the reason for me wanting a smaller dog was simple i have a little boy and iam scared of him getting hurt badly off a dog so the smaller the less harm if this did happen which wouldnt because bella is so soft with him.
i dont mean to offend people but you have to understand how offened people who have these mins/teacup yorkies get when we read threads like this with comments like your dogs sickly, your dogs a runt it shouldnt be registered ect ect.
i dont like the fact breeders cut off a puppies dew claw and tails but so what its their choice and buying a mini is ours so please dont slag them off because we get upset  ( dew claw and tail removal is illegal in england thank god  ) |
No we are not saying bad on the smaller babies, we are saying it's bad news when the
breeder calls them teacups, to charge more money. And what's smaller than a teacup? well a teaspoon of course, so of course they are going to charge even
more money for it. That is what we don't like.
It is also the unknowing public out there that thinks teacup is an official term to describe them. This just shows the lack of education out there, for people to be scammed. Also breeders will sell regular sized yorkies too young, and claiming they are teacup, charging more money. I have lots of people I know that say "Well he was
supposed to be a teacup."
Oh, also when breeders purposely breed for the extreme small size, that's not good.
