As for her be willing to take the runt of the litter, well someone has to give them a home too.
That is the problem with using that term when you are selling. It makes people believe that it is a separate breed, not just a size description.
There is nothing wrong with the term in itself, it's the way it is used to extort money out of people that is wrong.
[B]When someon is selling one and describing it as a "teacup" they deserve to be bashed.
When someone is buying looking for a "teacup" they need to be educated so they aren't taken in by some slick advertising. |
VERY WELL SAID.
IF everyone stayed silent over certain words - then how are people new to yorkies ever going to know ??
I remember back when this site opened it was to share and LEARN about yorkies - telling someone there is no such breed as a teacup yorkie is helping them ....if it's said in the right way it shouldn't cause so much drama.
