By rare, I meant you don't see them as often as the standard colored yorkie or the standard sized yorkie. I did do my fair share of research, trust me. I started my search in Februrary, and literally spent a few hours everyday perusing websites and looking at all kinds of yorkies. I didn't make my purchase until April, so it definitely wasn't done without lots of forethought. Though...obviously not enough.
I just want you to be cautious that's all..Alot of times people that are buying this breed are so misinformed and when told they are getting a "rare" chocolate or "teacup" don't mind spending the extra cash on them...Yorkies are NOT an inexpensive breed, as we all know, and I HATE hearing of people getting taken by these terms. And, it happens all the time..I am glad to hear you have done your research..I did as well before I bought my first but, I have learned more on YT than from any book that I have read..
