Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Kirkwood, MO
Find Out Why We Love Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies, have a special place in our hearts at The Puppy House. With their long, beautiful, silky coat and very little shedding, Yorkies are often recommended for people with allergies. Even at 7 pounds or less, Yorkies have a big-dog attitude that can come across as feisty and bossy. Still, it's their sweet nature and the deep bond they share with their family that win most people over. Their love of cuddling and being close by all the time is the icing on the cake. They fit easily into most families. Tracking down a reputable Yorkie breeder in the Kirkwood, Missouri area can be challenging, since responsible breeders are so rare across the country. That's why we take great pride in offering our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in Kirkwood. We want to make sure every family has access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

Why Our Puppies Stand Out
At The Puppy House, we do things the right way when it comes to breeding and raising Yorkies. The standards we follow go well beyond the basics. All of our adult dogs are genetically tested and come from strong bloodlines known for their great temperaments. Our dogs are well cared for and have all the room they need 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 helps build good behavior and habits as our puppies grow. Our puppies play and explore in the backyard alongside kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. It's great socialization, and it keeps them active too.
You're welcome to visit us and pick out your puppy in person if you can. It's a chance to see our home, meet our dogs, and get to know us face to face. We take the placement of our Yorkies seriously, and to us it's more than a one-time sale. We love gaining new friends, keeping in touch, and seeing 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.
Bringing a Puppy Home to Kirkwood, Missouri: Costs and Travel Times
Pickup in Sugarcreek
You're welcome to come get the puppy yourself, by appointment, at 559 Pleasant Valley Road NW in Sugarcreek. For a family in Kirkwood that means 485 miles and 9 to 11 hours in each direction, so it's a comfortable overnight at best and a hard drive to justify at worst. You get to see the kennel space, meet the parents where possible, and go over the microchip registration and the guarantee at the kitchen table. Most Missouri families pick one of the other two options.
Ground Home Delivery
Ground transport is what most Missouri families choose. A pet transport service drives the puppy door to door in a climate controlled van, in an individual carrier, with a veterinary check before departure and updates along the way. Missouri falls in the national delivery tier at a flat $450, and that covers the whole state, Kirkwood and , including Webster Groves MO, Crestwood MO, Town and Country MO, Des Peres MO, Sunset Hills MO, Sappington MO, Fenton MO, Frontenac MO, and Oakland MO included. Transport leaves on Tuesdays, and most families have the puppy in their arms within about three days of departure. Nobody in St. Louis County has to drive to an airport.
Flight Nanny
A flight nanny costs more and is quoted per flight, but it usually finishes in one day. The handler keeps the puppy in the cabin under the seat, never in cargo, and the handoff happens at baggage claim. For Kirkwood, the airports that take these flights are St. Louis Lambert International Airport, and Scott AFB/Midamerica Airport. The puppy has to be at least eight weeks old, under 20 pounds including the carrier, and carrying a health certificate from a licensed vet. A Yorkie clears that limit easily.
Which One We Would Suggest
For Kirkwood we point families toward ground delivery. At $450 flat it costs less than a flight for a single puppy, the door to door handoff skips the airport entirely, and a Midwest route means the puppy is not on the road nearly as long as one heading to the coast. Families in a hurry are the ones who get the most out of a flight nanny, since a same day arrival beats waiting on the van. One thing worth knowing about this breed in transit is blood sugar. Very small puppies need small meals often, and the handlers feed on a schedule for that reason rather than waiting for a rest stop.
