Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Merrillville, IN
Learn Why We Love Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies, have a special place in our hearts at The Puppy House. This breed's gorgeous, long, silky coat sheds very little, so it's often suggested for people with allergies. Don't let their size fool you. Yorkies typically weigh 7 pounds or less, but they have a feisty, bossy, big-dog attitude. But underneath that attitude, what really wins people over is their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family. Then there's their love of cuddling and staying close all the time, which is the icing on the cake. They fit easily into most families. With so few responsible breeders across the country, finding a reputable Yorkie breeder in the Merrillville, Indiana area can be a challenge. For that reason, we take great pride in offering our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in Merrillville. We want every family to have the chance to own a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

Why Our Puppies Are a Cut Above
At The Puppy House, we do things the right way when it comes to breeding and raising Yorkies. The bar we set for ourselves is well above the basics. Our adult dogs are genetically tested and come from strong bloodlines with a reputation for great temperaments. Our dogs are well cared for and have all the room they need to play and socialize.
Every puppy goes 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 lays the groundwork for good behavior and habits as they grow. They play and explore in our backyard with kids, adults, and our vaccinated adult dogs. It's great socialization, and they get lots of exercise along the way.
If you're able, come visit us and pick out your puppy in person. That way, you can check out our home and our dogs and meet us face to face. To us, placing a Yorkie is more than a one-time sale, and we take it seriously. Making new friends, keeping in touch, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes are all things we love.
All of our puppies get their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam before they go home. You can be sure you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to become part of your family.
What Delivery to Merrillville, Indiana Costs and How Long It Takes
Indiana is one of the few states where all three options make sense, so it's worth reading through before you decide what fits Merrillville.
Farm pickup
You drive to Sugarcreek by appointment. The puppy goes home with you the same day. From Merrillville that's 305 miles, or 5 to 7 hours each way. You get to see where the puppy was raised, go over the vaccination records and microchip registration with us face to face, and leave with a bag of the food the puppy has been eating, a toy, and a blanket that smells like the litter.
Home delivery by ground
A professional pet transport service drives the puppy to your door in a climate controlled van, in an individual carrier, with a veterinary check before departure and updates along the way. Indiana falls in our regional tier at a flat $350, and Lake County is no exception, whether the address is in Merrillville or over in , including and Crown Point IN. Transport leaves on Tuesdays, and because your state is one of the shorter legs on the route, Indiana stops tend to come early in the run. Most families across the country have their puppy within about three days of departure. We confirm the timing on the phone rather than promising a date in writing.
Flight nanny
A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin beside them, never in cargo, and hands it to you at baggage claim. Most of these are done in a single day. For Merrillville, the workable arrival points are Gary Chicago International Airport, and Chicago Midway International Airport. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old, under twenty pounds including the carrier, and traveling with a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. Flight nanny costs more than ground and is quoted per flight, so we price it out once we know the airport.
What we usually suggest
If 5 to 7 hours each way sounds like a long day rather than an overnight, come get the puppy yourself. Meeting the litter is worth the drive. If it sounds like more car time than you want, ground delivery is the better fit, and it costs the same from anywhere in the state. One scheduling note that catches people out: most of Indiana runs on Eastern time, but the counties up by Chicago and the ones around Evansville are on Central, so we confirm arrival windows in your local time before anyone sets off.
We send you off with the food the puppy already knows. Walk on a harness rather than a collar from day one, in the carrier and out of it, because this breed is prone to tracheal problems and neck pressure is the easiest part of that to avoid.
