Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Columbia, MO
See Why We Love Yorkshire Terriers
At The Puppy House, Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies, are a breed that's very dear to us. People with allergies are often pointed toward Yorkies, since their beautiful, long, silky coat sheds very little. Don't let their size fool you. Yorkies typically weigh 7 pounds or less, but they have a feisty, bossy, big-dog attitude. Yet what really wins people over is their sweet disposition and the deep bond they form with their family. To top it off, they love to cuddle and stay close all the time. They fit easily into most families. Given how few responsible breeders there are across the country, finding reputable Yorkie breeders in the Columbia, Missouri area can be difficult. That's why we're proud to offer families in Columbia our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies. Our hope is that every family can have a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

See What Sets Our Yorkie Puppies Apart
At The Puppy House, we care about breeding and raising Yorkies the right way. We go above and beyond 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.
Each puppy goes through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a series of gentle handling exercises done in the first few weeks of life. Socialization is another important step that lays the groundwork for good behavior and habits as our puppies grow. Playtime happens in the backyard, where our puppies explore with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. It's great socialization, and it's good exercise for them too.
You're invited to visit us and choose your puppy in person if you can. This gives you a chance to see our home and our dogs and meet us face to face. Placing our Yorkies in new homes is something we take seriously, and it's more than a one-time sale for us. Our favorite part is making new friends, keeping in touch, and watching 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.
Bringing a Puppy Home to Columbia, Missouri: Costs and Travel Times
Pickup in Sugarcreek
You're welcome to come get the puppy yourself, by appointment, at 559 Pleasant Valley Road NW in Sugarcreek. For a family in Columbia that means 578 miles and 11 to 13 hours in each direction, so it's a comfortable overnight at best and a hard drive to justify at worst. You get to see the kennel space, meet the parents where possible, and go over the microchip registration and the guarantee at the kitchen table. Most Missouri families pick one of the other two options.
Ground Home Delivery
Ground transport is what most Missouri families choose. A pet transport service drives the puppy door to door in a climate controlled van, in an individual carrier, with a veterinary check before departure and updates along the way. Missouri falls in the national delivery tier at a flat $450, and that covers the whole state, Columbia and , including Jefferson City MO, Sedalia MO, Moberly MO, Mexico MO, Boonville MO, Macon MO, Centralia MO, Ashland MO, Fayette MO, Marceline MO, Hallsville MO, Salisbury MO, Huntsville MO, Paris MO, Glasgow MO, New Franklin MO, Auxvasse MO, Sturgeon MO, Keytesville MO, Clarence MO, Bevier MO, Bucklin MO, and Higbee MO included. Transport leaves on Tuesdays, and most families have the puppy in their arms within about three days of departure. Nobody in Boone County has to drive to an airport.
Flight Nanny
A flight nanny costs more and is quoted per flight, but it usually finishes in one day. The handler keeps the puppy in the cabin under the seat, never in cargo, and the handoff happens at baggage claim. For Columbia, the airports that take these flights are Columbia Regional Airport, and Kirksville Regional Airport. The puppy has to be at least eight weeks old, under 20 pounds including the carrier, and carrying a health certificate from a licensed vet. A Yorkie clears that limit easily.
Which One We Would Suggest
For Columbia we point families toward ground delivery. At $450 flat it costs less than a flight for a single puppy, the door to door handoff skips the airport entirely, and a Midwest route means the puppy is not on the road nearly as long as one heading to the coast. Families in a hurry are the ones who get the most out of a flight nanny, since a same day arrival beats waiting on the van. One thing worth knowing about this breed in transit is blood sugar. Very small puppies need small meals often, and the handlers feed on a schedule for that reason rather than waiting for a rest stop.
