Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Johnston, IA
Learn Why We're So Fond of Yorkies
Here at The Puppy House, Yorkshire Terriers, also called Yorkies, hold a special place in our hearts. The breed is often recommended for people with allergies thanks to its long, beautiful, silky coat that 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. Still, their sweet nature and the deep connection they form with their family are what really win people over. Their love of cuddling and staying close all the time is the cherry on top. They usually fit right in with most families. In the Johnston, Iowa area, reputable Yorkie breeders can be tough to find, since there are so few responsible breeders across the country. For this reason, we're proud to offer our carefully bred Yorkie puppies to families in Johnston. Our mission is to help every family find a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

Why Choose One of Our Puppies
Here at The Puppy House, we breed and raise our Yorkies the right way. We go far beyond the minimum standards. All of our adult dogs are genetically tested and come from strong bloodlines that are known for great temperaments. Our dogs get great care and plenty of room to play and socialize.
All of our puppies go through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a series of gentle handling exercises done in the first few weeks of life. Socialization is another important step, and it lays the groundwork for good behavior and habits as they grow. They spend time in the backyard playing and exploring with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. It's great socialization, plus it gives them plenty of exercise.
If you're able, come visit us and pick out your puppy in person. That gives you the 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. It means a lot to us to make new friends, keep in touch, and watch our pups grow up in loving homes.
Every puppy gets their first round of shots and a thorough veterinary exam before going home. You can be sure you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to become part of your family.
How Your Yorkie Puppy Travels to Johnston, Iowa: Fees and Timing
Home delivery by ground
Johnston 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. Johnston sits 633 miles into that run, and the driver works through , including Des Moines IA, Ankeny IA, Urbandale IA, Polk City IA, Windsor Heights IA, and Madrid IA on the same pass, along with any other Polk 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 Johnston, families usually meet the flight at Des Moines International Airport, and Fort Dodge Regional 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. Johnston is 12 to 14 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 Johnston.
