Interesting post - I'm not sure what brought this on. I will say that I am probably one of the people here who would not qualify to own one of their Yorkies because I have children at home. I was lucky that the breeder I found made calls to both my vet and the shelter I volunteer at before allowing me to purchase Tia. I had been turned away many times, without the breeder looking into my background, which didn't offend me but did make me sad.

It does go both ways. I always say there is an exception to every rule and we should all be careful before making blanket statements.

As to the Teacup craze, there are, sadly, many people who just are not educated in the least as to what owning a dog means, and the proper termanoligy to use. Kelly, I think your babies are adorable and I think it's very obvious the care and time you take with your Yorkies. I'm sorry if someone here has offended you.
