When I first fell in love with the Yorkshire terrier 15 yrs ago...a friend of mine had a 10 lb girl and that was what I wanted, what I got was a 5.5 lb girl Bailey RIP I never had any health issue with her at all she was very healthy for almost 15 years and back than I had no computer or internet I got VERY lucky when I got Bailey...when I went on the search for Bella 2 1/2 yrs ago I was shocked
at all the health issues LP, CT, LS and many more...I did know about CT cause the breeder did tell me not to use a collier but a harness...but the further I went with my search I started finding teacup/tinie Yorkies...and I was like WTH is a teacup/tinie yorkie. I just want a normal standard Yorkie
and found there is no such thing as a teacup yorkie again I was shocked
that people would use that term just to get more money (greedy) pure and simple. I learned about the scams, people emailing me saying they have a pup for me and all I would have to do is pay for the shipping cost to get my pup...I never fell for it and still don't understand how people do
...1. don't you wanna see your pup in person and hold him/her. 2. seeing both parents. 3. seeing how your pup was raised (clean) 4. the most important one that your pup is healthy.
There are so many people out there calling our babies teacups and getting big bucks for them it just pi**es me off
...I hate it when someone looks at my babies and say oh they are soo cute are they teacups eeeeeeeee...I don't care if its rude or not I just state a fact. I look at them and say...a teacup is something you drink from these are my dogs and they are Yorkshire Terriers.
I would NEVER buy from any breeder that breeds for tinies or put teacup/tinies in front of yorkie. I prefer 5 lbs and up.
