| ![]() If they're fixed they have no reason to mark..if he's already lifting his leg, this may or may not stop...I asked the vet about it, as my son is having his boy neutered, the vet here said he should stop(he was only lifting his little leg over at my house)..so, we'll see, I sure hope so! |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | ![]() I think you have the right idea. I do have an application that is then followed by six standard questions....some folks really open and talk which gives me some insight into them. Others answer my six or seven directed questions with one or two word answers. I try to call and talk to everyone. Several times in making the decision/s. I like it when someone can come and see my set up and maybe I can go and see there home or have someone do a home visit for me....the more information the better I feel about where I place the puppy. |

![]() I'm sure even though she's going to be over 10 lbs that because she's a little girl, someone will want her. Probably someone like me who has a teapot already and wants a bigger one as a sibling ![]() Tara | |

| ![]() I don't know if this is still hypothetical or if you're asking for real. For me, I wouldn't buy a yorkie or biewer that would be 10lbs full grown. My Lacy is like 7.5lbs right now and she's still a small dog to me and I love her to death, but I would prefer for all my other dog to be smaller than her. I think 4-5.5lbs is the perfect range to me...definitely no smaller than 3lbs and preferably no bigger than 6. Of course, if I bought one and it ended up being smaller or bigger than expected it wouldn't be a big deal to me..size isn't that important to me. But idealy somewhere between 4 and 6lbs is what I would like. I like to take my dogs places with me and when you get into the 10lbs range, it is more difficult. And I just like the look of that size. There are a lot of people that would love a slightly bigger yorkie/biewer that happened to show up in a litter from a good breeder though.

| ![]() I agree that most people only want the tiny and the tinier the better.They are even willing to get one that is sick just to get that tiny one.And to top it off you hear them talking about breeders breeding for the tiny's but there are not many to go around because between byb,hobby breeder and show breeders as well as the tiny puppy mill pup they gobble them up.I say be honest.NOW with that said I DO PREFER the tiny ones also FEMALE but will take a tiny male.WHY? you ask. well because they are TINY(we are enamored with the whole tiny thing)(those of us who want tiny's).They are so adorable and well they NEED us.that is a great feeling.I am not speaking of the need in caring for any living thing,I am spaking of them needing us or they maybe won't do so well.Its a lot of responsibility but well worth it(TO SOME).I am tired of stepping around the upstuck noses of the judgemental people that will look down on you for wanting a tiny all the while rubbing their ( ![]() ![]() ![]()

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | ![]() No, this is no longer hypothethical. I know of two girls--10 weeks old--who will be teapot Biewers that are available. I know of a 6 month old biewer male that will be about 12# as an adult--still not sold. These are reasonably priced pets. As many of you know, I have a "teapot" yorkie Dayzee--who weighs 12#. She is NOT a big dog. Just big if you are looking for a "tiny". So 3 Biewers are available....reasonably priced, what should breeders be doing with these pet quality puppies?? |

| ![]() Usual I purchase male dogs and female cats as does the majority of my family. Cozy is the first female dog I have ever purchased and the only female dog currently in my family. I feel in love with her.

| ![]() I have a teapot that is absolutely spoiled. I keep threatening my husband that I am going to get another dog, but I don't know how Conner will like it. He loves his friends to visit (mom's yorkie and my sister's dog), but he also likes it when they leave. He also likes mama and daddy to himself.

| ![]() I know this won't change anyone's mind but let me give my 2 cents worth on this. I have always had 'tiny' Yorkies with an adult weight of 4 pounds or so. Yes, they are adorable, easy to travel with etc...but they are also fragile and it is nerve wracking sometimes. I just got my 2 Biewer girls and they will be bigger than my boyz which is fine but having all of them in the house together has made me reconsider my thoughts on size. My girls are heavier framed than my boys and I wouldn't worry about my Grandson playing with Megan and Maddie like I would Jo and Riley, I don't worry when they run and play and crash into things or leap on top of each other. With my boyz I worry about them jumping, getting stepped on or falling off of something...I don't think I'll worry like that with the girls simply because they are sturdier. Now, my girls aren't going to be giants by any means, they should end up between 6 and 8 pounds as adults. My husband plays with the girls like he never did with the boyz because he isn't afraid of hurting them, he's really enjoying them and we're both more comfortable with their size. Yes, I love my boyz...don't get me wrong...and I will always have Yorkies but I won't choose the smaller size again. If anyone is looking for a Biewer don't let the 10 pound size scare you away...these dogs are beautiful, their colors are striking and you can't really appreciate their coat until you feel it. Good luck finding homes for those little teapots Dee...they deserve it! Last edited by my2boyz; 12-11-2007 at 06:28 AM. |
