Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Marshalltown, IA
Discover What We Love About Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, or Yorkies for short, have a special place in our hearts at The Puppy House. People with allergies are often pointed toward Yorkies, since their beautiful, long, silky coat sheds very little. Even though most Yorkies weigh 7 pounds or less, they often act like big dogs, with an attitude that can be feisty and bossy. But their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family are what really win people over. Their love of cuddling and being close by all the time is the icing on the cake. They blend right in with most families. Searching for a reputable Yorkie breeder in the Marshalltown, Iowa area can be challenging, given how few responsible breeders there are nationwide. That's why offering our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in Marshalltown is something we take great pride in. We want every family to enjoy a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

Why You'll Love Our Puppies
At The Puppy House, we take care to breed and raise our Yorkies the right way. Our standards are much higher than what's required. Every adult dog in our program is genetically tested and comes from strong bloodlines known for great temperaments. Our dogs are well cared for and have plenty of room to play and socialize.
Our puppies each go through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a series of gentle handling exercises done in the first few weeks of life. Another important step is socialization, which 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. That playtime is great socialization, and it gives them plenty of exercise too.
We welcome you to visit us and pick out your puppy in person if you're able to. You'll get to see our home and our dogs and meet us face to face. For us, placing a Yorkie is a serious commitment and more than a one-time sale. We love making new friends and staying in touch as 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.
How Your Yorkie Puppy Travels to Marshalltown, Iowa: Fees and Timing
Home delivery by ground
Marshalltown families choose this more often than anything else, and we would suggest it first. A professional transport service drives the puppy door to door in a custom climate controlled van, with an individual carrier, a veterinary check before departure, and updates from the road. Transport leaves Sugarcreek on Tuesdays. Most families across the country have their puppy in hand within about three days of departure. Iowa is on the shorter side of that since the route runs west along the interstate corridor rather than across the country. Marshalltown sits 595 miles into that run, and the driver works through , including Newton IA, Grinnell IA, Iowa Falls IA, Tama IA, Grundy Center IA, Eldora IA, Toledo IA, Ackley IA, State Center IA, Brooklyn IA, Baxter IA, Conrad IA, Le Grand IA, Victor IA, Gladbrook IA, Sully IA, Melbourne IA, Wellsburg IA, and Kellogg IA on the same pass, along with any other Marshall County address. Cost is a flat $450 for the state, and no airport trip is involved.
Flight nanny
A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight and hands it over at baggage claim, never in cargo. Most of these are same day. From Marshalltown, families usually meet the flight at Waterloo Regional Airport, and Des Moines International Airport, and because there's no direct route from our corner of Ohio you should plan on a connection. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old, under 20 pounds including the carrier, and traveling with a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. A Yorkshire Terrier clears the weight limit with room to spare at four to seven pounds, so the carrier is comfortable rather than tight. Flight nanny costs more than ground and gets quoted per flight, and weather delays are part of the deal.
Pickup in Sugarcreek
You're welcome to come get the puppy yourself by appointment. Marshalltown is 11 to 13 hours out, so this is a full weekend rather than a day trip, but some families want to see where the puppy was raised and go over the records, microchip registration and guarantee in person. If you're making the drive anyway, that's the best version of the handoff.
Travel comes with one breed specific caution. Very young toy puppies can drop their blood sugar after a stressful stretch or a missed meal, so whichever method you pick, plan on small frequent meals for the first few days at home and keep the first evening quiet. Call or text us at (330) 275-4443 and we'll talk through which option makes sense for Marshalltown.
