Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Herndon, VA
Find Out Why We Love Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies, have a special place in our hearts at The Puppy House. This breed is known for its long, beautiful, silky coat, and because it sheds very little, it's often recommended for people with allergies. 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 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 fit easily into most families. If you live in the Herndon, Virginia area, finding a reputable Yorkie breeder can be challenging, since there are so few responsible breeders nationwide. That's why we take real pride in providing our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in Herndon. We want every family to have access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can depend on.

Why Our Puppies Stand Out
At The Puppy House, we do things the right way when it comes to breeding and raising Yorkies. We set our standards well above the basics. Each of our adult dogs is genetically tested and comes from strong bloodlines with a history of great temperaments. Our dogs are well cared for and have plenty of space for playing and socializing.
During their first few weeks, our puppies go through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a series of gentle handling exercises. Another important step is socialization, which helps shape good behavior and habits as they grow. In our backyard, the puppies play and explore with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. It's great socialization, and it gives them plenty of exercise too.
We encourage you to visit us and pick out your puppy in person if you can. It's a great chance to see our home and our dogs and meet us face to face. We take the placement of our Yorkies seriously, and to us it's 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.
Each puppy leaves with their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam completed. You can be sure you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to become part of your family.
How Your Yorkie Gets to Herndon, Virginia: Delivery, Nanny, or Pickup
Home delivery by ground
A pet transport service drives the puppy door to door in a climate controlled van, with an individual carrier, a veterinary check before departure, and updates along the way. Virginia falls in our regional tier, so the fee is a flat $350 to any address in the state, so nothing changes between Herndon and , including Reston VA, Sterling VA, McNair VA, and Oak Grove VA, or for any other stop in Fairfax County. Vans leave Sugarcreek on Tuesdays. Because the state sits on the eastern side of the route, most Virginia deliveries land the next day, and almost all families have the puppy in hand inside about three days of departure. This is the option most people pick.
Picking up at the farm
Driving to Sugarcreek yourself works well for a good share of the state. Herndon is 249 miles out, which is 4 to 6 hours each way. Four or five hours is an easy day. Seven or eight is a long one in the car with a young puppy. Visits are by appointment, and you get to see the parents, walk the property, and go through the health records and microchip paperwork in person.
Flight nanny
A handler carries the puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight, never in cargo, and hands it over at baggage claim. Most are complete the day they start. The airline limit is 20 pounds including the carrier, so a Yorkshire Terrier at four to seven pounds has room to spare, and the soft carrier fits under the seat with no trouble. Health certificates are arranged on our end before travel. Common arrival airports for Herndon families are Washington Dulles International Airport, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Flight nanny is quoted per flight and costs more than ground, and it's the better answer when you want the puppy fast or a weekend drive is out of the question.
What we would suggest
If 4 to 6 hours each way is a manageable day trip for you, pickup is worth doing when your schedule allows. If it isn't, ground delivery is the sensible pick, and at $350 it saves the whole round trip. Walk the puppy on a harness rather than a collar from the first trip to the car, since pressure on a Yorkie's throat is the one contributing factor to collapsing trachea that owners can control.
