Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in McLean, VA
Find Out Why We Love Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies, have a special place in our hearts at The Puppy House. Yorkies are often recommended for people with allergies because their long, beautiful, silky coat sheds very little. Yorkies typically weigh 7 pounds or less, but you'd never guess it from their feisty, bossy, big-dog attitude. But what really wins people over is their sweet nature and the close bond they build with their family. Their love of cuddling and staying close all the time is the icing on the cake. Yorkies fit right in with most families. Tracking down a reputable Yorkie breeder in the McLean, Virginia area can be challenging, since responsible breeders are so rare across the country. This is why we're so proud to offer carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in McLean. 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. Our standards reach well past the basics. Each of our adult dogs is genetically tested and comes from strong bloodlines with a history of great temperaments. Our dogs are well cared for and have lots of space to play and socialize.
Our puppies all go through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), which involves gentle handling exercises in the first few weeks of life. Socialization is another important step, and it builds the foundation for good behavior and habits as they grow. Our puppies enjoy playing and exploring in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. That playtime is great socialization, and it gives them plenty of exercise too.
If you're able, come visit us and pick out your puppy in person. This gives you a chance to see our home and our dogs and meet us face to face. Placing our Yorkies matters to us, and we see it as more than a one-time sale. Nothing makes us happier than making new friends, keeping in touch, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes.
Before leaving for their new home, each puppy receives 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 Gets to McLean, 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 McLean and , including Tysons VA, and Cabin John MD, or for any other stop in Fairfax 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. McLean is 260 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 McLean 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.
