Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Alexandria, LA
Discover What We Love About Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, or Yorkies for short, have a special place in our hearts at The Puppy House. Known for their beautiful, long, silky coat, Yorkies shed very little and are often recommended for people with allergies. Yorkies usually weigh no more than 7 pounds, yet they have a big-dog attitude that can be both feisty and bossy. That said, what really wins people over is their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family. And their love of cuddling and staying close all the time is the icing on the cake. They tend to fit right in with most families. Locating reputable Yorkie breeders in the Alexandria, Louisiana area can be challenging, as there are very few responsible breeders across the country. This is why we take great pride in offering our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in Alexandria. It matters to us that every family has access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.
Our Available Yorkie Puppies In Alexandria
Why Choose One of Our Puppies
Here at The Puppy House, we breed and raise our Yorkies the right way. We expect much more from ourselves than the basics. Each of our adult dogs is genetically tested and comes from strong bloodlines known for great temperaments. Each dog in our care is well looked after and has plenty of room to play and socialize.
Each of our puppies receives Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a set of gentle handling exercises done in the first few weeks of life. Socialization is another important step, and it builds the foundation for good behavior and habits as they grow. Our pups play and explore in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. This is great socialization, and it gives them plenty of exercise too.
We invite you to visit us and pick out your puppy in person if you can. That way, you get to see our home and our dogs and meet us face to face. We take every Yorkie placement seriously, and to us it's much more than a one-time sale. Making new friends, keeping in touch, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes are all things we love.
Our puppies receive their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam before they go home. You can trust that you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to be part of your family.
Yorkie Puppy Delivery to Alexandria, Louisiana: Costs and Timing
Ground transport to your door
Alexandria families pick this one more than any other. A professional pet 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. Louisiana falls in our national delivery tier at a flat $450, and because the Deep South is at the end of the route, with Alexandria 875 miles from the farm, plan on two to three days from departure rather than the next day service the East Coast gets. The van that comes to Alexandria also stops in , including Natchitoches LA, Pineville LA, Fort Polk South LA, Oakdale LA, Leesville LA, Marksville LA, Ball LA, Bunkie LA, Jena LA, Ferriday LA, Fort Polk North LA, New Llano LA, Simmesport LA, Jonesville LA, Cottonport LA, Pine Prairie LA, Colfax LA, Mansura LA, Deville LA, Glenmora LA, Urania LA, Vienna Bend LA, Midway LA, Lecompte LA, Woodworth LA, Boyce LA, Wallace Ridge LA, Forest Hill LA, Moreauville LA, Fifth Ward LA, Anacoco LA, Hessmer LA, Montgomery LA, Florien LA, Provencal LA, Natchez LA, Pitkin LA, Ridgecrest LA, Simpson LA, Cheneyville LA, and Elizabeth LA, and the fee is the same anywhere in Rapides Parish.
Flight nanny
A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight, in an airline approved soft carrier under the seat, and never in cargo. Handoff happens at baggage claim, usually the same day. For Alexandria, we would fly the puppy into Alexandria International Airport, and Lafayette Regional Airport. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old, under twenty pounds with the carrier, which no Yorkie comes close to, and traveling with a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. Flight nanny is quoted per flight and costs more than ground, and everyone involved needs some flexibility if weather pushes a departure.
Picking up at the farm
Come to Sugarcreek by appointment and take the puppy home yourself. It's 17 to 19 hours each way from Alexandria, so this is the least common choice, but a few families build it into a trip north. You get to see where the puppy was raised, go over the vaccination records, microchip registration, and health guarantee at the kitchen table, and leave with a small bag of the food the puppy has been eating, a toy, and a blanket that smells like the litter.
What we usually suggest
Ground transport is the sensible pick for nearly every Louisiana address, Alexandria included. It's the cheaper of the two long distance options, it ends at your front door instead of an airport curb, and a Yorkie travels well in a van with a driver who stops on a schedule. Families who want the puppy home in a single day often go with a flight nanny instead. One breed note worth knowing either way: young Yorkies can drop their blood sugar after a stressful stretch or a missed meal, so transport keeps them on small frequent feedings the whole way, and we ask you to do the same for the first few months.
