I feel bad you all were taken advantage of but honestly - you're taking a big chance with the many Internet Breeders out there

I'm saying this and will shut up - IF you did get a yorkie that is larger than the standard - be happy if he/she is healthy. Think of all the sick puppies we're seeing now - Too many are dying and have serious health issues - so in MY (humble) opinion - Why not be grateful you have a healthy yorkie...

ok...Stepping away from the coffee now....
Yeah! So, glad you posted this, and I'm in total agreement with you. So, many people wanting a yorkie or have adopted a yorkie from an internet breeder think you can just push a button and out comes the yorkie you have put in an order for. Reputable breeders do not and I say do not breed for tinies (too many health issues may occurr). No such thing as a teacup, read the standard, this is just an advertising ploy to bring in the bucks. Size is unpredictable in this breed. Parents do not determine size.
