WHY does everyone want a "teacup"??????

[red98vett]

It IS SAD. People seem obsessed with size when they should be thinking about the FIT For the family (or whoever is buying a new dog). It's a LIFESTYLE DECISION .....I personally don't have tinies but Cheri is plenty small for me....anything less would be a constant worry.

when you get a puppy - that puppy has to fit into the lifestyle the person is living and there are WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too many out there that have NO freakin idea how much work a yorkie can be - even a standard size one

but sadder to me is all the people who have no clue about caring for a tiny tiny dog.... yet they 'want' one.

Thank the unethical breeders out there throwing around the word Teacup like it's a BREED of yorkie... and then thank the people who don't know better & pay more money for that WORD - and there you have a bunch of thanked people who STILL think a 'TEACUP' would be a cool dog to have.

(I won't even mention the breeders who breed tinies intentionally) and yes they ARE out there. Which is WHY there are so many sick little yorkies

It's now a fad to have one and that just SUCKS for the breed in general.

Yes, I call it Yorkierexia - having an unrealistic and unhealthy vision of a Yorkshire Terrier.

I have a little girl a little over 3 1/2 lbs and people just fawn over her. Like she is a doll or something. They always are asking me if I am going to breed her and I always say the same thing....NO.. she is too tiny and too precious to me. A couple people have told me the their friends have yorkies but they are SO BIG compared to her. I always tell them I was told that she was going to be bigger but she just never got any bigger. She was suppose to be about 5 or 6 lbs but just didnt happen. I have two young children and even though she is a GREAT fit into our family, I still worry about her constantly.
