I agree with you. I was concerned at first but my dog is very healthy and I had her checked out before I bought her. She was over a thousand but I just figured that is what Yorkies cost. And you are right, I had no idea of what was involved in the breed itself. I'm blessed and have the money to care for her in any way she needs.
I have always heard the word "teacup" to mean small, i.e. teacup poodles and so on. I have decided NOT to send the ACA any money to register my little lady. She wont be a "show dog" except for the show she puts on for us every night during our play time.
Thank you for the information you have given.
