I think adding something about growth would be good too. As we've all seen, a tiny pup can become a teapot, and a larger puppy can turn out to be small as an adult. So if you pay extra for a "teacup", there's no guarantee that the pup will stay tiny. Give me a 7lber anyday, I tell ya:laugh: MUCH less worrying;) |

He actually Charges 10,000 For a Yorkie? HOLY CRAP, I know its wrong for him to take advantage of people, but if a person is seriously THAT stupid I think they might deserve to pay 10,000 for a dog. I can't imagine people being that dumb...It just amazes me! The whole website makes me SICK! |
yeah, some people has the money and likes to spend it. Some even think the more money, the better the quality which isn't true. Like Yorkymom from Youtube likes to chare $3000-$5000 per a dog because they are suppose to be the 'best lines' (Maxamillion?) and are micros? Talking about dragging a line into the ground! |
I don't understand why people make a big fuss about this, over and over. Sorry, but right now the demand is for the little ones, and that makes the monetary value of the little ones much higher. How many reputable breeders out there do not charge more money if they have a little one??! I'd love to know one....that person would be getting a lot of business from me!! The fact of the matter is that people will pay more money for a tiny baby. And using the term teacup is just using a descriptive adjective!! Get over it! |

Are you a breeder? if so... Do you sell Teacups? What's the point at getting mad because people want to get the word out about how people are lying? |
You know I agree to some extent the cost of a yorkie is about supply and demand, but lets get real, 1,000 - 2,000 is a good price for a yorkie in most areas but $10,000 thats seriously INSANE. As far as the word teacup, it causes confusion, for instance my mother in law thought (because a friend of hers has 3 yorkies) that there were differant types of yorkies (standard, toy and Teacup) I had to explain to her that she was infact wrong and that a standard Yorkie is 7lbs or under. But that there is not a seperate breed that is Toy or Tea cup, it is all one breed, some are just smaller than others. |

I'm not mad, I just get annoyed at all the posts on here about teacups. I don't see many breeders posting ads saying we have standard, toy, and teacup yorkies, granted I do see some, but mostly I see them use the word teacup as a descriptive adjective. And really, why is it such a big deal if someone uses those terms in their advertising? It's just better enabling potential buyers to weed through ads and easily find what they are looking for. It's not necessarily lying, it's just being descriptive. And no, I'm not a breeder, I'm mom to two very cute "TEACUP" babies!! |
It is a shame people do not educate themselves more. But a good breeder should explain what a TRUE yorkie to standard is, and that there isn't another 'type' of yorkie called a tea-cup. There are for instance differant types of Poodles (standard and toy...) and some people probably just assume its the same type of thing. I think its partly the responsibilty of a reputable breeder to educate the person buying their puppy. Almost even more so than the buyer. A good breeder only wants the best home for their puppies. |

There are people that think it is a different type of yorkie and people that do pay more for teacups that end up much larger than promised. We've seen many of them here on YT. There are breeders that lie about it. Warning people (even over and over ;) ) can't hurt and will help someone. |
Personally, I think the focus should not be on the term 'teacup' because that just describes a very small Yorkie. We should focus on the ethics and dangers of breeding very tiny Yorkies and the health issues of tiny Yorkies. When I get calls asking if mine are teacups I don't go into a tirade about the term. I just explain to them what I think my puppies will weight and I tell them they need to be very careful about purchasing a very tiny Yorkie because they have a lot of health issues and are much more delicate. |
I saw a website yesterday that used the treminology..."TEASPOON":eek: :eek: :eek: |

I have a website called YorkieTips.com that I am just getting ready to start working on. I have got so many fabulous tips and ideas from YT. I hope I can use that website to help educate people on the important issues involved in owning, breeding and showing Yorkies. We all need to work together for the welfare of the breed and we don't always have to agree on technicalities (teacup) but focus on healthy, sound Yorkies. |
