Judege Joe Brown settles the case of the teacups. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

DvlshAngel985 · 08-05-2009, 09:37 AM

Today I turned on the TV and guess what I saw... Judge Joe Brown had 2 women in his courtroom arguing that their dogs were not teacups. While this may be a poor way to educate the public, it did bring up some good points. The girls were upset their dogs did not stay small, and in the end it was determined that no one can guarantee the size of a living creature.
I'm trying to find a vid but this is the best I can find so far... Judge Joe Brown - This Week in Court
I'll keep looking for a vid since I think some of you will find this funny (I sure did).

Hopefully it'll teach some people the word T-cup is just a marketing ploy, but I doubt it.

I clicked on the link you provided and you can then watch the video, yes, too funny! Had the women done thier homework, they would of known you can't determine size, duh... It's a shame sellers use that tatic (teacup) to promote sales.

Its also ODD that at the very bottom of this page is an add for guess what? Teacup Yorkies. Right here on YT of all places

advertisement for Teacups.ClassifiedAds.com.

If someone was trying to educate themselves as told by many YT'rs and then see this at the bottom of our YT what kind of message is this going to send that person?

I am watching this now and I would have to say that the breeder is a snake. She said that when she sells them as a puppy that they are a teacup and that no adult size dog is that small. If that is the case any puppy would be a teacup. This lady saw a sucker coming from a mile away. I am not excusing the two sisters at all they did research on teacups but only after their dogs got to big.
This is a good exaple to reasurch the dog breed before you buy one.

I don't have that on my page. It's probably your browser inserting the ad. That's what the ads are on my page. It's certainly not YT.

Just as an aside...there are GoogleAds at the bottom of my page and they show up advertising Teacup Yorkies. My uneducated guess is that this is because of the topic of the thread. I think GoogleAds pulls key words from what you're looking at and advertises to that topic. I could be completely crazy though!!!

You're so right, I noticed that at the bottom of this page too. I see people believe what they want too. Tiny and teacups sale, so breeders and whoever is saleing will continue to use those words.

I saw that too. Only the puppies are teacups..... really? There were so many things that both the defendant and plaintiff in that "case" said that is typical of what we hear about teacups. I'm just glad that the "expert" did discredit the claim of the teacup.

You're not crazy at all -- that is exactly what happens. I get a kick out the ads. Most of the time they are yorkie related, but every once in a while the program picks an off the wall word and matches it with an ad that has nothign to do with yorkies. None come to mind right now, but I know I have had a chuckle or two over the years.

The show is on here right now. Maltipoos lol. Do these girls not realize what a poodle is?

And they are suing because the dog weighs 2lb more than she wants it to? What a silly case!
