I googled teacups and Micro....everyhting you DONT do! I found a website offering two babies that were to be 2 pounds full grown. I drove 10 hours to pick up the feamle baby. When I got there, someone had beat me to her and her little brother was left. He was soooo little at 10 weeks. I fell in love. Today, Bevo is 2 1/2 years old. He stayed small (under 1 pound) until after he was a year old. Today, he weighs a big 4.5 pounds. I am so thankful he didnt stay teeny as he was "money back guaranteed to be". I now know how horrible this is. He is actually EXACTLY the size I had always dreamed of if not smaller. I cannot imagine owning a 2 pound dog. He is sooo very little even now. But, what I am getting at, is I can see the appeal to the other ignorant people out there. I was willing to pay anything for my dream dog...now I know better. I just wish there was a way to educate the public potential yorkie moms and dads of what a terrible mistake they may be making by buying these pitifull pups. I got lucky....too many more will not! |
Even if healthy, God forbid they do get sick, vetting a tiny is very difficult. Getting IV's in their tiny veins, drawing blood, even getting a thermometer in their tiny butts is difficult. And, they have such fragile resistance at such a tiny size.
