Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Arlington, VA
Find Out Why We Love Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies, have a special place in our hearts at The Puppy House. The breed's long, silky coat is beautiful and sheds very little, so Yorkies are often recommended for people with allergies. Yorkies usually weigh no more than 7 pounds, yet they have a big-dog attitude that can be both feisty and bossy. But what most people love is their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family. Their love of snuggling and staying close all the time is the icing on the cake. They settle into most family homes with ease. There are very few responsible breeders across the country, so finding reputable Yorkie breeders in the Arlington, Virginia area can be difficult. This is why we're proud to make our carefully bred Yorkie puppies available to families in Arlington. We want every family to have access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can depend on.

Why Our Puppies Stand Out
At The Puppy House, we do things the right way when it comes to breeding and raising Yorkies. We go well beyond the basic standards. Our adult dogs are all genetically tested and come from strong bloodlines known for great temperaments. Each of our dogs is well cared for and has lots of room to play and be social.
Every puppy receives Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), which is a series of gentle handling exercises done in the first few weeks of life. Another important step is socialization, which lays the groundwork for good behavior and habits as they grow. In our backyard, the puppies play and explore with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. It's great socialization, and they get lots of exercise along the way.
If it works for you, we invite you to visit and pick out your puppy in person. That way, you can see our home and our dogs for yourself and meet us face to face. We take placing our Yorkies seriously, since to us it's more than a one-time sale. We love building new friendships, keeping in touch, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes.
Each puppy has their first round of vaccinations and a full veterinary exam before going home. You can be sure you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to become part of your family.
How Your Yorkie Gets to Arlington, Virginia: Delivery, Nanny, or Pickup
Home delivery by ground
A pet transport service drives the puppy door to door in a climate controlled van, with an individual carrier, a veterinary check before departure, and updates along the way. Virginia falls in our regional tier, so the fee is a flat $350 to any address in the state, so nothing changes between Arlington and , including and Washington DC, or for any other stop in Arlington County. Vans leave Sugarcreek on Tuesdays. Because the state sits on the eastern side of the route, most Virginia deliveries land the next day, and almost all families have the puppy in hand inside about three days of departure. This is the option most people pick.
Picking up at the farm
Driving to Sugarcreek yourself works well for a good share of the state. Arlington is 266 miles out, which is 4 to 6 hours each way. Four or five hours is an easy day. Seven or eight is a long one in the car with a young puppy. Visits are by appointment, and you get to see the parents, walk the property, and go through the health records and microchip paperwork in person.
Flight nanny
A handler carries the puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight, never in cargo, and hands it over at baggage claim. Most are complete the day they start. The airline limit is 20 pounds including the carrier, so a Yorkshire Terrier at four to seven pounds has room to spare, and the soft carrier fits under the seat with no trouble. Health certificates are arranged on our end before travel. Common arrival airports for Arlington families are Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and Washington Dulles International Airport. Flight nanny is quoted per flight and costs more than ground, and it's the better answer when you want the puppy fast or a weekend drive is out of the question.
What we would suggest
If 4 to 6 hours each way is a manageable day trip for you, pickup is worth doing when your schedule allows. If it isn't, ground delivery is the sensible pick, and at $350 it saves the whole round trip. Walk the puppy on a harness rather than a collar from the first trip to the car, since pressure on a Yorkie's throat is the one contributing factor to collapsing trachea that owners can control.
