Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Cedar Rapids, IA
See Why We're Crazy About Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, better known as Yorkies, have a special place in our hearts here at The Puppy House. This breed's gorgeous, long, silky coat sheds very little, so it's often suggested for people with allergies. Even though most Yorkies weigh 7 pounds or less, they often act like big dogs, with an attitude that can be feisty and bossy. But what really wins people over is their sweet nature and the close bond they build with their family. Their love of snuggling up and staying by your side is the icing on the cake. They settle into most family homes with ease. Since there are so few responsible breeders across the country, finding reputable Yorkie breeders in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area can be challenging. This is exactly why we take great pride in offering our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in Cedar Rapids. We want every family to have access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

Why Families Love Our Puppies
At The Puppy House, breeding and raising Yorkies the right way is what we do. We aim much higher than the basics. All of our adult dogs come from strong bloodlines known for great temperaments, and every one is genetically tested. Every dog here is well cared for and has lots of room to play and socialize.
In the first few weeks of life, every puppy goes through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a series of gentle handling exercises. Socialization is another important step in helping our puppies develop good behavior and habits as they grow. Our puppies get to play and explore in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. It's great socialization, and it keeps them active too.
You're invited to visit us and choose your puppy in person if you can. That gives you the chance to see our home and our dogs and meet us face to face. We take placing our Yorkies seriously, and we see it as much more than a one-time sale. We love making new friends and staying in touch as our pups grow up in loving homes.
Before your puppy comes home, they receive their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam. You can trust that you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to be part of your family.
How Your Yorkie Puppy Travels to Cedar Rapids, Iowa: Fees and Timing
Home delivery by ground
Cedar Rapids families choose this more often than anything else, and we would suggest it first. A professional 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. Most families across the country have their puppy in hand within about three days of departure. Iowa is on the shorter side of that since the route runs west along the interstate corridor rather than across the country. Cedar Rapids sits 530 miles into that run, and the driver works through , including Marion IA, Hiawatha IA, Vinton IA, Robins IA, Fairfax IA, Center Point IA, Marengo IA, Ely IA, Atkins IA, Urbana IA, Walford IA, Palo IA, Swisher IA, Shellsburg IA, Newhall IA, Walker IA, Middle Amana IA, Shueyville IA, Blairstown IA, Van Horne IA, and Norway IA on the same pass, along with any other Linn County address. Cost is a flat $450 for the state, and no airport trip is involved.
Flight nanny
A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight and hands it over at baggage claim, never in cargo. Most of these are same day. From Cedar Rapids, families usually meet the flight at The Eastern Iowa Airport, and Waterloo Regional Airport, and because there's no direct route from our corner of Ohio you should plan on a connection. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old, under 20 pounds including the carrier, and traveling with a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. A Yorkshire Terrier clears the weight limit with room to spare at four to seven pounds, so the carrier is comfortable rather than tight. Flight nanny costs more than ground and gets quoted per flight, and weather delays are part of the deal.
Pickup in Sugarcreek
You're welcome to come get the puppy yourself by appointment. Cedar Rapids is 10 to 12 hours out, so this is a full weekend rather than a day trip, but some families want to see where the puppy was raised and go over the records, microchip registration and guarantee in person. If you're making the drive anyway, that's the best version of the handoff.
Travel comes with one breed specific caution. Very young toy puppies can drop their blood sugar after a stressful stretch or a missed meal, so whichever method you pick, plan on small frequent meals for the first few days at home and keep the first evening quiet. Call or text us at (330) 275-4443 and we'll talk through which option makes sense for Cedar Rapids.
