Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Iowa City, 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. Along with their beautiful, long, silky coat, Yorkies shed very little, so they're often recommended for people with allergies. They're small, usually weighing 7 pounds or less, but Yorkies have a big-dog attitude that can be feisty and bossy. But what wins people's hearts is their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family. Their love of cuddling and staying close all the time is the cherry on top. They quickly become part of most families. It can be challenging to find reputable Yorkie breeders in the Iowa City, Iowa area, since responsible breeders are few and far between across the country. That's why we're so proud to provide families in Iowa City with our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies. We want every family to enjoy 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. Our standards are set well above the minimum. Our adult dogs are genetically tested and come from strong bloodlines with a reputation for great temperaments. We take good care of our dogs and give them plenty of room to play and socialize.
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. Our puppies play and explore outside in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. It's great socialization, and it gives them plenty of exercise too.
If possible, we invite you to come visit us and choose your puppy in person. Visiting lets you see our home and our dogs and meet us face to face. We take placing our Yorkies with families seriously, and it's more than a one-time sale to us. We love making new friends, keeping in touch, and seeing our puppies grow up in loving homes.
Before going home, each puppy is given their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam. 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 Iowa City, Iowa: Fees and Timing
Home delivery by ground
Iowa City 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. Iowa City sits 521 miles into that run, and the driver works through , including Coralville IA, Solon IA, West Branch IA, Lone Tree IA, University Heights IA, Riverside IA, Wayland IA, Hills IA, Stanwood IA, and Ainsworth IA on the same pass, along with any other Johnson 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 Iowa City, families usually meet the flight at The Eastern Iowa 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. Iowa City 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 Iowa City.
