I also agree with the others - it is really not responsible to breed 'teacup Yorkies' I know they look very cute, but they can and do suffer so many health issues and you need to be so careful with them. For example,they can easily break their ribs or legs, falling off a bed and I heard of someone stepping on theirs and it died a terrible death. Tootsy is a normal healthy size and I find I have frequently just stopped myself stepping on her. She would be unlikely to die from it, but a teacup would. It is a real commitment to care for one of these tiny dogs. Someone I met who had one said that it was like caring for a premature baby. Your vet bills may be higher than with a normal size Yorkie, so you need to keep that in mind, too. Remember, you will become so attached to the little dog and if it has a short life, due to it's health issues or an accident, you are going to be heartbroken. You will be far better off with a normal size Yorkie and you will find them just as cute, believe me. They have such sweet natures and are so loving and adorable. They steal your heart away in no time at all.
