Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale
The Yorkshire Terrier breed also known to many as the Yorkie, said to have Scottish ancestry, was brought to England by breeders in the 19th century. It was originally bred and used to catch mice in clothing mills. Due to its energetic and brave temperament, it excelled at this task. Today, the Yorkie is one of the most popular and sought-after dog breeds in the United States. Its long silky coat which is usually blue and tan in color gives this puppy a unique physical appearance. These charming little dogs crave attention and are very affectionate towards humans; thus, making them the perfect addition to your family.
Appearance and Grooming
This toy-sized terrier show dog has a long, silky, and soft blue and tan coat that is parted on the face and from the base of the skull to the end of the tail and hangs evenly and quite straight down each side of the body. The body is neat, compact, and well proportioned. An interesting fact is that their coats become lighter in color as they age. Though shedding is minimal, their long hair requires daily brushing in an effort to prevent tangles and knots. Regular grooming every 6 to 8 weeks is also very important to keep a healthy coat and clipped nails.
Temperament
This self-assured, intelligent breed is a combination of charming looks and adventurous terrier spirit. This breed can certainly show a wide range of personalities from cuddly to perky. These dogs want nothing more than to adoringly follow their families everywhere. They have an outgoing and sometimes mischievous temperament. Early socialization and training will make for a well-rounded addition to your family. But be careful not to spoil them too much as this can encourage them to form bad behaviors.
Family and Companionship
These elegant dogs are very affectionate towards their owners and families as one would expect from a companion dog but true to their terrier heritage. They're sometimes suspicious of strangers and will bark at strange sounds and intruders. They require lots of attention and time with their family. It is best not to leave them for long hours as they will become quite anxious and yappy. Because of their small size, they will do best with older children unless supervised during playtime with younger children.
Exercise
Daily exercise will help your Yorkie release pent-up energy, maintain muscles, keep the heart healthy, and keeps the metabolism working efficiently and intensely that they are panting. A moderate walk twice a day is perfect. These dogs like routine, so ideally they should get a walk in the morning and one in the evening.
Training and Socialization
These puppies respond best to repetition, praise, and plenty of positive reinforcement. They are very in tune with the trainer and the challenges of training as they are driven by mental stimulation. Early socialization is equally important as it offers the opportunity to become accustomed to people, other dogs, and traffic. It also provides this curious pup with mental stimulation by way of sight, scent, and sound, which aids in the training process.

Tinkerbell has just been the sweetest little pop she is adjusted to our family quickly and has become a much loved little girl! Premier pups made the whole process very easy, after spending many months searching for a Yorkshire I was pleasantly surprised at finding this beautiful little girl.. as most private breeders there was a long waiting list. Tinkerbell was just beautiful, kind of a supermodel of Yorkies with all the great traits of this small breed. We were instantly in love with her beautiful ears LOL

This is Jailey, formally known as Bella at premier pups. I purchased Jailey on August 8, 2021, she is now 6 months, and this has been the best 6 months of my life. Adopting her from premier pups was the best decision I could ever make. She is so healthy and such a joyous addition to our family. We drove four hours from our hometown to pick up our fur baby and Premier pups made the transition so easy and comfortable, their professionalism is outstanding. Thank you premier pups for being so amazing. If you are thinking about adopting a fur baby from premier, here is your confirmation.

Rocky joined our family a little over a year ago. He was just the infusion of joy and hope that our pandemic-weary family needed! Rocky is the sweetest dog ever. He's smart, loving, and mischievous in that way that all terrier owners understand. Rocky has brought so much laughter and happiness to our family that it’s hard to imagine our family without him. Thank you Premier Pups for sending us such a wonderful, healthy, happy puppy. We love Rocky dearly!

I guess what everyone wants to know is about shipping... Shipping went well. There was a minor mishap with her original flight and I was notified IMMEDIATELY. Like 4am in the morning immediately. She was driven from Ohio to Chicago... from Chicago she was flown to Arizona. Her nanny was so sweet! She was about 2lbs (or less) when I got her so I appreciate the extra precautions to make sure she got to me alive. I got calls, texts and emails making sure she was doing well. The emails were most helpful. They were super long and the extremely important information was in bold red. Lol. Long story short, I love her so much.

She’s currently 9 months old. She’s the sweetest little girl. Pretty daunting at first caring for her at 1.17lbs but she’s all happy at 5lbs now. She’s the best napping buddy ever!

I have already posted one review, but thought I’d provide an update. We have had Chaise now for over 2 years and he is the sweetest little guy. He brings so much love and plenty of laughs in our lives. I can’t thank Premier Pups enough for being accommodating and providing us with the best little baby.

We adopted Maisy (Avery) one year ago today! She was our second adoption from Premier Pups. Her sister Mila, is pictured and is a Morkie. While the experience this time was a little different due to Covid 19, it was still professional and pain free. I truly appreciate the follow up after the pups were home. They were both tiny, and we were nervous as first and then second time dog owners. Our feeding questions were answered and both pups are now full grown and healthy! They love to snuggle and play! Thank you, Premier Pups!
