Thanks for warning others. Unfortunately this is one of the things we were talking about in another thread about teacups. There is no way the breeder can be assured the adult size of a puppy. Responsible breeders will not tell you any certain weight. Teacup has no real meaning, way too many breeders claiming they sell teacups wind up selling puppies that do just as yours, grow over the yorkie standard. Responsbile breeders do not even use the teacup term in advertising.
This site is priceless for all the information it can give new puppy buyers. I wish I had know all this before I got my very first yorkie. She was sweet and I loved her as long as she lived but I had to spay her and just enjoy her as a pet. I too, believed! It is natural to want to think everyone is honest. Too bad so many are just out for our money. I do hope you enjoy your Yorkie even though you wound up with a big one and no papers. At least you may be saving others from this person's unethical practices. |
