| 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 Last edited by Wylie's Mom; 03-11-2009 at 08:06 AM. Reason: remove website |

| 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!!! ...... 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.

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. 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. Last edited by Wylie's Mom; 03-11-2009 at 10:19 AM.

| 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. Last edited by BamaFan121s; 03-11-2009 at 09:05 AM. |
