About Us:
We are the Joe and Connie Gerst family. We have lived in East-Central
Iowa for over 30 years and are pleased to bring the area the finest available Yorkshire Terrier puppies. When you come to see us and our puppies, you may meet “Pippi,” our Yorkie who will properly welcome you in the typical terrier fashion and then stand guard by her beloved master, Joe. “Chin-Chin,” our ShihTzu who was with us for over 14 years, has now went to her “happy hunting ground.” She is missed by all of us.
“
Prince Ebony James,” a Yorkie-Poo, will give you a warm welcome as you come through the door…unless his master doesn’t pick him up first! On October 14th, 2011 he turned 5 years old, and is still full of fun! Ebby follows Ruth, our daughter, around and absolutely adores her!
How it All Started:
Joe and Connie Gerst started Knapp Creek Acres beginning with just a pair of Bassets, “Frank” and “Frannie.” We quickly fell in love with the dogs and in 1995, Yorkies came into the picture. Yorkies are
now our specialty and the only breed we raise.
Professionalism at Knapp Creek:
Knapp Creek Acres is a family run facility, each doing his or her part to keep every dog healthy and happy. It is our mission to raise quality Yorkshire Terrier puppies using the highest breeding standards.
We are members of the following organizations:
Our Facility:
The nursery is a quiet, warm place where our moms give birth to their babies. It is much like a little hospital, equipped with incubators to keep puppies warm when they need special attention. Each mother is given individual attention each day to ensure she is in optimum health and her babies are doing
well. Our adult moms and dads are housed in the next room where they receive daily care and attention. We hope all our customers will be understanding of the crucial reasons we do not give inside tours of our facility. We do everything possible to protect our breeding dogs and their puppies from harmful diseases and we also strive to provide a calm atmosphere for our nursing moms and their offspring.
