From my experience you can't believe most breeders when they tell you a dog is going to be tiny. Usually they say that and the dog ends up being normal size. So I usually ignore the weight and look at the dog or weigh it myself and talk with my vet. So many breeders claim their dogs don't get past 2 pounds and then you talk to people that own the dogs and they are like 4 or 5 full grown. Also, some breeders are saying the dog is full grown at 6months and I have never had a dog that completely stopped growing at 6 months. Sometimes when you get it they are not feeding it properly either so it will gain when you take it home. Or they are selling you a dog that is younger than they are saying it is. I'm not new to tiny dogs I know breeders can play tricks. My main concern is a healthy dog.
If you aren't looking for tiny but are looking for healthy, the two websites you posted or ones like those are not where you are going to find yourself dealing with someone reputable.
Why not find a reputable breeder who isn't a broker and doesn't advertise teacups, etc and does give health guarantees that they will honor? And is honest about their dogs and knows their lines very well?

I use to have a plant business, and I bought the pots from a potter, one day while visiting his shop, he said that he was going to throw away two pots that didn't come out right. He said that I could have them for free. I decided to test this snob appeal theory, and doubled the price of the ugly pots. Sure enough, they were the first ones that sold at the plant party, bought by someone who was extremely label conscious. It's like she had no real taste of her own, but if something was expensive, she thought it must be more valuable or better than the other things. So, when buying a pet, beware of advertising gimmicks used to set a breeder apart from the others. There are certain qualities you should look for in a breeder, if you do this, you can be pretty sure of getting a fabulous dog, that is the size you want.
That is an excellent observation Nancy and you are absolutely right in what you have figured out here.
Unfortunately, people that are 'label' consious don't care if they are buying plant pots, clothing items, or live animals like a 'teacup' Yorkie. Unfortunately, the tiny yorkie is not actually an accessory like a bracelet but actually requires a lot of extra care, cannot be carted around in a bag all day. Unfortunately, many with this type of personality soon lose interest in their purchases including a puppy especially when it poops and guess what, poop stinks.
All that is why I will never entertain the idea of selling to someone purposely looking for a 'teacup' or want as small as they can find despite my warnings. Yes, occasionally I have ended up with something that is 3 1/2 to less than 5 lbs full size, but I never breed purposely for them and they don't go anywhere until about a year old, already spay/neutered, health checked.

Very True
 
Even the man that I met at the vet's office with his tiny yorkie has to worry about hypoglycemia and anything else that comes up. It's suppose to be less than two pound full grown. But, I guess they wanted a "teaspoon" and paid the price. He regrets it... I don't think people really think about it before they jump into buying such a small dog....and spending so much money... He said that out of the whole litter, his was suppose to be the healthiest...

OMG!!! I could see my husbad if I told him I found a puppy that we have to make payments on!!!:eek::eek: I think she charges so much to pay for her meds...She's insane!!! $7000.00 for a puppy who is not champion sired or have champions in their Bloodline... Did'nt you love the way her site glitters, it's from all the gold she's charging for her puppies!! The way our economy is and people pay that for a puppy???? I feel sorry for the little darlings. I'd stay clear of her, She seems to be in it for the $$$ and not for the LOVE of the breed!!!!! How VERY sad....:twocents::cry2:

I decided to check out Courtash yorkies. I guess she isn't getting her prices.
Check out this ad on Kijiji

Lol That's funny!
 
$650 - $700 is a Biggggg difference from her website of $6500 - $7000 for a puppy. Like I said in an earlier post, someone told me that she never receives that much, but actually places that price on her website after the pup has sold. It does give people the impression that her future pups are "valued" that much more than others and some people may actually be willing to pay the price.

Her prices posted on puppyfind.com for the exact same puppies are alot higher. Very inconsistent.

I know, I did see that little trade proposal. Yikes! Kind of indicates how much these puppies are valued for good home placement, not!

Litllam88 12-31-2008 03:11 PM
As far as I know, the only time a dog is sold for over $5000 (and sometimes more) is if it is a Champion (possibly multi-CH, ROM, ROMX), has an outstanding pedigree, is high profile (on magazines, calendars, articles etc.) and in high demand by other breeders.

I don't believe any of her dogs meet any of these...

I purchased a healthy 2.5lb yorkie from Teddybear faces!!!
 
I have purchased a healthy 2.5lb Yorkie from Teddy bear Faces! Let me start by saying they are truly wonderful too there dogs. They don't have all the info on the site because they want you to contact them if you’re interested. They do refuse to give you a dog if they feel that you can't provide a good home. There just like any reputable breeder they do want to make sure your going to take care of their dogs. AKC sent me papers that showed both her parent are champion show dogs. I can understand allot of people wouldn't pay that much for a dog but that’s people's choice. I flew to LA where Teddy bear Faces is located and saw how clean and caring they are. They are very welcome to it! You just really need to communicate with the owner if you’re truly interested. I've talked to many Reputable breeder and allot of them will up the price on a smaller dog because that’s what most people want. I'm not speaking for everyone but I bought from Teddy Bear Faces and I couldn't be happier!

I'm always a little suspicious when someone's first post recommends a breeder, how old is your dog? How did you find Yorkietalk?

Emmalove 01-16-2009 10:37 AM

Well, I know a website, has the capability to know where they are getting their hits from, and since this thread has a link to Teddy Bear Faces, they could easily find this thread. Sometimes the breeders will respond to negative threads, and have their friends respond as well, vouching for them. They always act like they just have happened along and found the thread. Glad your experience was positive, but even a poor breeder occasionally gets lucky.

Yorkiekids 01-16-2009 04:19 PM
I would definetly not pay those prices.

TopFlash 03-16-2009 04:21 PM
Teddy Bear Faces I would trust. NOT Courtash ! She is a big scammer and puppy mill. Can you say FILTH ????? Her teacups end up 5 and 6 lbs.
