From what I have read and heard is that teacups is just a fad word for sick, underweight, or abnormal puppy. Usually a puppy that is very tiny verses the normal pups in a litter, is sick or has some underlying problem. Also I have heard that the smaller the dog the shorter the life span as far as so called teacups go. Also vet bills, possibly of breaking legs etc, stepping on them, possible problems with hypoglacimea SPELLING? etc are high with a TINY TINY puppy or dog. I would think you would want a Yorkie on the smaller side but MAINLY healthy. I wanted the TINEST I could get until I done some reading and found all the problems with these TEACUPS in every breed. I wanted extremely small but I finally decided that 3 to 5 lbs is small for a Yorkie and that Paris is healthy happy FAT little girl and prefer to get a healthy pup than a TINY sick one. Be very cautious of people who advertize teacup because its just a hype to sell this TINY dog for more money.
Good luck in your search. God Bless |
