| Hello: Before you decide you want to get a abnoramally small Yorkie please consider the following. There is no such this as a teacup Yorkie, this term has been made up by irresponsible breeders, a Yorkie should be between 5-7 lbs. A small Yorkie 2-4 lbs that is bread to be small is really cruel in my opinion....they are more prone to health problems and so fragile....any breeder who advertises selling teacup anything is not a breeder that actually cares about their animals. |

| Getting a particularly small Yorkie is a lot of work.You are also looking at the possibility of constant vet visits and naturally large expenses as a result. As a general rule, the "teacup"(which don't actually exist) yorkies are just the product of underfed parents. Or particularly small dogs, for whom it is actually dangerous to have a litter. If you really want a small Yorkie, just go to a breeder and pick the smallest one of the litter. If you are interested, I am from Toronto, and I know a wonderful breeder in Grimsby. Here is her webside www.braecliff.com. She is a lovely woman who is truely concerned about her dogs. She has also raised over 30 champions over the years. Best of luck with finding your baby! |

| Yes , Donna from Braecliff is a very reputable breeder . Two of my friends went to her place to buy puppies and they were very impressed to meet her . It really shows that she loves her Yorkies . My friends really appreciated talking to her . I have had the chance to see some of her Yorkies at dogshows , they are splendid . |

| I have 2 yorkies one is 5 lbs and one is 4lbs and haven't had any health problems...(cross my fingers) they are very energetic and happy. The parents were between 4-6 lbs and my dogs where the average. None of the pups grew up to be less than 3 lbs and I'm glad I got my dogs on the smaller end of the scale because of my health I don't think I could lift a 15lb yorkie. (Maybe a larger yorkie wouldn't hide everything under my bed! he, he) I do agree that really small yorkies under 3lbs could have a short life be careful and good luck! |
