There are tons of people who search for a smaller size or larger size yorkies for many reasons and there is NOTHING wrong with that. Teacups I know it's not healthy but as the yorkie is a range of 4 to 40 lbs it is very reasonable to want one leaning under a certain size of if you want one above a certain size as that is can play a factor to many people who is looking to get a new family member. As long as it's healthy and the bloodline is healthy I don't see why you have to talk about sickly or tiny puppies. I agree with you guys about teacups which means to me under 2.5 lbs but I'm not even getting one or want a teacup lol |
Actually, teacup is not under 2.5 lbs. I would put it an under 5 pounds. You don't have to do anything...I didn't ask you to defend yourself.
I am telling you that you are looking for a problem with this breeder. This is not a reputable breeder. Does it mean your puppy will be ill? No, not really; but, I would say it is more at risk of being so. I don't care where the puppy is raised...in a barn or a home it isn't in the best interest of the pups to breed puppies the way this person is.
Sickly? I am not just talking about sickly...I am talking about puppies with congenital conditions and you will never convince me that this person is breeding healthy puppies. No one who cares about the breed would put a 2.8 pound female through a pregnancy.
Looking for 3-5 pounds is looking for under standard. No matter what tag you put on it....tiny, teacup...matters not.
I said it before and let me repeat myself. I shared my thoughts and my experiences with you.....and I don't wish that you will have a sick puppy. I hope your puppy is healthy. I just feel he/she is a high risk puppy is all. Your choice. BUT I am not going to just sit on my hands here and not warn you...or anyone else who might come along and read this.
