Luca Dean is 5 months and the word "teacup" was [thankgod] never mentioned when I spoke with the seller [her sick, pregnant sister- in- law was the breeder and had been so morning sick she was unable to get out of bed for long periods of time.] The breeder was apparently a good breeder though - talked to her on phone briefly.
So, I actually got a deal on Luca Dean because he was already 5 months old and the breeder knew her sis-in-law wasn't able to groom the pup and he was being kept outside. Breeder therefore reduced price. People want "puppies." I guess people no longer considered a 5 month old a puppy. He is registered and will be within AKC weight range for showing, but his personality is not "show dog" type. He's a bit shy and tenative. And he has bat ears. But he is our new love nonetheless!!! Anyway, he was $675. I was prepared to pay more, but my fiance would not let me pay more than $1000 for a yorkie unless it was show quality or championship bloodline. Anyway, we love Luca Dean and he's going to be probably around 6 lbs. I am so glad I got a yorkie this size, because we have an active household with other pets and my yorkie just wouldn't have done well if he were much smaller than he is now. |
