| I see they use the term "teacup", to charge more money for a puppy! |

| Never heard of them but it looks like they only have a few yorkies so maybe it isn't a puppy mill type situation. Maybe just a small breeder |

YT Addict | I looked at the site, IMO they look fine. I think they just use the terminoloy because that's what the buyers understand. They didn't list any specific yorkie as being a teacup if you look on the puppy page, they just listed the estimated weight. Only concern I would have is that they recommend Iams which is not a good food. |

| There isn't nearly enough information on her website to make a decision IMO. There is nothing about a health guarantee, no pedigree information, etc. I personally would never buy a puppy from someone who uses the term "teacup". She is either ignorant of the Yorkie standard or is using it as a marketing ploy, both of which are huge red flags. |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | It really becomes a fine line when checking into some of these sites. Not a lot of people understand the negative connotation associated with the classifications of Teacup. Were educating ourselves and others here at YT so we do understand the negativity associated with it. Hopefully the knowledge continues to spread. I don't really get to funky of a vibe from their site.
