Happy families
Joe on life with Riley — a McCoy's Yorkshire Terrier.
Raised with care
McCoy's Michigan Yorkies brings decades of hands-on experience, family attention, and a deep commitment to matching sweet dogs with caring people.
Breeding and raising dogs with generations of practical experience.
Four decades working with American Kennel Club dogs.
Puppies are raised with affection and everyday companionship.
Rescue work, grooming, stud service, and training knowledge.


Our story
Our experience began with Dachshunds, grew through years with English Mastiffs, and eventually led us to the spirited little dogs we raise today: Yorkshire Terriers.
Along the way, we built a life around dogs—breeding, training, grooming, stud service, and rescue.




Happy families
Seeing a Yorkie head home in loving arms is one of the best parts of what we do. Riley's happy send-off with Joe and Sue is a memory we're proud to share.
The couple pictured by their Jeep came back for a second McCoy puppy from a later litter. Both puppies are beloved companions, with no plans for breeding—they were simply so impressed with their first puppy that they wanted another. Two different McCoy families have now done exactly the same thing.
Some love stories start before the puppy even comes home. Janene couldn't wait — so before Hazel was old enough to leave, she came out for a visit. She got to meet both of Hazel's parents, Gemma and Waylon Coal, and hold her tiny girl for the very first time.
We always encourage home visits. Come see your puppy as they're growing up — there's nothing like watching them change week to week before they come home for good.
And now? Hazel's home — 5.5 months old, spoiled rotten, and living her best life. 🐾
Life at McCoy's
A little look at the playtime, puppy piles, mealtimes, and everyday moments that make this home so full of personality.
Puppies
We're hoping for Christmas babies! Gemma and Waylon Coal just bred (October 7). Join the waiting list below.
Waiting list
No puppies are available right now — but more little McCoy Yorkies are on the way! Gemma and Waylon Coal just bred (October 7), and we are hoping for puppies around December 9th.
Leave your name and the best way to reach you, and we will go down the list in order as puppies become ready. Joining the list does not reserve a specific puppy or promise a timeline — it is simply your fair spot in line, and we will talk through everything together when your turn comes.
On the list now

Here’s what happens next
Reach out to Eric and Crystal to talk about the puppies and ask your questions. If the fit feels right, you’ll arrange a time to come meet the puppies at the McCoy home—puppy visits are by appointment.
Call Eric and Crystal to learn about current availability, personality, care, and whether a tiny Yorkie is a good fit for your family.
Choose a time to visit the McCoy home in Hillsdale and spend time with the puppies before making your decision.
Every puppy goes home vet-checked, with shots current, dewclaws removed, tail docked, and an AKC Reunite temperature-sensing microchip.
A deposit reserves a puppy who is not yet old enough to go home. Deposits are non-refundable, with one fair exception: if McCoy’s cannot meet the need you reserved for, your deposit is returned. For example, if you reserve from an unborn litter hoping for a female and no female puppy is born, you receive the deposit back. Call for the details before reserving.
Puppies usually go home at 10–12 weeks. Eric and Crystal choose the safest timing for each family; when a home has larger dogs or small children, they may keep a tiny puppy a little longer so it is stronger and less likely to be hurt. Homecoming is guided by the puppy’s well-being, not just the calendar.
Eric and Crystal can personally deliver your puppy near or far. The new family covers round-trip travel for Eric, Crystal, and the puppy, along with a delivery fee. Call to talk through the destination, timing, and details.
Yorkie know-how
After 40 years with AKC dogs, we know a good match starts with honest expectations. Yorkshire Terriers may be small, but they are bright, involved companions who thrive on attention and patient guidance.
Expect a lively, affectionate little dog with a big personality. Individual puppies differ, which is why we share what we see in each puppy.
The Yorkie's fine coat benefits from regular grooming. Their small size also calls for thoughtful handling, close supervision, and a home prepared for a tiny companion.
We send families home knowing the puppy's current care: shots, dewclaw and tail status, microchip, personality, and expected size. Adult weight is an estimate, not a guarantee.
We keep treats simple: chicken-wrapped sweet potato from A Heart For The Paws, made in Idaho — USA chicken breast hand-wrapped around sweet potato, dehydrated in small batches. Two ingredients, nothing else in the bag. Sweet potato's fiber helps with digestion. Keep treats under 10% of daily food: for a tiny Yorkie that's about half a strip a day — we break ours into smaller pieces for training.
A thoughtful match
Call to ask about current availability, learn more about each puppy, and talk through whether a tiny Yorkie is the right fit for your home.
The Puppy Play Yard
Hundreds of real moments from our home — puppies playing, napping, wrestling toys, and piling up together. Winston will flip you through every single one, with no repeats until you have seen them all.

Puppy pile cam
Nothing beats a heap of sleepy puppies. Turn the sound on — this one comes with the real thing.
Every puppy in the Play Yard was raised right here at home, with 40+ years raising AKC dogs behind them. If you are dreaming of a Yorkie of your own, give us a call — and if you would like to help us keep rescuing the ones who need it most, donations go straight to vet care, food, and supplies.
About McCoy's
Our story runs from a father's AKC Dachshunds, to a son's English Mastiffs, to the Yorkshire Terriers at the heart of our home today.
Second-generation breeder
I grew up around breeding. When I was a child, my dad raised AKC long-haired and short-haired Dachshunds in different colors—before many of those colors were popular. Watching him work taught me that knowing a breed means paying attention to the whole dog: health, temperament, structure, behavior, and the care that happens every day.
My first lessons came at home, alongside my dad and his AKC Dachshunds. That's where the family tradition began.
When I was old enough to move out on my own, I began raising English Mastiffs. Working with such powerful, sensitive dogs deepened my understanding of training, trust, and temperament.
One of the unforgettable ones was Harley—a 225-pound male with a 30-inch neck. I had to buy him a 32-inch horse collar. He drew a crowd everywhere we went: a true gentle giant who also understood exactly what I asked of him.
Then a little Yorkie named Tiger came into my life. He was small enough to ride everywhere with me and had enough personality to begin a whole new chapter.
Across it all, one thread has stayed constant: 40 years working with AKC dogs and a belief that every puppy deserves an experienced start and a family ready to understand the dog in front of them.
The Yorkie chapter begins
I had a friend who was a nurse. She knew a couple who both worked the same 14-hour shift, and they had this little Yorkie named Tiger. Tiger didn't like being left alone for 14 hours, so they did the right thing and found somebody who had more time for him. I had just had back surgery, and they decided I was a good candidate.
So I took him in—and let me tell you, that little dog had such a personality. He was tired of being left at home. He wanted to go everywhere with me, and I mean everywhere. He didn't care if it was on a cigarette boat going 50 miles an hour or on the back of a Harley. He didn't care where we were going; he just wanted to go.
Tiger was a rehomed little dog with a huge personality. He stole my heart, and that's how my Yorkie chapter began.
The foundation of McCoy's
I picked Delilah up from Fargo's Yorkies. To me, if you want an AKC Yorkshire Terrier, Delilah is the perfect Yorkie. She has the perfect hair, the perfect color—just a beautiful, dark-colored little girl who grew to 5.8 pounds.
Her first litter was with a friend's little Yorkie named Harley, who was smaller than she was. After that beginning, I went down to lower Indiana and bought Lennon to become my stud dog. His mother was imported from Ukraine, and his father was a tiny black-haired Yorkie.
Lennon the lover—that's what I call him. He's dual-registered with the AKC and ACA, and he's had more than nine AKC litters. With his most recent litter, the AKC required a DNA test because he'd sired so many. That verification is part of the record behind my little stud. He's about eight and a half years old now.


Lennon and Delilah really built McCoy's Michigan Yorkies. Everything that followed grew from the care, character, and experience they brought into our home.


Saylor Rayne came after Gemma. She's a chocolate AKC Yorkshire Terrier and weighs 5.3 pounds when she isn't pregnant—a loving girl and devoted mama.


Waylon Coal came next: a black-and-white tuxedo AKC Yorkshire Terrier with an adventurous streak. He loves riding on the Harley in his doggles and goes everywhere with Eric and Crystal, no matter what they're doing. He may live for adventure, but he cleans up handsome too.







What matters to us
McCoy's Michigan Yorkies is family oriented and rooted in a broad understanding of dogs. Our work includes breeding, rescue, grooming, stud service, and dog training knowledge.
Every part of that experience shapes the way we care for our Yorkies and talk with future families.

Riley was featured on the October 2024 cover of Michigan Yorkie Monthly, alongside an interview with Susan and Joe.
It's a joyful piece of the McCoy's story—and a handsome cover moment for one special Yorkie.

McCoy's Animal Rescue
Meet the Yorkies whose lives changed through patient care, veterinary support, and the right forever families.
The story comes full circle
We try to save every animal we come across that needs help—and yes, that includes humans.
Lennon and Delilah built McCoy's Michigan Yorkies, and then it became a rescue too. We started rescuing Yorkies to give back to the Yorkie community—the same community that gave me so much when a rehomed little dog named Tiger first came into my life.
It started with taking one dog in. Today, the mission is still led by the dogs: raise them with love, understand the one in front of you, and be there when a Yorkie needs another chance.
Gracie Mae is the only rescue in our home today, and she's permanent family—not adoptable and not going anywhere. The stories below are past happy endings. If you have a Yorkie in need of rescue, please reach out to us.
Our mission: McCoy’s Animal Rescue exists to save every animal we come across that needs help — dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, ducks, geese, turkeys, rabbits, fish, and more — through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption into loving homes.
Every rescue's vet care, food, and supplies come straight out of our own pockets — from full vet workups like Sawyer's to the everyday costs of keeping a rescue comfortable. Your donation goes further than Yorkies: we also rescue ducks, geese, chickens, pigs, rabbits, ferrets, squirrels, parrots, macaws, and any animal that needs a second chance. Know someone with an animal that needs rescuing? Tell them to get a hold of us. Want your donation to go only to the Yorkies? Give through Fieldstone Veterinary Care, or add a note saying it's for the Yorkies.
Ways to help: chip in toward vet bills with PayPal below — or call Fieldstone Veterinary Care in Jonesville at (517) 437-0171, mention McCoy's Michigan Yorkies and rescue, and say you'd like to donate toward our account. Rather send supplies? Beds, blankets, toys, food, treats, and potty pads are always needed — order on Amazon and ship straight to us. Call first and we'll tell you where to send it.
McCoy's Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization — EIN 43-2124704. Donations are tax-deductible.

One gift helps today — a small gift every month keeps the rescue ready for the next call: food in the bowls, vet care covered, and a soft place to land for whatever animal needs us next. Winston’s Pack is our monthly giving circle. Steady small gifts keep the rescue ready.
The button opens our PayPal donation page — that’s where a Winston’s Pack gift starts: set your amount to $5 and choose the monthly option there. Pause or stop anytime. Every gift is tax-deductible.
Support the rescue
Our rescue work is personal — every dog that comes through our door gets fed, vetted, loved, and given a real chance at a good life. McCoy's Animal Rescue sweatshirts, tees, and gear are on the way, and we're working toward a Winston™ plush mascot doll so you can hold a piece of that love. Every purchase helps us say yes to the next animal that needs us.


Want one? Call 419-490-0825 and we will put you on the list.




Rescue spotlight · With us now
Pepper and Little Bit spent their whole lives with one person — an 88-year-old who loved them — and just days ago she passed away. They had nowhere to go. So they came home with us, the way every McCoy’s rescue does.
Pepper is a gentle 14-year-old girl with a silky golden-tan coat. Little Bit is a scruffy, sweet 9-year-old boy whose little tongue pokes out — and everybody who meets him falls for him. Neither of them came with any vet records at all, and both need dental work, all of their shots, blood work, and full senior checkups at Fieldstone Veterinary Care with Dr. Mike before anything else.
Right now they're safe, warm, and loved at our house in Hillsdale — and every merch order and donation helps pay for the care they missed.
Half of all merch profits go straight to Pepper & Little Bit’s care at Fieldstone Veterinary Care — the dental work, shots, blood work, and senior checkups they need.
$150 raised so far — thank you! Victoria gave $100 straight to their account at Fieldstone, and Amy gave $50 on Cash App. We’ll post the full care goal right here as soon as Dr. Mike’s estimate is in on Monday, and keep this bar updated as the fund grows.
Donations are needed now: call Fieldstone, mention McCoy’s Michigan Yorkies and rescue, and your gift goes straight to Pepper & Little Bit’s vet care — no merch required.

Our very first rescue
Gracie Mae is a 13-year-old Yorkie Poo and the first dog we ever rescued. We may have taken her in intending to help her find a home, but Eric and Crystal knew she was already where she belonged.
Gracie Mae will never be rehomed. She still lives here as the grandma of the house, right alongside Delilah.

Our second rescue
Nico came to us with real challenges: potty-training troubles and food aggression. Eric and Crystal worked patiently and consistently with him on both, giving him the structure and understanding he needed to become a different dog.
Once Nico was ready, he went home with a lovely family who loves him very much.



A first dog for five excited kids
Remy came to us when he was about nine months old. His mom called because she was working too much, and that little dog was going stir-crazy in an apartment. We took him in, evaluated him, and found he really didn't need much work. He was already up to date on his shots—he just needed the right home and people with time for him.
We found him a wonderful family with five kids, the oldest around sixteen. Remy was the first dog those kids had ever owned, and they were so excited to meet him. The minute he walked into their house, he started running around and rubbing himself all over the furniture like he was saying, “This is my home now.”
He knew exactly where he was supposed to be—and he's been loved there ever since.

A Hillsdale happy ending
Little Jensen was brought to us by a lady who couldn't take care of him any longer. He had a little club foot, a steel rod in his front leg, and he was very timid. We had him for quite some time, and being around all our other Yorkies, he had no choice but to come out of his shell—and he did.
Jensen was adopted right here in Hillsdale by a wonderful lady who had lots of experience with Yorkies but had never had one that wanted to sit on her lap all the time. Well, she got her lap dog, because that's all Jensen wants to do.
Now they're the best of partners, sitting together to watch the sunrise every morning over coffee. No coffee for Jensen, of course—he gets wound up enough as it is, especially when treats are involved.

Rescue spotlight · Rehomed September 2026
Sawyer was found abandoned in a baseball field, estimated to be eight to ten years old. The person who found him tracked down his owner, but she didn't want him back. He had never been to a veterinarian and came to us with no papers, history, or trail to follow.
We took Sawyer to Fieldstone Veterinarian in Jonesville, where Dr. Mike helped us give him the care he'd missed. Sawyer was neutered, received a full round of vaccinations including rabies, and had every painful tooth extracted. He has no teeth now and will eat soft food for life, but he can live a normal, comfortable life.
Today, Sawyer is home with a wonderful older couple who love him the way he always should have been loved.
