Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Baton Rouge, LA
Discover What We Love About Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, or Yorkies for short, 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 typically weigh 7 pounds or less, but they have a big-dog attitude that can be 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 up and staying by your side is the icing on the cake. They adjust easily to life with most families. Finding a trustworthy Yorkie breeder in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area isn't easy, since there are so few responsible breeders across the country. That's why we're so proud to offer our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in Baton Rouge. We want every family to find a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

Why You'll Love Our Puppies
Here at The Puppy House, we breed and raise our Yorkies the right way. We expect much more from ourselves than the basics. All of our adult dogs have been genetically tested, and each comes from strong bloodlines known for great temperaments. Our dogs get great care and plenty of room to play and socialize.
Every puppy goes through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a series of gentle handling exercises done in the first few weeks of life. Socialization is another key step, and it lays the groundwork for good behavior and habits as they grow. The puppies get to play and explore in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. It's great for their social skills, and it gives them plenty of exercise too.
Feel free to visit us and pick out your puppy in person if you can. This way, you can see our home and our dogs and meet us face to face. We don't take placing our Yorkies lightly, and 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.
Before going home, each puppy receives their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam. You can rest assured that you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to be part of your family.
Yorkie Puppy Delivery to Baton Rouge, Louisiana: Costs and Timing
Ground transport to your door
Baton Rouge families pick this one more than any other. A professional pet transport service drives the puppy door to door in a custom climate controlled van, with an individual carrier, a veterinary check before departure, and updates from the road. Transport leaves Sugarcreek on Tuesdays. Louisiana falls in our national delivery tier at a flat $450, and because the Deep South is at the end of the route, with Baton Rouge 875 miles from the farm, plan on two to three days from departure rather than the next day service the East Coast gets. The van that comes to Baton Rouge also stops in , including Prairieville LA, Central LA, Gardere LA, Merrydale LA, Oak Hills Place LA, Addis LA, Plaquemine LA, Inniswold LA, Port Allen LA, New Roads LA, Westminster LA, Brusly LA, Erwinville LA, St. Francisville LA, Livonia LA, Maringouin LA, Fordoche LA, Crescent LA, Ventress LA, Rosedale LA, Grosse Tete LA, and Morganza LA, and the fee is the same anywhere in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Flight nanny
A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight, in an airline approved soft carrier under the seat, and never in cargo. Handoff happens at baggage claim, usually the same day. For Baton Rouge, we would fly the puppy into Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, and Lafayette Regional Airport. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old, under twenty pounds with the carrier, which no Yorkie comes close to, and traveling with a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. Flight nanny is quoted per flight and costs more than ground, and everyone involved needs some flexibility if weather pushes a departure.
Picking up at the farm
Come to Sugarcreek by appointment and take the puppy home yourself. It's 17 to 19 hours each way from Baton Rouge, so this is the least common choice, but a few families build it into a trip north. You get to see where the puppy was raised, go over the vaccination records, microchip registration, and health guarantee at the kitchen table, and leave with a small bag of the food the puppy has been eating, a toy, and a blanket that smells like the litter.
What we usually suggest
Ground transport is the sensible pick for nearly every Louisiana address, Baton Rouge included. It's the cheaper of the two long distance options, it ends at your front door instead of an airport curb, and a Yorkie travels well in a van with a driver who stops on a schedule. Families who want the puppy home in a single day often go with a flight nanny instead. One breed note worth knowing either way: young Yorkies can drop their blood sugar after a stressful stretch or a missed meal, so transport keeps them on small frequent feedings the whole way, and we ask you to do the same for the first few months.
