Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Tempe, AZ
Why Yorkies Have Our Hearts
Everyone at The Puppy House has a soft spot for Yorkshire Terriers, also known as Yorkies. This low-shedding breed has a long, beautiful, silky coat and is often recommended for people with allergies. Small as they are at 7 pounds or less, Yorkies have a big-dog attitude that can be feisty and bossy. But their sweet nature and the deep bond they form with their family are what really win people over. The fact that they love to cuddle and stay close all the time is the icing on the cake. They fit in well with most families. It can be challenging to find reputable Yorkie breeders in the Tempe, Arizona 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 Tempe. We want every family to be able to bring home a healthy, well-raised puppy they can count on.

Discover What Makes Our Puppies the Best
Breeding and raising Yorkies the right way is what we're all about at The Puppy House. We set our standards well above the basics. All of our adult dogs are genetically tested and come from strong bloodlines that are known for great temperaments. Every dog we have receives excellent care and has plenty of room 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, laying 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. This time outside is great socialization, and it gives them plenty of exercise too.
If you're able to, we'd love for you to visit and choose your puppy in person. This way, you can see our home and our dogs and meet us face to face. We take placing each Yorkie seriously, and we see it as more than a one-time sale. We love making new friends, keeping in touch, and seeing our puppies 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.
Getting a Yorkie Puppy to Tempe, Arizona
There are three ways to bring a puppy home to Tempe, and we settle on one by phone after the puppy is reserved rather than at checkout.
Flight nanny. For Tempe this is usually the one we point families toward. A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight, under the seat in an airline approved soft carrier, never in cargo. Most of these trips finish the same day. A Yorkshire Terrier weighs four to seven pounds full grown, so a puppy plus carrier sits far under the 20 pound cabin limit, which makes this breed one of the easiest to fly. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks old and have a health certificate from a licensed vet, both of which we arrange. For Maricopa County families, nannies fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, and Mesa Gateway Airport, and the handoff happens at baggage claim. Pricing is quoted per flight since it follows airfare.
Home delivery by ground. A professional transport service drives the puppy door to door in a climate controlled van, with an individual carrier, a pre trip vet check, and updates along the way. Arizona falls in our national tier at a flat $450, and that's the price in Tempe as well as in , including Mesa AZ, Scottsdale AZ, and Guadalupe AZ. Transports leave on Tuesdays, and with 1732 miles of road between the farm and your door, the run usually takes two to three days depending on the route. The van stays cool the whole way, which matters more here than almost anywhere.
Pickup in Sugarcreek. You're welcome to come get the puppy yourself by appointment. It's 34 to 36 hours of driving from Tempe, so nobody does it as a simple errand, but a few families build it into a trip east and like walking the property and going through the health records at the kitchen table.
There's one Arizona specific thing to plan for. Yorkie puppies can drop low on blood sugar after a stressful day of travel, so plan on a small meal soon after the handoff and a few more that first day, and keep water in front of the puppy. Between the desert heat and dry air, that first evening at home should be quiet and indoors.
