The Yorkie pairs a watchful, alert streak with real affection for its family. Right at home here, a Yorkie is small enough for nearly any South El Monte home and content as a close companion. For reference, the standard size lands between four and seven pounds, with twelve to sixteen years typical. Worth knowing, a harness in place of a collar protects the windpipe, a small habit that matters for the breed.

How The Puppy House Delivers Yorkshire Terriers To South El Monte, CA
The simplest way to bring your Yorkshire Terriers puppy home to South El Monte is with our professional puppy flight nanny service. Your puppy flies in-cabin with a dedicated handler straight into your nearest airport, staying right beside the handler from takeoff to landing. We also offer climate-controlled ground transport aboard our puppy delivery bus if you’d prefer a door-to-door option. Because South El Monte is roughly 40 to 42 hours hours from our family home in Central Ohio, an in-person pickup is a bigger undertaking — but you’re always welcome to visit by appointment if you’d like to meet your puppy’s parents and see our operation for yourself.
As soon as your Yorkshire Terriers puppy is reserved, Jerry and our family team will reach out to arrange delivery to South El Monte. Every puppy is given a final vet check before heading out. Ground deliveries leave each Tuesday morning, so simply reserve and book by noon on Monday to catch that week’s run. However your puppy travels — by our delivery bus or with a flight nanny — most families are cuddling their new companion within just 4 days.
1. Flight Nanny Delivery
Your Yorkshire Terriers puppy can be flown into a nearby commercial airport with a professional puppy flight nanny. Your puppy stays right beside the nanny for the entire flight and is never placed with cargo or luggage. Just like with ground transport, your puppy is cared for every step of the way until you collect them at the airport. This option costs a little more but gets your puppy to you as quickly as possible. We can arrange delivery to your closest airport, including Long Beach International Airport, and Jack Northrop Field Hawthorne Municipal Airport.
2. Ground Transport
We deliver your Yorkshire Terriers puppy using our dedicated puppy delivery bus — a fully climate-controlled vehicle where your little one stays comfortable and well looked after the whole way to your home in South El Monte, California.

Is a Yorkshire Terrier a Good Match for Your Family?
Most families picture the Yorkshire Terrier as a dainty lap dog with a pretty coat, and then they meet one. What you actually get is a confident, alert little terrier with a personality far bigger than its four-to-seven-pound, seven-or-eight-inch frame. Yorkies were bred in nineteenth-century England to hunt rats in textile mills, and that bold, tenacious working heritage still shows in the modern dog, which simply does its work from the couch now. Understanding that the breed is a terrier first and a lap dog second is the key to knowing whether a Yorkie will suit your home.
That terrier nature is the source of the Yorkie’s trademark big-dog attitude. A Yorkie will greet visitors, patrol the house, and bark at anything it deems suspicious, which makes it a surprisingly capable little watchdog and, left to its own devices, a problem barker. The breed also tends to bond especially closely with one person, usually the one who feeds and walks it most, while staying affectionate with the whole family. Consistent, positive training from the first day home shapes that boldness into good manners and teaches a Yorkie what is and is not worth barking about.
There is a sharp mind behind those dark, bright eyes. Yorkshire Terriers learn quickly and take well to reward-based training, though their independent streak means they can be selectively obedient with an owner who is inconsistent. House training in particular tends to take more patience than it does with a larger breed, with most Yorkies becoming reliable somewhere between six and eight months. Owners who stay consistent and keep sessions upbeat usually find an eager, capable little partner, and a formal puppy class is well worth it for first-time owners.
One thing that catches new owners off guard is the energy. Yorkies are small, but they are not sedentary, and a dog left under-exercised tends to bark more, chew, and invent its own entertainment. Plan around 30 to 45 minutes of activity a day. Usually a couple of short walks plus indoor play and some mental work such as puzzle feeders or training games. One practical point matters more than any other: always walk a Yorkie on a harness, never a collar, because the breed’s windpipe is delicate and pressure on the neck can cause lasting harm.
The silky coat is the breed’s signature and its main upkeep. A Yorkie’s hair is fine and closer to human hair than to dog fur, which is why the breed sheds very little and is so often a good match for households sensitive to dander. Most Yorkie owners keep their dog in a short, easy “puppy cut” that only needs weekly brushing and a professional grooming every six to eight weeks. Long show coat styles require daily attention to keep them in good condition. Your pup will need daily face wiping, routine nail trims, and regular toothbrushing, since small mouths make dental care especially important for this breed.
Like most toy breeds, the Yorkshire Terrier comes with a few health points worth knowing in advance, among them luxating patellas, a delicate trachea, dental disease, and, in puppies and very small adults, low blood sugar that calls for frequent meals. A breeder who health tests both parents and is upfront about the lineage removes much of that risk before a puppy is ever born. Cared for well, a Yorkie is a remarkably long-lived companion that commonly reaches twelve to sixteen years. The breed fits singles, couples, retirees, and families with gentle, school-age children especially well, and it is a poor match for a home that sits empty all day or wants an outdoor dog, since few breeds crave their person’s company quite as much as the Yorkie.
Owning a Yorkshire Terrier in South El Monte
Owning a Yorkshire Terrier in South El Monte is rewarding and low-fuss once exercise and grooming settle into a routine. Plan on thirty to forty-five minutes of activity a day for an adult Yorkie. Two fifteen-to-twenty-minute walks plus some indoor play and a training game usually do it. The mild climate makes daily walks easy at Peck Road Water Conservation Park Dog Area, 4000 Peck Rd, El Monte. Peck Road Park Trail, 4000 Peck Rd, El Monte is a good choice for a longer weekend outing. The defining feature is that silky, single coat. No undercoat means very little shedding, and the hair-like texture is why many allergy-prone owners tolerate a Yorkie well. During the puppy-to-adult coat change, mats form quickly without daily brushing. Once the adult coat is in, a few sessions a week keep it smooth. Given the breed's risk of tracheal collapse, walk on a harness, and add furniture ramps to reduce the jumping that strains small knees. A grown dog does well on two measured meals a day, with treats kept modest. A standard Yorkie's adult weight is four to seven pounds. That is both the breed-standard range and, in our experience, the healthiest for a long life.

The climate in South El Monte is temperate and forgiving, with roughly 284 sunny days a year. Highs run from near 72°F to about 83°F.

What Sets The Puppy House Apart for Yorkie Families
Every Yorkshire Terrier we raise grows up as part of our family on our five-acre mini farm in Sugarcreek, Ohio, the rural corner of the state long known as the “Little Switzerland of Ohio.” Lee and Clara and their three children, Kylan, Gracelyn, and Austin, are all part of daily life with the puppies, and our socialization work begins right away.
For a breed as bold and people-focused as the Yorkie, that early handling and steady exposure to the sounds and motion of a busy household is what builds the confident, well-adjusted temperament these little dogs are known for.
Because we live with our puppies, we come to know each one as an individual long before it goes home. Yorkies vary more than people expect, some bold and busy and others calmer and more reserved, and we use what we learn about each puppy to match it to the household that suits it best. We do this for every litter, and we treat it as one of the most important parts of our work. When a family asks about a smaller Yorkie, or wonders whether a Yorkie or one of our Yorkipoos is the better fit, we talk it through honestly, because the right match matters more to us than the sale.
To keep healthy puppies available when families are ready for them, we have partnered with a few local families who love these breeds as much as we do. Each partner is state-licensed and held to the same standards of health and care that we follow ourselves, so the range of puppies we can offer never comes at the expense of how they are raised.
Healthy puppies start with healthy parents. Our breeding dogs are health tested before they ever join the program. That screening is the groundwork behind the soundness and the long, twelve-to-sixteen-year lifespans Yorkshire Terriers are capable of.
When your Yorkie is ready, it comes home microchipped and up to date on its vaccinations, along with a small bag of the food it has been eating, a small toy, and a new blanket to make those first days away from the litter easier. Every puppy is also backed by our one-year health guarantee. We love welcoming families to the farm to meet the puppies in person, by appointment.
If a trip to Sugarcreek is not practical, we are glad to deliver your puppy safely to your door anywhere in the United States.
