when you get a puppy - that puppy has to fit into the lifestyle the person is living and there are WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too many out there that have NO freakin idea how much work a yorkie can be - even a standard size one

but sadder to me is all the people who have no clue about caring for a tiny tiny dog.... yet they 'want' one.

Thank the unethical breeders out there throwing around the word Teacup like it's a BREED of yorkie... and then thank the people who don't know better & pay more money for that WORD - and there you have a bunch of thanked people who STILL think a 'TEACUP' would be a cool dog to have.

(I won't even mention the breeders who breed tinies intentionally) and yes they ARE out there. Which is WHY there are so many sick little yorkies

It's now a fad to have one and that just SUCKS for the breed in general.


Yes, I call it Yorkierexia - having an unrealistic and unhealthy vision of a Yorkshire Terrier.
