ok to the question:
what's the fuss about teacups or no teacups? i have understood already that there's no such thing as teacup yorkshire terrier but then why do i see dog owners - selling their pups - calling them teacups? if they are legit (which i'm fairly convinced they are) then they shouldn't be calling them that if it's not technically correct right?
also i see that there is an actual difference in size between them, the "teacups" apparently don't grow much bigger than their puppy size and the standard yorkie grows to be small-medium size dog.
i know it complicated, sorry for not making it even clearer.
please give me as much information as you can.
Thanks to everybody.   |
Hi there and welcome ! I think you answered your own question ! Teacup is a selling word - We'll probably always see the word but try to look at it as a red flag when searching for a yorkie - they can use that word to gouge you on prices.
Many people bought into the 'word' and end up with an average standard little yorkie - which is fine.
Some with tinies can tell you - it's kind of scary to have such a little one - I have standard size and that's what I wanted. My Cheri is 5 lbs and to me that IS tiny.
