| I have not heard of them. But anyone that puts the word "teacup" in their title is do so just to attract customers. Although tiny dogs (and the one in the picture looks more like a stuffed animal) sounds great but delicate,tiny,not much bigger than an guine pig full grown is not a good breeding policy. People who do this on purpose do so to make money not because they want to stay within the breed standards. Good luck in your search. Possibly someone else will jump in with some better information. |

| I distinctly remember a thread about how disgusting they are, or was it some other pupmill/greeder site they all look the same after awhile. Those poor dogs! Seems brachycephalic issues are prevalent in their breeds huh? Breed standard conformation is out the flipping gene pool here! They definitely don't look like Yorkies, definitely don't look healthy, they don't look like dogs really either IMHO. Isn't it just absolutely sickening that scummy people are in control of animals? Kiki Hamann is lame IMHO also...

| JMO - You can tell from their site they are in business to make a profit from breeding dogs - multiple breeds. They are using the catch term "Teacups" to catch the attention of unsuspected buyers and are breeding way to small. Fact: There is a great risk to the mother if too small to breed her. Why would anyone intentional breed a girl that they know is too small and riisk her life just to produce smaller pups. Hmmmmm... Need I say more. I do not know this breeder, but I would never buy from them. |

| Those puppies (are they 'hello kitty' type? ) do genuinely creep me out... And $4000 for a pup? Surely that's theft!? If you are looking for a puppy, please run pas these people to the local breed clubs- best chance of a Healthy, cute pup! I read this in a signature on another forum, can't remember the exact wording, but something to the effect of... 'when you breed for beauty, you may get a beautiful dog, but little else; but breed for function, and you get a healthy functional dog, which happens to also be beautiful'.

I would think with you being a member here since 2008, you would know this breeder is wrong on so many levels. Legit, I highly doubt it.

| The thing about these types of sites/sellers, is that they always show you the tiniest little young puppies. They never show you what they turn out like as adults. All the yorkies I saw on there were estimated to be about 3lbs as adults. But where are these adults? Where are the happy owners of the now adult dogs? When I visited my breeder, she had pictures all over a wall in her den of dogs at various stages of their life, from people who had received puppies from her.

| I'd just like to know where they get such cute, poseable stuffed animals? I only glanced at first & thought a couple were fake but looking again they all look "empty" to me, which is sort of a relief that she really doesn't have pups like that...hopefully. Of course some people will drop 4K, who knows what they'll get.

| If you go to their actual website, on their home page it says, Christmas Special buy one puppy the the second 40 percent off. That just upset me, they aren't toys... My opinion, I would stay away from them.

| I found another one. Our Dogs and they're on to a broker in California. YES, so so happy! Folsom police seek forgery charges for puppy broker | news10.net I posted in another thread about these Korean breeders and teacup, by the way, but dropping my 2 cents in here as well. Exactly, 40% off for a second dog, it's awful how they do these things... |
