Lauren Kirkham of West Haven, Utah isn’t your average Yorkie mom. She doesn’t have just one Yorkie. In fact, she has 10!
“Yorkies are kind of like potato chips,” Kirkham said. “You can’t just have one. So I just kind of started adding one, and then another and another.”
Kirkham puts her love of Yorkies on full display on her Instagram page “The Utah Yorkies.” The page started in 2017, but it was not actively being posted on until 2024.
So how does someone get all the way up to 10 Yorkies? It stated with her first Yorkie, Holly.
“I got her when I moved here for college,” Kirkham said with Holly on her lap during her interview with Fox 13 Salt Lake City. “I had always wanted a Yorkie when I was a little girl, and finally got the dog of my dreams. My collection from her kind of just grew because you can’t just have one. After all, she was just a little angel.”
She has Yorkies ranging from age 2 to 12 named Logan, Heidi, Hazel, Hope, Lacey, Hannah, Harper, Everett, Bennett, Holly, and also has a rescue miniature Schnauzer Hunny.
