Where Heritage Meets Heart
For forty years, IRMADU Yorkies has been a name synonymous with quality, integrity and an unwavering devotion to the Yorkshire Terrier. What began as a single beloved companion has grown into one of South Africa's most respected breeding programmes — yet remains, at its heart, a family kennel.
We breed selectively and ethically, with champion bloodlines, rigorous health testing, and puppies raised underfoot in our home. Every IRMADU Yorkie is a testament to four decades of passion for this remarkable breed.

We breed selectively and ethically, prioritising health, temperament and the preservation of correct breed type above all else.

Decades of carefully curated genetics from champion local and imported lines produce Yorkies of outstanding quality.
Lifetime Support
An IRMADU puppy is a lifetime relationship. We remain available to our families for guidance, for the whole life of the dog.
