I think that regardless of the terminology we use, people need to be educated on the "teacup ploy". People actually look for small yorkies from 3 or 4lb parents now just because they think that is a guarantee it will be that small. These people need to be educated on the fact that this is not the best way to find a healthy puppy and it's unethical breeding. They also need to know that is NOT a guarantee of getting a smaller yorkie and they will most likely be overpaying. Also, people need to know that there is more to looking for a healthy puppy than size alone. |
