To tell you the truth its the first time I'm designing. Its the only way to express myself and my love for my yorkie (: And I never made and sold shirts before. I'm just currently a uni student which will be drowned in debt to even start a business like that. haha xD But I am using an online platform to sell my shirts. Well it would really be great if i could turn my hobby into money right? And at the same time feel happy about people actually liking and buying my shirt!

It's a very, very negative term, actually, for those who are dedicated to this breed and advocate for it.
I'm sure you wouldn't want to support Puppy Mills, right? If not, I most definitely would not sell anything w/ teacup on it. There is just no such thing...the standard for the yorkie breed is anything 7 lbs or less. There is no weight that is deemed "teacup" by the breed club.
You're tshirts could be just wonderful - so don't give up  ! I'd just tweak them a bit to make sure they're promoting a positive message about the breed. |
I know., yeah I understood that part, the bad side of having <4lb yorkie, and how supporting them would support those greedy breeders,. But dont you think they looked different from yorkies? I mean their fur is not long, so I'm really surprised they are not a breed on their own at all. Well I'm not supporting them puppy mills, and how they cruelly experiment on yorkies, i agree its unethical. I actually feel sad for them, despite of how adorable dogs they are. I've changed the name of "teacup" I hope it is better now (: and thank you for the compliments!

I don't own a printing business, but there's an online platform to showcase and sell these t-shirts, I am just a student so I cant afford to be a donating member to post a link, but if I actually made some money out of it, I would really want to become a donating member here. Thanks! I will keep on making them on my free time! thank you guys for all the support!
I've designed a new one, I actually released it already and its on sale, the previous one with the dog quote and this fearless shirt for only $14, and I chose the premium material clothing so I think its a pretty good deal!
