'teacup' is a made up term, the good breeders would only use it to describe the puppy's and the parent's size. |
"good breeders" dont breed "teacup sized" Yorkies, so they should NEVER be using that term to describe "the PARENTS size"!!!! "Good breeders" KNOW that you do NOT get "teacup sized yorkies" by breeding little tiny undersized runts...size of the puppies is determined by the genetics BEHIND the breeding pair....."good breeders" know this. And besides, "teacup" is a relative term...what YOU call "teacup" may not be what I consider "teacup"(runt)....you need to drop that term from your vocabulary and instead learn what size dog you want, and use that to describe what you are wanting. I am not trying to harrass you or split hairs....knowledge is power and when you are fluent in "Yorkie talk", you will be able to spot unethical breeders just by the way they speak and the terminology they use.
