Whether we like it or not the teacup Yorkies are here to stay! I would not be surprised if AKC. one of these years will recognize the teacup!? |
That's just the thing, though- all a "teacup" is, is a way of price gouging consumers. There is no such thing as a teacup, just a dog that happens to be very small. There's no way of guaranteeing the size of the dog, so if that "teacup" you just bought, ends up being 5 or 6 pounds, which is still within the breed standard, then what? You paid $3000 for a dog that a reputable breeder would have charged maybe $1500 for. That's cool.
A reputable breeder wouldn't charge more than $2,000 tops for any size dog, because they breed for standard and health, not for size. Paying more than that for any dog is plain foolish, imo.
