| Need an opinion Hi guys, I've been reading the board for a while now, but had no real reason to post, as I don't have a yorkie yet. I was on Craigslist and saw an ad and I need someone to helo me decide if it is a scam or not. Cute and Affectionate Teacup Yorkshier puppies for free adoption |

| Hi, welcome to YT. I can't see the ad, but usually a tip off is when they use the term "teacup" & "free". I would be very leary of dealing with anyone who uses these terms to attact buyers.

| The link says its been flagged for removal...and yes when they say "free" adoption its usually means stay away from the ad, being its a scam. Not sure about the words "teacup" but irregardless alot breeders will use the word whether its correct or not. Teacup to me just means its usually 4.0 lbs or less. |

| It's been flagged for removal. Craigslist is riddled with scams. When a breeder advertises terms like Teacup, Tiny, Micro, etc. It's a lot like the dog calling "Here kitty kitty"

| Teacup means "stay away" there's no such breed. They are either yorkies or not. |
