Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in La Quinta, CA
Discover Why We Adore Yorkies
At The Puppy House, Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies, hold a special place in our hearts. People with allergies are often pointed toward Yorkies, since their beautiful, long, silky coat sheds very little. For a dog that typically weighs 7 pounds or less, the Yorkie has a big-dog attitude that can be feisty and bossy. But what wins people's hearts is their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family. Even better, they love to cuddle and stay close all the time. They usually fit right in with most families. Searching for a reputable Yorkie breeder in the La Quinta, California area can be challenging, given how few responsible breeders there are nationwide. For this reason, we're proud to offer our carefully bred Yorkie puppies to families in La Quinta. Every family should have access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on, and that's what we're here to provide.

What Makes Our Puppies the Best
When it comes to breeding and raising Yorkies, we do things the right way at The Puppy House. Our standards reach well past the basics. Our adult dogs come from strong bloodlines known for great temperaments, and all of them are genetically tested. Every dog here is well cared for and has lots of room to play and socialize.
From the start, 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 big part of the process, and it lays the groundwork for good behavior and habits as they grow. Playtime happens in the backyard, where our puppies explore with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. This helps with socialization and gives them plenty of exercise too.
If you can, we invite you to visit us and pick out your puppy in person. It's a chance to see our home, meet our dogs, and get to know us face to face. We take placing our Yorkies seriously, and to us it's more than a one-time sale. We love making new friends, keeping in touch, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes.
All of our puppies get their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam before they go home. You can be sure you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to become part of your family.
Yorkie Puppy Delivery to La Quinta, California: Costs, Timing, and Airports
There are three ways home, and for La Quinta the choice is usually between the last two.
Farm pickup. Families are welcome in Sugarcreek by appointment. Driving it from La Quinta means 1955 miles and 38 to 40 hours behind the wheel in each direction, so the families who visit nearly always fly into Cleveland or Columbus and drive about an hour and a half out into Tuscarawas County. That only makes sense if you were coming east anyway. When it does work out, you see the property, meet the parents where possible, and we go through the vaccination records, microchip registration, and guarantee at the kitchen table. The puppy leaves with a bag of the food it has been eating, a toy, and a blanket that smells like the litter.
Ground transport. A professional pet transport service drives the puppy door to door in a custom climate controlled van, in an individual carrier, with a veterinary check before departure and updates from the road. The fee to California is a flat $450, whether the address is in La Quinta or in , including Palm Desert CA, Indian Wells CA, and Borrego Springs CA. Vans leave on Tuesdays, and the West Coast run takes two to three days depending on the route, so treat any arrival window as approximate until it's confirmed by phone.
Flight nanny. This is the one we usually recommend for La Quinta. A trained handler keeps the puppy in the cabin beside them for the whole flight, never in cargo, in an airline approved soft carrier under the seat, and sends photos and video along the way. Most of these deliveries finish in a single day. Because California sits three hours behind Ohio, a morning departure often means an early afternoon handoff your time, and that handoff happens at baggage claim rather than at the gate. Riverside County families meet their nanny at Palm Springs International Airport, and San Bernardino International Airport. Flight nanny costs more than ground and is quoted per flight, since the price depends on the route and the date. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old, needs a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian, and needs to weigh under 20 pounds including the carrier. A Yorkshire Terrier puppy at two or three pounds isn't close to that limit, which is part of why the breed travels so well in the cabin.
Timing matters more in California than it does most places. For a midsummer arrival in La Quinta we aim for early in the day and ask you to have the car cool and a water bowl ready. Toy breed puppies also run their blood sugar down on a travel day, so a small meal soon after you get home matters more than it would with a bigger dog.
