Always good to have some knowledge.. |
That was like the very first thing I learned when I started researching them, that there is no such thing as a "teacup" yorkie, and trust me, if a breeder does try to sell me a "teacup" i will let them know that I know whats up with that
BUt speaking of "teacup" yorkies, how come some yorkies are over 10lbs and others are under 4lbs...isnt standard 4-7lbs? How does this work? How are some so small?
