Parquins Artistaclly Bred Yorkshire Terriers

Welcome To My Elegant Paws ~ Beautiful Northern California

We Sell Puppies for Elegant Pets and Show Prospects.

My Elegant Paws started under the Strict Guidance of my Dear friend and Mentor Mr Raymond Antonucci, to Guide me in to becoming the West Coast Breeder of his Authentic 100% Artistically bred PARQUIN Yorkshire Terriers. Multi World Champions of 50 years. High Stationed, Well Balanced and Graceful Movement.

My Elegant Paws was created by Raymond Antonucci, Myself and Web Designer Cyber Creations by Michael. I was to breed Strictly Parquins, but incorporating other lines At Raymond's approval to create my own signature. Some of these Prestigious lines are Rothby, Clarkwyn, Durrer Parkside, Cantolon, Exmoor, Windwood, Pastoral, Higgins, Stratford, Devils of York, California Wild, And Silver Speed, to name a few.

Artisticaly Bred Parquins Yorkshire TerriersOur Mission is to continue with Raymond's Magnificent line of Parquins keeping his Legacy and Dream alive. All Material was provided by Raymond Himself as well as verbiage, (in case you have seen copy cats using similar verbiage, pictures and ideas) Parquins Inc. And My Elegant Paws are the ONLY two Authentic Parquin web sites authorized by Raymond. In fact my web Designer Cyber Creations by Michael was to give Raymond's website a Face Lift as he called it, before his untimely death.

Raymond being an Artist and my MENTOR was a Genius, he taught me so much. We had such Magnificent plans and endeavors and dreams for My Elegant Paws before he was so sadly taken away. He was much apposed to breeding several different Breeds, looking like a puppy mill situation. He always said (Stick to Your Guns) As well as NEVER Prostituting his line of Yorkshires, Keeping it Pure and ill of Volume. He was very select who received his Breathtaking Beauties, that he carefully line bred these (NON COMMERCIAL) lines. I received all my stock from Raymond himself not a 2nd or 3rd Party. His lines have been Exported to many Countries, such as Italy, France Thailand,Germany, Sweden, Russia, Indonesia, and owned by celebrities as well as Royalty.

One thing Raymond despised were unfortunates, who created "Bad Press" towards a Company or Individual, who thrive and got their jollies off from hurting and destroying a person or companies reputation by making bad press. He referred to them as "Nut Cases" or' Drama Queens". Sad but true, these unfortunates exist and have nothing better to do than lie and try to deceive the public for their own demented personal gain. Remember, there are 2 sides to every story, When in doubt, call The BBB (The Better Business Bureau).

Please let me  reiterate. All material was selected by Raymond himself. Raymond you are so sadly missed, I hope to make you proud and adhere to your every wish keeping your Legacy and Dream alive and to continue Forward Raising your Breathtaking Magnificent Gorgeous Beauties with their Steele Blue Coats, Tiny "Never Tied" Working Ears, Razor Bites, and Amazing Temperaments. My Dear Friend and Mentor Thank you, with all My Heart giving me My Start, and teaching me so much about this Amazing Breed. Your Legacy and Dream will stay alive with in My Elegant Paws, (as you are quoted to say) "THE BEST IN THE WEST"

CEDE Higgins

His Handler Marlene Lutovsky wore a red dress, and CEDE Higgens, a Red Bow with White Poka dots. Anne Rodgers Clark one of the most famous dog show judges of all times. As quoted by Mr. Raymond Antonucci Gave CEDE Higgens best in Show and said CEDE Higgens Showed his Heart out weighing in at 5lbs. Mr. Raymond Antonucci raved about CEDE Higgens and encouraged me to add these bloodlines to My Elegant Paws before his passing and breed his top lines with these Elegant females.
