Toys for my teacup
 

Just wanted to post on how great my experience was with xxxx. The Teacup Yorkie I received could not be cuter, and more healthy, she's such a cutie! Can't wait until I can post some pictures of her.. Does anyone have any advice on toys for the teacups? Thanks :)

No such thing as teacup. Try reading around a bit on here.

As for smaller toys, there are all kinds of smaller toys for smaller babies at Petco, Petsmart, Wal-mart... pretty much everywhere that carries doggy supplies.

Not taking the bait, lol. Not this early in the morning anyways. It's even too early for popcorn yet, so I will just sit back and sip my coffee for a bit. :)

Good Morning!
You can find small toys at Petsmart, too!!....... Actually my Yorkies like to have some of the bigger toys...... they drag them around!!! :p

...... Teacup... is a term that some breeders use for small Yorkies. It isn't a real popular term here on Yorkietalk..... because breeders will charge MORE for a dog that is smaller..... the standard for a Yorkie is 4-7 pounds. Many irresponsible breeders will breed for tinys, not taking in consideration of the health issues that they can have. A big problem with the Yorkie Breed.

:p:p:p:p:p

I truly hope this is not just a bait post meant to get everyone all worked up. :( In the event that you are being serious and to alert others who may read this and take it seriously...

1) There is no such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie. Any breeder who advertises them as such is the kind of breeder you want to avoid. It indicates that either the breeder has no knowledge about the dogs they breed, or just no regard for them in general. It's a common red flag among Yorkie enthusiasts. It's a marketing term used by unethical breeders to describe dogs bred to be extremely small--something no reputable breeder would ever do. Many people opt to educate themselves on the breed they are willing to make long term committments to FIRST and come across this in their research. Those who don't bother to research first are often taken advantage of by shady breeders with "teacups."

2) xxxxx.com is not a breeder, it's a brokerage site. Such sites where you buy from the "middle man" who ups the price to make a profit--such businesses are generally frowned upon. :thumbdown It speaks volumes about the breeders who supply them, which reflects on the dogs they are producing. What kind of breeder would sell their pups to a company to place for them and not care what kind of home they end up in.

Surely, thiss post is a joke and meant to be an advertisement for xxxxx.

That's kind of what I'm thinking too, but you neeeeever know.

Hmmmm, sounds like an add to me....but you never know...we are here to educate...maybe she will read around the forum.....

What is (website removed)??

The breeder's web site was given in the OP's post. I was removed by admin.

But what is it?? I went to the website and I don't understand, I am never knew what a puppy mills or brokers was until YT. Is that what the website is, a broker??

LOL let the games begin!! Teacup = tongue lashing! Question is how many lashings!!

Yes, it was a broker's site. (Kudos to Admin/Mods for taking it down!) A broker is someone who acts as the 'middle man' between breeders and new owners. A broker buys the dogs from the breeder, increases the price so that they make a profit and then sells them to the new owner. The breeder and the new owner never meet. The many downsides of this kind of business are pretty evident, IMO.

What does IMO mean?? Sorry I am just trying to educate myself on these issues.

sorry...it stands for In My Opinion

lol..o I thought it meant something else..sorry

Way to go admin!

if your puppy came from a pet store or broker, it is possible that you it has Giardia. Please take it for a health check up.
