I had to google the site to see the "teaspoon" yorkies. I will follow your lead and not list the link just so I won't give her any unintended advertising. She is calling those she THINKS will be 2.5 pounds and less a teaspoon. Her site is all about size! Can't count all the times she refers to their size! The one she is now selling as a teaspoon is 2 pounds 1 ounce at 5 months old -- that actually charts much closer to 3 pounds than 2.5 but it is still just a huge GUESStimate. The pup could just as well have a growth spurt and wind up being the largest of the litter. To pay almost $3000 for that pup would be insane. Look at her male, she is so proud of -- no way is he within yorkie standards. He is cute -- I think they all are -- but breeding quality -- no way! Color, face shape, body shape and proportions -- all off. She uses him for one reason, to try for the smaller pups. Then she actually has the audacity to mention show potentials on her site! Really? I don't think so.
It is fine to want a small yorkie. But better to get one that just happens to be on the small side, from a good ethical breeder who breeds for the standard and not just to see how small of pups they can make.
She mentions a "replacement" guarantee for genetic faults up to a year. Breeders know that is like no warranty at all. Who is going to want to trade in their dog after they have bonded and fallen in love with them. How about a life time genetic guarantee that offers to help with the actual vet expenses? But hey, they come with a puppy pack and a blankie! Anything for a buck! Sad. |
