Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale in Thornton, CO
The Reasons We Love Yorkies
At The Puppy House, we have a soft spot for Yorkshire Terriers, better known as Yorkies. The breed is often recommended for people with allergies thanks to its long, beautiful, silky coat that sheds very little. Yorkies generally weigh 7 pounds or less, yet they carry themselves with a big-dog attitude that can be feisty and bossy. But what really wins people over is their sweet nature and the close bond they build with their family. The fact that they love to cuddle and stay close all the time is the icing on the cake. Yorkies fit right in with most families. Responsible breeders are few and far between across the country, which makes finding a reputable Yorkie breeder in the Thornton, Colorado area a challenge. That's why we're proud to offer families in Thornton our carefully bred Yorkshire Terrier puppies. We want every family to have a healthy, well-raised puppy they can rely on.

See What Makes Our Puppies the Best
At The Puppy House, we don't cut corners when it comes to breeding and raising Yorkies. Meeting the basics isn't enough for us. Our adult dogs are all genetically tested, and they come from strong bloodlines known for wonderful temperaments. Our dogs are well cared for and enjoy plenty of room to play and socialize.
Our puppies all go through Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), which involves gentle handling exercises in the first few weeks of life. Socialization is another important step in helping our puppies develop good behavior and habits as they grow. Our puppies explore and play in the backyard with kids, adults, and our own vaccinated adult dogs. This helps with socialization and gives them plenty of exercise too.
We'd be happy to have you visit and pick out your puppy in person if you can. During your visit, 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. Our favorite part is making new friends, keeping in touch, and watching our pups grow up in loving homes.
Before leaving for their new home, each puppy receives their first round of vaccinations and a thorough veterinary exam. You can rest assured that you're bringing home a healthy, happy Yorkie who's ready to be part of your family.
A Flat $450 Gets a Yorkie Puppy to Thornton, Colorado
Home delivery by ground
This is what most Thornton families use. A professional pet delivery service picks your puppy up here on Tuesday morning and drives it to your door in a climate controlled van, riding in a carrier of its own. Every van runs two drivers, so somebody is with the puppies the whole way out. The service keeps its own veterinarian, who looks each puppy over after pickup and before the van pulls away, and the driver checks in along the route and calls with an arrival time as it gets close.
That week's schedule closes at noon on Monday. The rate is $450 to any Colorado address, and it doesn't rise with the mileage. Thornton is 1227 miles from Sugarcreek, and a van already working Adams County covers , including Brighton CO, and Northglenn CO without adding much distance, which is why every one of those addresses pays the same.
Flight nanny
A trained handler carries the puppy in the cabin, never in cargo, in a soft carrier under the seat, and hands it to you at baggage claim. Most of these finish the same day. For Thornton, we would route the flight into Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, and Denver International Airport. Flights run between $750 and $1,200 depending on the route and the airline. The puppy has to be at least eight weeks old, under 20 pounds with the carrier, and traveling on a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian.
Pickup at the farm
Pickup is free and always open to you, by appointment. 24 to 26 hours behind the wheel from Thornton is a lot to ask of anyone, so almost nobody drives it, and the families who do are usually heading east for another reason. Visits get scheduled so the time is set aside for you properly rather than squeezed between chores. We're closed Sundays, and anything left with us then gets answered Monday.
One thing about the breed matters on a run this long. Yorkie puppies are small enough that a missed meal can drop their blood sugar, so the drivers feed on a schedule rather than waiting for a rest stop, and we ask you to keep to three or four small meals a day once the puppy is home.
