I don't see why the word 'teacup' is such a bad word. Most people think a yorkie is a teacup anyway. When they see that they probaby just think small, which is what many are looking for. I know the word isn't proper, but so what?!

Just because someone breeds a small dog doesn't mean they are bad breeders, don't take proper care of them and use 4# females. Many use tiny boys and 5# females.

Just because someone is making more $$ on their pups is probably meaning they are making a living breeding Yorkies. Is that so wrong, if they are loved and well cared for?

I have become a good friend of Natalie. She has a set up in her home that is state of art and cares VERY much for her dogs. She lives and breathes and is practically home bound taking care of them. There are many, but they are very loved and well cared for. I have NEVER seen a little 4# female. The only small ones she has is the one she has kept for a pet. I have had 'run' of her home and been through every room. Everything is clean and perfect. I have always wondered how she does it all and yet keeps her dogs so well groomed. She also spends a fortune in vets and keeping them up to date with everything. When she sits down there are dogs all over her. She has perfect bookkeeping and records on everything.

I just get tired of people being so judgemental when they really don't know.

My little Libby is a 3# from Natalie. She is as healthy and full of spunk of any Yorkie I have ever had.

I was asked some years ago by Natalie to take a little fragile girl. She was probably one of those little tinies that usually don't live past a few days. Angel Baby would not give up. Natalie gave her to me when she was 6 mos old because she just couldn't give her the attention she needed, all of us thinking she would only live another few weeks. Well, I just lost her last spring at nearly 7 years old. The vets figured she had CP, could hardly walk, but she was wonderful and a joy every single day. She was smart and spunky in her little fragile way. She was 1.8 lb. The rest of that litter were 4-5#. CP is a birth injury, could have happened in the womb or in delivery. She is dearly missed.

Sorry I have rambled on, but obviously, I feel very strongly about this
