| Help finding a yorkie puppy? Hello all I'm new to yorkie talk and don't own a yorkie yet. I have one toy schnauzer. I live in Austin, Texas and am looking for a yorkie of my own In particular, I'm looking for a teacup baby to pamper. What's frustrating me to no end is that the only thing that stands between me and a precious furbaby is money. If anyone has affordable tinies available in Texas or can direct to one/help me find one, please post or e-mail me at lilyluvrcea@sbcglobal.net. Thank you lots guys! -Camille |

| Hi and welcome to YT! Good Luck in your puppy search, but please research this breed more. There is no such thing as a teacup yorkie. There is only one yorkie, a toy breed dog, that should be no larger than 7lbs according to the standard. You'll see ones on the smaller side and some larger than 7lbs..but they are all just yorkies. "Teacup" is a made-up term used by unethical breeders to make more money off of people that don't know any better. It's a scam. Please research and buy from a reputable breeder.

| Oh, I've heard that before, but thank you. I would never buy from an unethical breeder. I have an aunt who has the most precious, well-behaved, and healthy teacup-sized yorkie. I heard from her the breeder was wonderful (e.g. answered all her questions, sent home a puppy package, etc.). But, my point is that while 'teacup' is a made up term, the good breeders would only use it to describe the puppy's and the parent's size. |

| Thank you all! I haven't seen any breeders in Austin unfortunately. I will definetely be careful when looking at puppies. When I was searching for my schnauzer I called this HORRIBLE mill and it when I asked about the sizes all I got was "One's a little big, and the other's smaller." When we asked about the health, he said that "I could take the puppy to to vet if I found anything wrong". I could already tell what I would find when I looked there, adn hung up right then. Again, thanks! |

| I highly recommend calling one of these breeders that are members of the YTCA. There are a few in the Austin area and several in TX Yorkshire Terrier Club of America About The Club

| Have you checked the Austin American Statesman. I got both of my yorkies by looking in the paper. They were at a reasonable price and came from good homes, they are calm and learn quick. |
