I Need the dirt on Yorkmont Yorkshire Terriers!

MYFAIRLACY

that does not excuse you from scamming uneducated people into paying more for a lie and doing a disservice to this breed by breeding undersized dogs

I DO NOT SCAM. I WILL NOT SELL TO ANY UNEDUCATED PERSON. YOU LIKE BIGGER DOGS THAT'S GREAT FOR YOU! I PERSONALLY LIKE SMALLER ONES BUT THAT HAAAVVVE TO BE HEALTHY. LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE LIKE SMALL DOGS TO.

I'm sorry but what does that have to do with breeding "teacup" yorkies??? This just seems really off-topic and not to be rude, but a little uneducated based on what I know of the dog as a species.

THIS HAS TO DO WITH ALL BREEDS OF DOMESTICATED DOGS. EVERY SINGLE ONE ORIGINATED FROM SOMETHING ELSE. You need to do more reading....no offense~

Origins
Main article: Origin of the domestic dog
Based on DNA evidence, the wolf ancestors of modern dogs diverged from other wolves about 100,000 years ago,[6][7] and dogs were domesticated from those wolf ancestors about 15,000 years ago.[8] This date would make dogs the first species to be domesticated by humans.

Evidence suggests that dogs were first domesticated in East Asia, possibly China,[9] and some of the peoples who entered North America took dogs with them from Asia.[9]

As humans migrated around the planet a variety of dog forms migrated with them. The agricultural revolution and subsequent urban revolution led to an increase in the dog population and a demand for specialization. These circumstances would provide the opportunity for selective breeding to create specialized working dogs and pets.


Ancestry and history of domestication
Main article: Origin of the domestic dog

This ancient mosaic, likely Roman, shows a large dog with a collar hunting a lion.Molecular systematics indicate that the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) descends from one or more populations of wild wolves (Canis lupus). As reflected in the nomenclature, dogs are descended from the wolf and are able to interbreed with wolves.

The relationship between human and canine has deep roots. Converging archaeological and genetic evidence indicate a time of domestication in the late Upper Paleolithic close to the Pleistocene/Holocene boundary, between 17,000 and 14,000 years ago. Fossil bone morphologies and genetic analysis of current and ancient dog and wolf populations have not yet been able to conclusively determine whether all dogs descend from a single domestication event, or whether dogs were domesticated independently in more than one location. Domesticated dogs may have interbred with local populations of wild wolves on several occasions (a process known in genetics as introgression).

The earliest dog fossils, two crania from Russia and a mandible from Germany, date from 13,000 to 17,000 years ago. Their likely ancestor is the large northern Holarctic wolf, Canis lupus lupus. Remains of smaller dogs from Mesolithic (Natufian) cave deposits in the Middle East, dated to around 12,000 years ago, have been interpreted as descendants of a lighter Southwest Asian wolf, Canis lupus Arabs. Rock art and skeletal remains indicate that by 14,000 years ago, dogs were present from North Africa across Eurasia to North America. Dog burials at the Mesolithic cemetery of Svaerdborg in Denmark suggest that in ancient Europe dogs were valued companions.

Genetic analyses have so far yielded divergent results. Vilà, Savolainen, and colleagues (1997) concluded that the ancestors of dogs split off from other wolves between 75,000 and 135,000 years ago, while a subsequent analysis by Savolainen et al. (2002) indicated a "common origin from a single gene pool for all dog populations" between 40,000 and 15,000 years ago in East Asia. Verginelli et al. (2005), however, suggest both sets of dates must be reevaluated in light of recent findings showing that poorly calibrated molecular clocks have systematically overestimated the age of geologically recent events. On balance, and in agreement with the archaeological evidence, 15,000 years ago is the most likely time for the wolf-dog divergence.[10]

because maybe other people like tiny dogs like I do.........

"Why continue the teacup scam? It's such a terrible disservice to our wonderful breed and is just a gimmick to get uneducated people to spend more money. Anyone who believes there is such thing as a teacup yorkie needs to do more research on the breed before they buy a puppy. It just makes me sick to my stomach to see a breeder purposely breeding tiny yorkies and selling them as "teacups" 4-7lbs is the perfect size for a yorkie..why in the world would you want to breed them smaller than that where their lives are put at risk every day because they are so tiny? I just wish people would be ethical and breed yorkies that are of an ideal size and stop with the teacup crap"

YOU MEAN LIKE TEACUP POODLES? MINIATURE POODLES? MINIATURE SCNAUZERS? THEY WEREN'T ALL THIS SIZE YOU KNOW.... Oh---You DON'T...

I think that if this thread doesn't have a valid review of the breeder mentioned in the TITLE then it should be closed.

I just want to say though, that I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would breed for "tinies"...I have a litter of puppies now from a 6.5 lb mom and a 3.5 lb dad, and they are all going to end up 4 lbs and under. I'm having to feed them around the clock, I just had one sugar drop on me yesterday, and they just simply SCARE me, especially at this age. That is why I DO NOT breed for tinies. Sometimes they end up that way...and the people I sell them to I make sure they're prepared for having a tiny and I prefer that they have experience doing so...but I would NEVER purposely breed them that way!

I have 2 babies of my own (Ryder and Faith) that are 2.5 lbs almost full grown, and I wish every day that they would GROW! I'm constantly having to watch them, carry them down the stairs, make sure they eat a certain amount a day, keep them off the doggie steps and furniture, etc. etc. etc. I would take a 5-7 lb dog ANY day over a little tiny one. They are cute and adorable...but they are SO hard to keep healthy for the very reason that they are just TOO small! We all love Yorkies, that's why we're here...but can you honestly sit there and tell me that you'd rather have a 2.5 lb dog that you were constantly worried about than a 6.5 lb dog that you didn't have to? And yes, a 6.5 lb dog is still small enough to carry around in a purse, trust me, I do it.

And why in the world you would want to breed a poor girl that is 2 or 3 lbs is beyond me...it's just pitiful...

[yorkiemom36]

I do not breed 2-3 lb Yorkies! I think everyone is getting an absolute wrong opinion and it is getting out of control! One of my little girls is just under 4 lbs, everyone else is 4 to 7. My boys are both under 3. They are the ones who help produce the tiny babies. I very VERY rarely ever have a Hypoglycemia issue. I am aware of this and if I were to have a baby like that, I'd keep him or her until the Vet give the okay to place and find a local home here with someone I can keep in touch with and tabs on the baby. I am not into hurting feelings.

I must say though, I think in order to produce a truer line of tinier dogs, there needs to be more selective qualified breeders grouping somehow in order to do this on a very serious select scale.

NOW--I hope EVERYONE reads this.... My origianal post was NOT to promote me. If any one of you had any bad ordeal with any other person and you were trying to help find enough information to help another person out, wouldn't you try to find a good resource to get that info????

This is WHY I cam to YorkieTalk!!!!! ASKING FOR HELP!!!!! NOT TO GET BASHED!!!! JUST HELP..HELP-PEOPLE!!! JEESH-----!

Just drop the darn "original issue". Please don't attack me. I JUST WANTED HELP FROM A SITE I HEARD WAS A GREAT PLACE TO GO AND THE PEOPLE WERE VERY NICE AND HELPFUL.............I have met a few nice people though at least.........

Um, There isn't any teacup poodles either... Maybe you mean toy? I believe they already bred Yorkies to be toys.... So you can't use that as an excuse as to why you are breeding them smaller... They are already as small as everyone think is safe...

IMO.... I really think you are breeding them so small because you want a higher price for them? On one of your videos you said your prices are around $3000-$5000 and are rarely lower (even for the ones that get to about 3.5lbs or higher)....
