I wanted to ask, since I can't find info: does anyone here, or can someone validate the life expectancy of a teacup morkie? This little fella is expected to be around 3lbs, his parents are the same weight. He's 10 weeks old and the size of a hamster. The breeder will keep him for at least another 3 weeks, but I wanted to know if anyone here has a teacup (any breed) and if they've experienced any unusual illnesses? The breeder assured me that their life expectancy is in line with yorkies and malteses, but I'm skeptical....these organs must be so small. And I don't think anyone has been breeding these tiny ones long enough to validate the lenght of their life...have they?
Thank you!

I have had a t-cup yorkie and only had her for less than a month and her heart failed. I do not recomend them.I know they are so cute but Your heart would break so fast if anything ever happened. Mine is still trying to mend over cricket. But I dont think it ever will. I would go with the good quality yorkie you found for $1500. Sounds like a very good price for something of quality that is hard to find in that price range. Good luck.
