Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Burlington, IA
Learn Why We're Crazy About Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, better known as Yorkies, have a special place in our hearts here at The Puppy House. The Yorkie's long, silky coat is beautiful and low-shedding, which makes the breed a common recommendation for people with allergies. Although they typically weigh 7 pounds or less, Yorkies have a big-dog attitude that 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. The fact that they love to cuddle and stay close all the time is the icing on the cake. They tend to fit right in with most families. If you live in the Burlington, Iowa area, finding a reputable Yorkie breeder can be challenging, since there are so few responsible breeders nationwide. That's why it means so much to us to offer our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in Burlington. We want to make sure every family has access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

Why Families Love Our Puppies
At The Puppy House, breeding and raising Yorkies the right way is what we do. We go above and beyond the basics. All of our adult dogs are genetically tested and come from strong bloodlines known for great temperaments. Our dogs are well cared for and have lots of space 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. They play and explore in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. This is a great way for them to socialize, and they get plenty of exercise too.
We invite you to come visit and pick out your puppy in person if you can. That way, you can see our home, get to know our dogs, and meet us face to face. We take great care in placing our Yorkies, 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.
Every puppy has had their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam by the time they go home. You can rest easy knowing you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to be part of your family.
How Your Yorkie Puppy Travels to Burlington, Iowa: Fees and Timing
Home delivery by ground
Burlington 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. Burlington sits 497 miles into that run, and the driver works through , including Quincy IL, Macomb IL, Macomb City IL, Fort Madison IA, Mount Pleasant IA, Montebello IL, West Burlington IA, Carthage IL, New London IA, Mediapolis IA, Colchester IL, Oquawka IL, Emmet IL, La Harpe IL, Winfield IA, Nauvoo IL, Beaverdale IA, West Point IA, Danville IA, Gladstone IL, Dallas City IL, Donnellson IA, Morning Sun IA, Stronghurst IL, Montrose IA, Lomax IL, Kirkwood IL, Farmington IA, Chalmers IL, Blandinsville IL, and St. Mary IL on the same pass, along with any other Des Moines 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 Burlington, families usually meet the flight at Southeast Iowa Regional Airport, and Quad City 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. Burlington is 9 to 11 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 Burlington.
