I had no idea Yorkies were so commonly mixed with Chihuahuas. That explains some of the huge ears I see in pictures here. 
I know poorly bred Maltese often have Bichon in their background. Bichons are larger so they have less complicated deliveries and produce more puppies, just what greeders want. Those puppies grow up to be supersized (over ten pounds) adults with curly coats, not what their naive owners thought they were getting. |
I read somewhere that people were throwing Chihuahuas in with Yorkies to produce smaller version Yorkies.........."teacups" are so marketable...but apparently the term is made up...like the inexperienced breeder of my male said "a Yorkie is a Yorkie, no such thing as a teacup!!!!"
