Retired Adults
Well-Loved Companions, Carefully Placed
At Essence of Grace Yorkies, we occasionally have one of our cherished adult dogs ready to transition into a new forever home after their time in our program. These dogs are not rescues or retired from neglect—they were raised in our home, loved daily, and have played an important role in our breeding and showing journey.
We believe these dogs deserve to enjoy their golden years in a peaceful, low-stress environment where they can soak up one-on-one attention.
Why Consider a Retired Adult?
Welcoming a retired Yorkie into your home is a wonderful alternative to starting from scratch with a puppy. These dogs offer:
Established Training – Most are crate-trained, leash-trained, and either fully house-trained or pad trained
Calmer Temperaments – Adults tend to be more mellow and predictable than puppies
Spay/Neuter & Dental Care Included – We ensure each dog is spayed or neutered and receives a professional dental cleaning before placement
Loyal Companionship – These dogs are loving, well-socialized, and accustomed to a family lifestyle
Carefully Matched Placements
We don’t place retired adults often—perhaps once every few years. Each dog is unique, and our priority is finding the right fit for their next chapter. This is not a guardianship or foster situation. The dog will be placed permanently in your care, with continued support from us as needed.

AKC CH Denstail Dita Fon Diz “Sasha”
AKC Champion | Imported from Russia | Est. Placement: 2026
Sasha is our stunning 6.5 lb AKC Champion female imported from Russia in 2020 as the second foundation female for our show and breeding program. She is currently 4.5 years old. She has contributed beautifully to our lines and still has 1–2 litters planned before her retirement in 2026. We are now beginning the process of finding the perfect home for her future placement.
Key Details:
Color: Blue & Tan (Traditional)
Weight: ~6.5 lbs
Tail: Natural (not docked)
Dewclaws: Intact
Training: Leash trained, pad trained, and outdoor potty trained
Health Testing: Embark genetically clear, OFA eyes certified
Lifestyle: Accustomed to walks, light activity, and being brushed weekly
Personality: Calm, independent, affectionate, and confident
Special Traits: Loves being brushed, handled, and groomed—she’ll even ask for it!
Placement Notes:
Sasha is best suited to a home without other dogs or small children
She prefers to sleep alone on a dog bed rather than with people or other pets
She enjoys spending time outside and will sometimes bark at yard noises (we actively discourage this)
She will be placed spayed, microchipped, and with teeth professionally cleaned
Includes AKC registration paperwork and lifetime breeder support
We are looking for a special home who understands that her retirement depends on nature—Sasha’s placement is anticipated in 2026, but her exact go-home date will depend on her remaining heat cycles and when her final litter is born. We hope to keep back one or two puppies from her to carry on her legacy.
If you’re interested in Sasha, please reach out now to be considered. Her placement will be carefully planned in advance.
Placement Fee: $1,000
How Our Placement Process Works
Because these dogs are so special to us, we have a thoughtful process to ensure a great fit:
Application Form – Tell us about your lifestyle, preferences, and home
Video Interview – We’ll get to know you and ensure compatibility
Pre-Placement Match – If approved, you’ll be contacted as the timing approaches
Lifetime Support – We’ll stay in touch and remain available for questions
This is not a first-come, first-served process. We’re looking for the right match, not the fastest one.
