This is really a very good Chat forum dedicated to Yorkies, and all of you are very helpful, I thank you all. I am in Fairfax VA near the Nation's Capital, and I had to drive 4 hours one way, to go and purchase what I was seeking, a female AKC "Tea Cup" and so I went to the internet and I was looking at all the Virginia all counties and cities and found one in Castlewood VA 17 miles from NC and 30 miles from Kentucky. The breeder assured me that it is a "Tiny" a "TeaCup" I paid $1100.00 I received the AKC plus VET papers, no complains about these two items, but now I am looking at Duchess and although I am VERY attached to her and love her, I see that her size doubled! She is very healthy and very happy, but I was not expecting for her to grow so fast, she was born on APR 06 2007. I now feel I was taken for a ride about this business of TeaCup, and so my question to the group is:
Should I complain to the Breeder? (but I still want to keep Duchess) Should I complain to the AKC? (I already received the papers from the AKC) This is my very first dog, sorry I am new at this. The reason I drove so far, is because in the Washington Post the TeaCup cost about $1700.00 and so I thought I was getting a good bargain going to visit parts of my state that I have never been plus getting a puppy, plus JUNE was a good driving in the mountains. I am confused!
