Donating YT 4000 Club Member | The first clue that this is a place to avoid is on the home page. Teacup, micro and pocket pups are all code words for dogs that are too small. AKC doesn't recognize a "teacup" distinction. And a really good breeder wouldn't sell such small dogs because they are at much higher risk for long term health problems.

| I couldnt get past the homepage..."you'll never find smaller..." A reputable breeder does not intentionally breed for tinies. I would advise against this website.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | You have another thread asking about a breeder in Missouri. Several yt members warned you to stay away from that breeder and to be aware of key words disreputable breeders use as marketing ploys, words like teacup, micro, mini, etc. I can not stress to you strongly enough to please read what others posted to you. Educate yourself much further before purchasing your new puppy.....it could save you much heartache later on! Info Beamer's mom posted on the other thread.....please read it. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/fea...ead-first.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/fea...ease-read.html[/QUOTE]

I wholeheartedly agree. In your other thread you were given great info on how to find a reputable breeder in your area. #1 rule is to buy local, so you can check everything out personally. #2 Buy your breeder first, and then the puppy. You want to find someone that will be there for you for at least 15+ years. Someone who will take back a puppy at any point in the puppy's life. Please read all the stickies at the top of the "For Sale" forum. It has a lot of helpful information.

| Take Advantage of the "LifeTime Guarantee" Offered exclusively at TinyTeacupWorld *** Included *** TinyTeaCupWorld will automatically cover your puppy for an entire year and will guarantee your TeaCup Puppy against Congenital Defects Only. This coverage will be valid and will take effect only if your puppy has visited a licensed vet within 48 hrs (business days) of your purchase. If not, the one year guarantee will be void,no exception. A proof will be needed if the Policy is in question, and we will call your vet to verify this information. Remember that in order to make a claim , we will need a death certificate and cause of death.Also a proof that an autopsy has been performed is required in order to proceed with the claim. . What is the Guarantee...puppy replacement, money returned, support? What? *** Additional / Optional *** [B]We are now offering a " LifeTime Guarantee " at an additional cost . This Guarantee will cover the Entire Life of your TeaCup Puppy should something happen to him / her throughout its Entire life. The LifeTime Guarantee is additional , It must be purchased at the time of purchase and before your teacup puppy leaves our facility . The cost for this guarantee is $250 and this offer will be added to your total if one decides to purchase it . The LifeTime Guarantee will give you a chance to replace your teacup puppy at 40% off on your next purchase through us ,should something unfortunate might happen to your puppy.[/B Wow 40%.....off your next pup? More money. Reputable breeders will always reduce fee to repeat buyers. However, they will access a situation, if a pet was lost through an accident before placing another pet with the pet owners. Others have already given you excellent advice. Micro mini, teacup, are definate red flags....but, that maybe what attracted you to this breeder.....You need to do some more research in these tinies. And remember no reputable breeds for tinies or will sell tinies, they are placed in preapproved homes, that understand the care of tinies, at no fee. As these breeders do not want to sell the possibility of heartache.

| My suggestion would be to look at breeders locally. There are plenty of breeders in Ma, RI, CT, NH that are in driving distant to you. Stay away from anyone that even mentions the word "teacup".

This one appears to be a broker: "often times we purchase them from home based hobby breeders" "We deal with many large and small breeders" | |

But, besides the knowledge of health issues, a reputable breeder will not sell these puppies, but place them in a knowlegable, caring home that understands these issues.
