Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in University City, MO
Learn Why We Love Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies, have a special place in our hearts at The Puppy House. This breed's gorgeous, long, silky coat sheds very little, so it's often suggested for people with allergies. Most Yorkies weigh 7 pounds or less, but their big-dog attitude can be feisty and bossy. But underneath that attitude, what really wins people over is 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 settle into most family homes with ease. Since there are so few responsible breeders across the country, finding reputable Yorkie breeders in the University City, Missouri area can be challenging. That's why we're so proud to provide families in University City with our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies. Our aim is to give every family access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

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. The bar we set for ourselves is well above the basics. Every adult dog we own is genetically tested and comes from strong bloodlines known for great temperaments. Every dog we have receives excellent care and has plenty of room to play and socialize.
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. They play and explore in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. It's great for socialization, and it gives them plenty of exercise too.
We encourage you to visit us and pick out 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 don't take placing our Yorkies lightly, and to us it's more than a one-time sale. We enjoy making new friends, keeping in touch, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes.
Each puppy gets their first round of vaccinations and a thorough exam from a veterinarian before going home. You can be sure you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to become part of your family.
Bringing a Puppy Home to University City, 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 University City that means 479 miles and 9 to 11 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, University City and , including Clayton MO, Jennings MO, Richmond Heights MO, Olivette MO, Normandy MO, Northwoods MO, Pine Lawn MO, Pagedale MO, Bel-Ridge MO, Wellston MO, Vinita Park MO, Hanley Hills MO, Hillsdale MO, Bel-Nor MO, Velda City MO, Charlack MO, Country Club Hills MO, Velda Village Hills MO, Norwood Court MO, Pasadena Hills MO, Flordell Hills MO, Greendale MO, Sycamore Hills MO, and Beverly Hills MO included. Transport leaves on Tuesdays, and most families have the puppy in their arms within about three days of departure. Nobody in St. Louis 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 University City, the airports that take these flights are St. Louis Lambert International Airport, and Scott AFB/Midamerica 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 University City 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.
