Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Lakewood, WA
See Why We Love Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies, have a special place in our hearts at The Puppy House. Yorkies have a beautiful, long, silky coat that sheds very little, and they're often suggested 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 at heart, Yorkies win people over with their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family. As a bonus, they love to cuddle and stay close all the time. They tend to fit right in with most families. Because responsible breeders are so rare across the country, finding a reputable Yorkie breeder in the Lakewood, Washington area can be tough. That's why we take great pride in making our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies available to families in Lakewood. We believe every family deserves access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.
Our Available Yorkie Puppies In Lakewood
Why Our Puppies Are a Cut Above
At The Puppy House, we do things the right way when it comes to breeding and raising Yorkies. We hold our program to standards well beyond the basics. All of our adult dogs are genetically tested and come from strong bloodlines known for their great temperaments. Each of our dogs is well cared for and has lots of room to play and be social.
Every puppy takes part in 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. Our puppies play and explore outside in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. It's great socialization, plus it gives them plenty of exercise.
If you can, we invite you to visit us and pick out your puppy in person. You'll be able to look around our home, see our dogs, and meet us face to face. We're careful about placing our Yorkies, and for us it's always more than a one-time sale. We enjoy gaining new friends, keeping in touch, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes.
Before going home, each puppy is given 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.
Puppy Delivery to Lakewood, Washington: Flight Nanny, Ground Transport, and Farm Pickup
Flight nanny. Almost every Washington family gets this recommendation from us, and Lakewood is no exception. A trained handler carries the puppy in an airline approved soft carrier under the seat beside them, never in cargo, and hands the puppy over at baggage claim. Same day arrival is the norm. Families in Pierce County fly puppies into Tacoma Narrows Airport, and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old, under 20 pounds including the carrier, which no Yorkie comes close to, and travel with a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. Flight nanny costs more than ground transport and is quoted per flight, since the price follows the airfare.
Ground transport. A professional 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. The flat fee to Washington is $450, in Lakewood and in , including University Place WA, Fort Lewis WA, DuPont WA, North Fort Lewis WA, and McChord AFB WA alike. Transport leaves Ohio on Tuesdays, and the drive to Lakewood is 2065 miles, so plan on two to three days on the road. It costs less than flying and skips the airport trip entirely, which some families prefer even at the longer travel time.
Farm pickup. Collecting the puppy here yourself is welcome, by appointment. It's 40 to 42 hours one way from Lakewood, but a few families build it into a wider drive or a visit with relatives. Coming here means meeting the puppy where it grew up and going through the health records, microchip registration, and guarantee in person.
Feed small meals often for the first few days after arrival. Toy breed puppies can drop their blood sugar after a long travel day, and frequent little meals are the simple prevention. Whichever method suits you, we settle the timing and the fee on the phone rather than at checkout.
