Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Shreveport, LA
Learn What We Love About Yorkies
Yorkshire Terriers, or Yorkies for short, have a special place in our hearts at The Puppy House. Along with their beautiful, long, silky coat, Yorkies shed very little, so they're often recommended for people with allergies. Yorkies usually weigh no more than 7 pounds, yet they have a big-dog attitude that can be both feisty and bossy. But what truly wins people over is their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family. Their love of snuggling up and staying by your side is the icing on the cake. They usually fit right in with most families. It can be challenging to find reputable Yorkie breeders in the Shreveport, Louisiana area, since responsible breeders are few and far between across the country. That's what makes us so proud to offer our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies to families in Shreveport. Our goal is for every family to have access to a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

Why Our Puppies Make the Best Companions
At The Puppy House, we take care to breed and raise our Yorkies the right way. We aim much higher than the basics. All of our adult dogs are genetically tested and come from strong bloodlines known for their great temperaments. Every one of our dogs is well cared for, and each has plenty of room to play and socialize.
We start every puppy on Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a series of gentle handling exercises done in the first few weeks of life. Another important step is socialization, which lays the groundwork for good behavior and habits as they grow. Our puppies explore and play in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. Besides being great socialization, it gives them plenty of exercise.
If you can, we invite you to visit us and pick out your puppy in person. It's a chance to see our home, meet our dogs, and get to know us face to face. We put a lot of thought into placing our Yorkies, and to us it's more than a one-time sale. We love making new friends, hearing from them over the years, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes.
Before going home, each puppy receives their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam. You can bring your new Yorkie home knowing they're healthy, happy, and ready to be part of your family.
Yorkie Puppy Delivery to Shreveport, Louisiana: Costs and Timing
Ground transport to your door
Shreveport families pick this one more than any other. A professional pet 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. Louisiana falls in our national delivery tier at a flat $450, and because the Deep South is at the end of the route, with Shreveport 872 miles from the farm, plan on two to three days from departure rather than the next day service the East Coast gets. The van that comes to Shreveport also stops in , including Bossier City LA, Mansfield LA, Blanchard LA, Greenwood LA, Many LA, Stonewall LA, Waskom TX, Zwolle LA, Logansport LA, Lakeview LA, Oil City LA, Joaquin TX, Mooringsport LA, and Pleasant Hill LA, and the fee is the same anywhere in Bossier Parish.
Flight nanny
A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight, in an airline approved soft carrier under the seat, and never in cargo. Handoff happens at baggage claim, usually the same day. For Shreveport, we would fly the puppy into Shreveport Regional Airport, and East Texas Regional Airport. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old, under twenty pounds with the carrier, which no Yorkie comes close to, and traveling with a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. Flight nanny is quoted per flight and costs more than ground, and everyone involved needs some flexibility if weather pushes a departure.
Picking up at the farm
Come to Sugarcreek by appointment and take the puppy home yourself. It's 16 to 18 hours each way from Shreveport, so this is the least common choice, but a few families build it into a trip north. You get to see where the puppy was raised, go over the vaccination records, microchip registration, and health guarantee at the kitchen table, and leave with a small bag of the food the puppy has been eating, a toy, and a blanket that smells like the litter.
What we usually suggest
Ground transport is the sensible pick for nearly every Louisiana address, Shreveport included. It's the cheaper of the two long distance options, it ends at your front door instead of an airport curb, and a Yorkie travels well in a van with a driver who stops on a schedule. Families who want the puppy home in a single day often go with a flight nanny instead. One breed note worth knowing either way: young Yorkies can drop their blood sugar after a stressful stretch or a missed meal, so transport keeps them on small frequent feedings the whole way, and we ask you to do the same for the first few months.
