My sticking point is why some have such issues with a work that covers the really tiny bred dogs.....and no, not all that breed that size are bad people or doing anything wrong. Some are breeding healthy dogs within the Standard for the Breed. |
The only breeders who use the word teacup are bad breeders so if you use the word people will think it’s ok and normal and then buy from those breeders using the word and then we keep bad breeders in business. You absolutely will not find a good breeder who uses the word. Those breeders advertising teacups put the smallest dogs they can get together ignoring any health issues. They also use females under 5 pounds to breed which is extremely dangerous. Use the word if you want but when around other educated yorkie lovers it makes you seem like you don’t know much about yorkies. Reputable breeders do get tiny yorkies occasionally just like they occasionally get bigger yorkies and those in most cases are healthy.
