The Kennel
Hidaway Kennel is an extremely small kennel which allows for all the personal attention each yorkie needs and deserves. The kennel is located in rural Tennessee, just 10 miles north of Chattanooga, and 110 miles north of Atlanta. The brand new house with attached kennel room is located on an acre and a half with various fenced yards for the dogs to play and exercise.
Puppies born at Hidaway Kennel are raised in Heidi's bedroom which allows for round the clock care required of newborn puppies. As the puppies grow they are moved into the mainstream of the house where they are exposed to many of the daily noises of an operating household in addition to a lot of TLC from every member of the family. This ensures that you receive a well adjusted puppy as a new member to your family.
