I think breeders should only state they breed for standard, that's what they should strive for.
Yorkies are small, the breed standard is small. So why do you need to point that out by using words like "teacup" or "purse puppy."
I do agree buyers need to take responsibility as well, they should be looking for the breed standard when buying a puppy! |
Disagree with what the people in my area are doing it to make money? Some breeders I know are not even getting $500 a pup here..even their teacup ones. So I don't think they are doing it for money..If they are and didn't use that term they would have to give them away the economy is so bad. Like I said that is not always the case. Since the world wide web has came along things have change and ALOT of online people do it to make money. I am not disagreeing there. If the word teacup is the only red flag I just say call and talk to them if the pups look nice and they are resonably price.. you might be surprised.
I have had several people call me and say " Are they teacup" I tell them well they are standard 4-7 pounds. I don't even try to explain anymore because it is in there head and they think your full of it. Then next question is price and I get hung up on...
