Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in San Rafael, CA
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. Don't let their size fool you. Yorkies typically weigh 7 pounds or less, but they have a feisty, bossy, big-dog attitude. However, what really wins people over is their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family. Their love of cuddling and staying right by your side is the icing on the cake. They quickly become part of most families. Locating reputable Yorkie breeders in the San Rafael, California area can be challenging, as there are very few responsible breeders across the country. That's why we're proud to offer families in San Rafael our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies. We want every family to have access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

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. All the adult dogs in our program are genetically tested and come from strong bloodlines known for great temperaments. Our dogs are well cared for and have lots of space to play and socialize.
During their first few weeks, our puppies go through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a series of gentle handling exercises. Socialization is just as important, and it lays the groundwork for good behavior and habits as they grow. Our puppies spend time in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs, playing and exploring together. It's great for their social skills, and it gives them plenty of exercise too.
We invite you to come visit and pick out your puppy in person if you can. That way, you can see our home, get to know our dogs, and meet us face to face. Every Yorkie we place matters to us, and it's never just a one-time sale. We love making new friends, hearing from them over the years, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes.
Every puppy has their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam before going to their new home. You can rest easy knowing you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to be part of your family.
Yorkie Puppy Delivery to San Rafael, California: Costs, Timing, and Airports
There are three ways home, and for San Rafael the choice is usually between the last two.
Farm pickup. Families are welcome in Sugarcreek by appointment. Driving it from San Rafael means 2176 miles and 43 to 45 hours behind the wheel in each direction, so the families who visit nearly always fly into Cleveland or Columbus and drive about an hour and a half out into Tuscarawas County. That only makes sense if you were coming east anyway. When it does work out, you see the property, meet the parents where possible, and we go through the vaccination records, microchip registration, and guarantee at the kitchen table. The puppy leaves with a bag of the food it has been eating, a toy, and a blanket that smells like the litter.
Ground transport. A professional pet transport service drives the puppy door to door in a custom climate controlled van, in an individual carrier, with a veterinary check before departure and updates from the road. The fee to California is a flat $450, whether the address is in San Rafael or in , including Mill Valley CA, San Anselmo CA, Larkspur CA, Tamalpais-Homestead Valley CA, Corte Madera CA, Fairfax CA, Kentfield CA, Strawberry CA, Santa Venetia CA, Marin City CA, Ross CA, Sleepy Hollow CA, Woodacre CA, Bolinas CA, Alto CA, and Stinson Beach CA. Vans leave on Tuesdays, and the West Coast run takes two to three days depending on the route, so treat any arrival window as approximate until it's confirmed by phone.
Flight nanny. This is the one we usually recommend for San Rafael. A trained handler keeps the puppy in the cabin beside them for the whole flight, never in cargo, in an airline approved soft carrier under the seat, and sends photos and video along the way. Most of these deliveries finish in a single day. Because California sits three hours behind Ohio, a morning departure often means an early afternoon handoff your time, and that handoff happens at baggage claim rather than at the gate. Marin County families meet their nanny at San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, and Buchanan Field. Flight nanny costs more than ground and is quoted per flight, since the price depends on the route and the date. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old, needs a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian, and needs to weigh under 20 pounds including the carrier. A Yorkshire Terrier puppy at two or three pounds isn't close to that limit, which is part of why the breed travels so well in the cabin.
Timing matters more in California than it does most places. For a midsummer arrival in San Rafael we aim for early in the day and ask you to have the car cool and a water bowl ready. Toy breed puppies also run their blood sugar down on a travel day, so a small meal soon after you get home matters more than it would with a bigger dog.
