Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Dubuque, IA
Discover Why We're So Fond of Yorkies
Here at The Puppy House, Yorkshire Terriers, also called Yorkies, hold a special place in our hearts. With their long, beautiful, silky coat and very little shedding, Yorkies are often recommended for people with allergies. Most Yorkies weigh 7 pounds or less, but their big-dog attitude can be feisty and bossy. But what most people love is their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family. Even better, they love to cuddle and stay close all the time. Yorkies make a wonderful fit for most families. Given how few responsible breeders there are across the country, finding reputable Yorkie breeders in the Dubuque, Iowa area can be difficult. That's why we take great pride in bringing our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in Dubuque. Every family should have access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on, and that's what we're here to provide.

Why So Many Families Choose Our Puppies
Here at The Puppy House, we breed and raise our Yorkies the right way. Our standards go well beyond the basics. We only work with genetically tested adult dogs 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.
Our puppies go through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a series of gentle handling exercises done during the first few weeks of life. Socialization matters just as much, since 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 a great way to socialize them, and they get plenty of exercise too.
We invite you to visit and choose your puppy in person whenever possible. 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 love building new friendships, keeping in touch, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes.
Before any puppy goes home, they receive their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam. You can bring your new Yorkie home knowing they're healthy, happy, and ready to be part of your family.
How Your Yorkie Puppy Travels to Dubuque, Iowa: Fees and Timing
Home delivery by ground
Dubuque 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. Dubuque sits 487 miles into that run, and the driver works through , including Platteville WI, Maquoketa IA, Asbury IA, Prairie du Chien WI, Richland Center WI, Dyersville IA, Lancaster WI, Dunleith IL, Galena IL, Boscobel WI, West Galena IL, Fennimore WI, Mineral Point WI, Cascade IA, Darlington WI, Bellevue IA, Jamestown WI, Cuba City WI, Epworth IA, Peosta IA, Guttenberg IA, Farley IA, East Dubuque IL, The Galena Territory IL, Richland WI, Muscoda WI, Hazel Green WI, East Galena IL, Elkader IA, Shullsburg WI, Guilford IL, Menominee IL, Dickeyville WI, Bridgeport WI, Belmont WI, Benton WI, Potosi WI, Cassville WI, McGregor IA, Highland WI, South Lancaster WI, Smelser WI, Thompson IL, Beetown WI, Willow Springs WI, Wauzeka WI, Garnavillo IA, Bloomington WI, Montfort WI, Livingston WI, Avoca WI, Mifflin WI, Scales Mound IL, Elk Grove WI, Kieler WI, Mount Ida WI, Orion WI, Ellenboro WI, Linden WI, Richwood WI, Wyoming IA, North Lancaster WI, Apple Canyon Lake IL, and New Diggings WI on the same pass, along with any other Dubuque 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 Dubuque, families usually meet the flight at Dubuque Regional Airport, and The Eastern Iowa 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. Dubuque 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 Dubuque.
