( yeah, yeah, I know there is no such thing as teacup so I guess we will just call them itty bitty .) My Yorkies ar 14 and 8 lbs. I have had no health issues at all with them and they are 4 and 5 years old. My vet always brags on their size and tells me what nice Yorkies I have. But why dont YOU tell me what breeders are doing to better the breed!
A good breeder breeds as close to the standard as possible and spays/neuters the ones who are not and sells them as pets. Google AKC yorkshire terrier breed standard for details.
