Oh, that little IZZY is adorable! I have admired her many times.
Thank you for the comments about my website and the babies.
When I started, I did not have the internet, but searched and searched and drove many, many miles looking to find certain characteristics to compliment each other. Made a lot of mistakes and had a lot of heartaches and cried a lot of tears. And still wonder if a puppy I am selling is wondering where in the heck it is the first night it is with its new family. I love all mine and hope they love me as much. They must, some like to sleep with all 4 feet in the middle of my back at nite!
The internet seems to be vicious at times, but there are so many very nice people on YT too.

I thought your site was very nice. I like others don't care for the teacup word but to each his/her own. your pups look so sweet

I had recently edited my website and deleted that term that I borrowed from what people were telling me the small ones were called, but I guess I did not get it published right, I will go have a look. I have often wondered why that term is used, as I don't think there are very many of anyone's yorkies that WILL fit in a teacup!
If anyone else has any advice that would help, I would gladly listen.

BUT THE TEACUP WORD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PERSON'S THREATS!
She has contacted me several times wanting a chocolate or tiny stud male.

Thank you so much and I see the page that I did not get edited and will be taking that "word" out.
You all are great! Thanks for not judging me over that word.

I love Rio the male one. Is he still available? How much and do you have any females? Lower than $2500

I am not sure about that part of it.

some people are just so bored, they have nothing better to do than to be mean. it's sad that their lives are so horrible, they feel the need to bring others down as well.

don't sweat it. a LOT of people use the term "teacup" just because that is such a popular word and they don't know any better. maybe you could put a section on there that explains that you do not care for the term "teacup" but chose to use it because so many people "relate" to that word. but honestly, I don't think you have done anything wrong.

Whoever is sending you those pm's needs to concentrate their time on people who are "mass producing" dogs and not caring for their animals properly. I would gladly give them the address of a few places around here

He is a doll!
Rio's male is spoken for and I am expecting a deposit. So Sorry.
The $2500.00 ones have over 100 champions in the pedigree info I have on parents, grandparents and great-grandparents and so on.
There are several people on here that have puppies advertised, you might look on the for sale and wanted that are priced under that. It will be a while before I have some without all the champions priced lower. And not expecting any more puppies right now.

First let me say that I know nothing about what kind of breeder you are and you do have some very cute yorkies and you seem to love them very much. But it is concerning that you didn't know about the word teacup. Only irresponsible breeders use that term and I am glad that you are no longer using it.

Did you do a lot of research before you started breeding? That is when you would have discovered that "teacup" is not an acceptable term among responsible breeders.

That is some great advice! But I intended to take that word completely out when I recently did some editing, I am so bad about not getting around to updating my website

I'm sorry someone was threatening you. You should definitely report it to admin.

So far as you're breeding, I personally hate the word "teacup" being associated with a dog breed because there is no such thing. It is VERY misleading to a buyer and leads them to believe there is a "teacup" standard for a yorkie and a "standard" sized yorkie. No reputable breeder uses that term, and no reputable breeder intentionally breeds tiny yorkies. They strive to IMPROVE the breed. Show yorkies are normally between 5-7lbs, at the least 4lbs. Of course reputable breeders sometimes have tinies born, but they don't intentionally breed them because they require a lot more care and have the potential to have more health problems. I also don't agree with breeding faulted colors but a lot of people like them...but the reason these colors are faults are because there are more genetic problems associated with these faulted colors. I'm not sure how you got your hands on so many championed dogs if you don't show...reputable show breeders don't just sell their pups with full breeding right to just anyone - they only go to other reputable show breeders. So I think it's kindof fishy that you have a lot of championed-sired pups but you don't show...

I started long ago when internet was not available. Bought every book I could get my hands on, got a lot of mis-information from books, word of mouth etc. Learned a lot and have a lot to learn.

I, myself would not think a breeder irresponsible soley on the use of one word. I would certainly think it would take lots more than just a "word".
But I will be taking it off my website.

I am still looking and learning and am sometimes appalled at all the mis-information a person can get on the internet.

I have learned a lot on YT even still after having bred yorkies all these years.
And I am hoping to learn much, much more.

I hope no one thinks anything about my name not being on there or phone number. I have had some of my little yorkies stolen in the past and am scared to death of thieves!
