This will get flamed but think about this as I am pointing out a fact not taking a position.
There is NO such thing as a teacup or tiny teacup, toy, etc... at least not with AKC or any other body.... Most will agree on that... BUT why do people use those terms? Because they are looking for A small or super small pet yorkie... why have we received over 50 emails about her in the last few day? They are in demand...no matter what your opinion is.
Question: A couple people have asked if we will sell her unaltered with full AKC... with the condition that if a vet "OK's" them to breed her...and only then would they consider be able to do breed her.
Answer: She is unbreedable, and despite my distrust of most vets... I could pick up the phone and find one that would tell me it was OK, but not advised within 10 min. So the answer is no. |
Maybe having her spayed before she goes to a new home would be a good option. I know there are a lot of people that would want to get her and then see about breeding. I ran in to a woman a couple years back that had a 1 year old yorkie that was barely 1 lb and I said what a cute pup. she said she's 1 and shes a lb and shes going to have a baby. I told her that could kill the dog, but, she said well the vet said he would do a c-section, so, this goes to show me some people will infact breed them that small. At least this way when anyone calls about her, you can say she's already spayed and then, if they're not interested, you'll know they were looking to use her for breeding.
