Also some will sell as a teacup and as many have found out on this forum, end up with one very large yorkie sometimes not even in the breed standard size of under 7 lbs. |
Sorry for using the term, I won't again. I'm still learning all of this. And I'm doing tons of research before purchasing. I actually almost purchased one at a local pet store but something didn't set right with me. That's why I started investigating. I never realized people do some of the horrible things that they do. It discourages me. I'm so scared we'll buy from the wrong person
Thanks for the info!
