YT 1000 Club Member | Are you willing to pay $20,000 for a dog? Do you think that a celebrity will pay $12,000 for a dog? Even with a Lifetime replacement policy (accident or health problem)? And you are out of those thousands if you don't get a $35 health guarentee in 3 days! And that's just for a dog that's will be less than 3lbs full grown! Imagine if it was 2lbs full grown, will the price be $20,000? https://www.teacupandtoypetsboutique.com/Yorkie.html |

| I don't think a yorkie that weighs under 3 lbs will live to 17 years. That is a bit of a stretch. These 'teacup' places are scary. They reinforce the idea that it is acceptable to breed dogs this small. The general public knows no different. We told people when we were trying to find homes for our dogs that 'teacups' don't exist and extremely small yorkies are very likely to be unhealthy. What is scary, those people are still looking We suspect they will not be good owners.

YT 1000 Club Member | They have celebrity bloodlines? Why are the celebrities selling the puppies to them? And they may sell dogs that will be about 14oz (that may live up to 17yrs) full grown. Both will start at $15000 with papers! And what is even crazy is that I'm sure that people with tons of money would buy a dog for $20,000+ if they were bred from a dog from a celeb like Tom Cruise, Paris Hilton, etc. |

| How Sad.. Did you see all those breeds they are offering? On the Home Page you can sign up to Win A Puppy for their Grand Opening....makes me mad! Fancy web page, cute puppy pictures and celebrity endorsements to try to hide the fact that they are a puppy mill! Click on adoption information/ free puppies. They are actually trying to discourage you from adopting a shelter animal!

| I would definetly pay 20,000 for a yorkie. MINE !! He weighs 5 pounds, and to me and my husband is is made of the most precious substance in the world. He has the finest heart of gold, much bigger than his chest. His body is made up on tiny particles of pure love, held together by the strongest bonds of totally impartial adoration, and his body covering is made of the finest pure spun silk; this is all controlled by eyes that put sparkling stars to shame. Yes, he is worth 20,000 to us; but to pay 20,000 for a dog you have never seen, that will just be a status symbol until the next hot thing comes along is as stupid as robbing a bank in the nude; both will get you noticed; but neither is a very smart decision.

| oh this is just ridiculous. im so tired of these insane prices. so according to them, because my puppy is so tiny.. & HEALTHY, she is worth 12,000. i guess i hit the jackpot with how much i purchased her for and I didnt even have to pay extra for akc and ckc full registration papers! LOL i just noticed that they are actually selling pictures of the dogs as well.. HOW MUCH OF A GREEDER CAN YOU GET! jesus, they need to give it a break. Quote:
You know, just because you have money doesnt mean that you are not reasonable about what you spend your money on. If I were a super millionaire, id much rather spend that money investing in something or going on a little vacation. ironically ive seen this site before... i found it a few years ago when their prices werent so crazy. I havent been to the site in a long time and theyve added a lot. ive always been suspicious about their celebrity claims. I mean, why them? what makes their dogs so special that celebrities are clambering to buy dogs from them. It doesnt make sense to me.

And if I was rich, And I had the $13,000 to spend, I would buy a dog cheaper and send the rest to a shelter/rescue. But I think this site offers a lifetime guarentee where you get your money back or a replacement puppy in case of an accident or health problem. So, if you purchase a 2lber and he/she dies with in 2 years, you can get another, and another, until the expecting lifespan is up (which they say is 17years) | |

AMEN! All those flashy things are trying to cover something horrible. Good thing we know better. Of course one of the buying celebs just had to be Jessica Simpson....sheesh!
