Hi there and welcome to this site. I'm new here too. I just picked up my little girl, Darla; this past Wednesday. Getting a new puppy is certainly exciting. When it comes to looking for a "teacup" or "micro" sized Yorkie, stay away from breeders who use those terms. All Yorkies are in the toy classification. The AKC doesn't recognize the term "teacup" so reputable breeders will not use this term either. In addition I'd like to say that on average Yorkies get to be about 7 lbs, at least that's what I've read. A mother who is 7 lbs and a dad who is 7 lbs can have a 3 lbs Yorkie. It's really luck of the draw as to what size they turn out to be as adults. That said you can hope for a 3 lbs Yorkie but prepare for the potential of getting a 7-10 lbs Yorkie. Even the ones who advertise a puppy as teacup or micro can't guarantee it. They just use small dams and sires and hope to produce abnormally small puppies. Which also breeds bad health problems. Just go into it with an open mind and find a reputable breeder period and don't put as much emphasis on the size the dog will be at adult maturity. |
