her kitchen knobs.  They are actually pictures of some of her past Yorkie puppies. Yorkieville  feels more like a home environment than a dog kennel. Each dog has their own bed and outdoor run.  Their sleeping area is climate controlled to keep them comfortable.  Yorkieville has their very own website “vondasyorkieville.com”. Vonda states that the majority of her sells come from people finding her through the internet.   She photographs her puppies in her studio and updates her website every week.  She prefers you pick your puppy up in person.  It is less stressful for the puppy and she gets the chance to meet you.

  If you are interested in a puppy, she has a variety of sizes, colors and body shapes of Yorkies.   You can contact her at  618-889-1010.  Her email is vondacarlton@yahoo.com.  

  Being centrally located in Southern Illinois she has proud customers from Western Kentucky, South East Missouri, Southern Indiana and North Tennessee.
