Welcome to Southern Charm Precious Paws

Southern Charm Precious Paws
At Southern Charm Precious Paws, we proudly breed high-quality AKC & CKC Yorkshire Terriers & Morkies with a focus on health, temperament, and beautiful, & all color lines.
About us
It all began with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion. As a small business, we pride ourselves on personal attention and dedication to every detail. Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence.
Our mission
At Southern Charm Precious Paws, our mission is simple: to provide loving families with exceptional Yorkie and Morkie companions that bring joy, loyalty, and friendship for years to come. We prioritize health, temperament, and breed standards in everything we do.
Health & quality you can trust
We believe strong foundations start with excellent health. All of our breeding dogs receive comprehensive health screening, up-to-date vaccinations, regular veterinary care, and genetic testing when applicable. Every puppy goes home with a detailed health record and care guide, so you and your new companion get the best start.
At Southern Charm Precious Paws, the health and well-being of our puppies is our highest priority. We are committed to responsible breeding practices and stand behind every puppy we place with a clear and ethical health guarantee designed to give families confidence and peace of mind.
Our Commitment to Health
Before joining their new families, each puppy receives:
- A comprehensive veterinary health examination
- Age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming
- A complete health record outlining care and treatments
- Careful monitoring of growth, development, and temperament
We believe that a strong start in life sets the foundation for a healthy future.
DNA Testing & Responsible Breeding
We utilize DNA testing in our breeding program to help ensure the long-term health of our lines. This allows us to:
- Screen for inheritable genetic conditions
- Make informed and responsible breeding decisions
- Reduce the risk of passing on preventable health concerns
- Provide transparency and confidence to our families
While no breeder can promise that a puppy will never face a health issue, DNA testing allows us to breed with intention—not chance—giving every puppy the best possible opportunity for a healthy life.
What Our Health Guarantee Covers
Our health guarantee provides protection against serious congenital and genetic conditions identified within the specified time frame outlined in our agreement. If a covered condition is diagnosed, we work closely with the family to determine the most appropriate resolution—always placing the puppy’s well-being first.
Lifelong Support
Our responsibility does not end when a puppy goes home. We remain available to every family for guidance, support, and care advice throughout the life of their dog. Whether it’s a simple question or a health concern, families are never alone.
Our Promise
At Southern Charm Precious Paws, our promise is simple:
to raise puppies with integrity, place them with care, and stand behind them with honesty and compassion.
When you choose one of our Yorkies or Morkies, you are not just bringing home a puppy—you are gaining a breeder who truly cares, for life.
Well-socialized
At Southern Charm Precious Paws, when we say our puppies are well socialized, we mean far more than simply being friendly. Socialization is the foundation of a confident, emotionally healthy dog, and it begins in the very first weeks of life.
Our Approach
Our puppies are raised in a real home environment, not isolated or kennel-raised. From day one, they learn how to feel safe and comfortable in everyday life.
Being well socialized means our puppies are:
- Comfortable with people of all ages and gentle handling
- Familiar with normal household sounds and routines
- Used to being touched, held, brushed, and cuddled
- Confident exploring new spaces and experiences
Why It Matters
Proper socialization helps puppies grow into dogs who are:
- Calm and confident in new environments
- Less fearful of change
- Easier to train
- More adaptable to family life
- Better with children, visitors, and other pets
This early foundation allows each puppy to transition into their new home with less stress and greater confidence.
Our Promise
When a puppy leaves Southern Charm Precious Paws, they are not only healthy — they are emotionally prepared for life as a cherished family companion.
That is what “well socialized” truly means to us:
a puppy who feels safe, secure, and ready to love their new family.
Southern Charm Precious Paws is a family-owned breeding program devoted to raising healthy, happy, and well-socialized Yorkies and Morkies. With a love for small-breed excellence and true Southern hospitality, every puppy is raised in a nurturing home environment where they are treated like family from day one.
Meet Jeri Moody
With over 15 years of experience, Jeri turned her lifelong love for Yorkies into a purposeful breeding program after being inspired by her sister-in-law. About 13 years ago, she added Morkies and quickly fell in love with the special magic of the Maltese–Yorkie combination—sweet, gentle, loyal, and full of personality. Jeri adores all Yorkies, with a special place in her heart for Parti Yorkies, and believes every puppy deserves not just a home, but a forever family.
Meet Miranda
My journey began 18 years ago with my first Yorkie, Bam Bam. What started as love quickly became a passion for the breed and a commitment to raising puppies that are healthy, confident, and deeply loved. Every puppy I raise carries a piece of that original love and legacy.
Our Story
About eight years ago, Jeri and I met—and what began as a breeder-buyer relationship became a true partnership rooted in friendship, learning, and a shared love for Yorkies and Morkies. Together, we continue to grow, support one another, and put heart first in everything we do.
Our Breeding Philosophy — Led by Miranda & Jeri
At Southern Charm Precious Paws, breeding is more than producing puppies — it is about building strong foundations for a lifetime of companionship. Miranda and Jeri share a hands-on, heart-driven approach rooted in three core values:
health, temperament, and purpose-driven pairing.
Every breeding decision is made with intention. Together, they carefully evaluate each pairing for structure, personality, and genetic compatibility to ensure every puppy is not only beautiful, but emotionally balanced and well-suited for family life.
What truly sets Miranda and Jeri apart is their personal involvement from day one. Puppies are raised in a loving home environment — never as numbers, always as individuals. Each puppy receives daily handling, early socialization, and consistent routines that prepare them for confident transitions into their forever homes.
With Jeri’s years of experience and Miranda’s deep commitment to hands-on care and relationship-building, their partnership creates a program built on both knowledge and heart. They believe great breeders do not simply place puppies — they build lifelong connections with the families who welcome them home.
To Miranda and Jeri, breeding is a responsibility, a privilege, and a promise:
to raise puppies who are healthy in body, confident in spirit, and surrounded by love from their very first day.
That love is the foundation of Southern Charm Precious Paws.

Don't just take our word for it! Read what our wonderful adoptive families have to say about their experiences with Southern Charm Precious Paws and the joy their new furry friends have brought into their lives.
"Miranda, has been absolutely amazing throughout the process. From the first day we decided to get our sweet boy, Kirby, she sent us pictures and updates on a daily basis. Kirby came to us well socialized, very healthy and he is trained to go on his puppy pads. She is wonderful with all of her dogs and they are loved and well taken care of. I would 100% recommend getting a puppy from her. I would give more than 5 stars if I could." Christy Mitchell
