Animal Smiley 019 teacup

I agree - boy got a lot of discussion on this topic. Of course there is no such thing as a teacup in yorkies - are they poodles? no. So no teacups. You said she was about 4 weeks old? You still can't tell yet. I have had very small or tiny puppies, but catch up in their 6th week or more. Rule of thumb is double their weight at 12 weeks. But remember this is not a guarantee - just something we go by and it has helped me. If she does stay small/tiny/teacup? If you sell her - sell her only at an older age - maybe 5 months and sell with a written contract to spay and with limited registration - can't win any points on this one at shows because of her size. I had a beautiful small female 4 pounds I was trying to show from Jacolyn=Kibets line. Wow, she was something else and loved to be shown. Well, at one show - she didn't even place and should have got 1st, so I asked the judge nicely later on and she said to me that she would rather the points go to a bitch that could produce a litter later. She didn't want to waste the points. I agreed after thinking about it - she was right. A limited registration - just means they cannot show or breed her.
