these (b)greeders are hacks. I took the time (yes, I'm geeky) to read their gaurante (sic), and it was as though a child had written it! My god, what a combo - Jesus freaks AND unethical! How typical

Wonder if they sell puppies after church service."For only $5000 you can have a Yorkie with worthless papers" Praise the Lord!!

OH Lordy how I hate breeders that use the name of Jesus to sell dogs. When I see this on a website I run the other way....it is like they haven't a clue with their breeding program and they hide behind religion. I really do believe animals suffer in these environments...IMHO.

Extremely well put!!!

I just want people to know i would never choose a small dog over a healthy dog that is just silly. Of course breed for healthier. i just don't see anything wrong with wanting a smaller dog. People wanted smaller Yorkies way before me thats why the yorkie dropped down from 30lb to the average 7lb. Every one makes it sound like all little 2lb dogs are unhealthy its just not true. my little dude is proof in that. i think there are just alot of bad breeders out there taking advantage of people wanting a smaller yorkie and breeding unhealthy runts to make them. nothing is guarrantee if the bad breeder is selling 5lb yorkies they are bound to be sick too. its not all about size. There needs to be better laws on breeding there really does. And if someone sells you a sick puppy or is selling sick puppies there needs to be a bigger consiquence for them. And untill then we will always have sick dogs no matter what size they are.

To the poster of the sick puppy...many owners of sick puppies claim they wouldn't trade them for nothing because they love them so much. I can understand the love and I think that is okay if you can afford it, but not everyone can afford these type of on-going vet bills. I'm sure there are some owners who really wish they had waited and became more informed before their purchase. I say to them, love your babies and don't get offended when people on YT answer your questions by using logic, common sense, or experience, because there are serious Yorkie experts on here (I'm not one of them) who know their stuff, and they will sometimes tell you what you may not want to hear, like or agree with. But it's good information.

Having a new puppy that is constantly getting sick or needing medical attention is NOT a good sign for where the puppy came from. IMO the purchaser of that sickly puppy was scammed because the selling breeder cared more for the money instead of the breed, no matter how long they claim to have been in the breeding business. Though there are many Yorkies given up to shelters and rescues for these discouraging reasons, these breeders know Yorkies sell.

Yes agree. Not ALL tinies are unhealthy. Plenty in my local meetup group are under 3 lbs and healthy.

And to add, a 7 pound dog is already really freakin small!

I agree that not all small yorkie are unhealthy, but I do think it's sad the way some people get competitive over the size of their yorkies......when I walk mine I always meet people who 'have a teacup at home' or knows someone with a 'micro-mini' I have no doubt that they know people with smaller yorkies - mine are monsters in comparison to some! (14lb and 8lb).....I just dont understand why smaller is considered better.


I get the same thing in reverse with our great dane - everyone knows someone who has one that is 'up to here' (holding their hand level to their shoulder) Drives me nuts! xxx

Claire, Small isn't considered better. My specialist recommends not get a yorkie unless it's at least 5 pounds. The small the size, the more the problems with health and growth. Their little bones are very delicate and it's very costly for surgery. They don't recover as well and a normal size. Generally, the rule of thumb is 5 - 7 pounds.
My brother has a 14 pounder and his cute...lol

i really dont see why people have to get so mad at teacup/teaspoon puppies????? why does it bother you i live in england and i think the term we use is minitures.

bella is a mini and is so healty and happy i couldnt wish for a better dog yet my neighbours have normal size yorkies and have all had problems with their health so dont make me laugh and say the smaller the more "sickly" even my vet laughed at that one.

the reason for me wanting a smaller dog was simple i have a little boy and iam scared of him getting hurt badly off a dog so the smaller the less harm if this did happen which wouldnt because bella is so soft with him.

i dont mean to offend people but you have to understand how offened people who have these mins/teacup yorkies get when we read threads like this with comments like your dogs sickly, your dogs a runt it shouldnt be registered ect ect.

i dont like the fact breeders cut off a puppies dew claw and tails but so what its their choice and buying a mini is ours so please dont slag them off because we get upset ( dew claw and tail removal is illegal in england thank god )

No we are not saying bad on the smaller babies, we are saying it's bad news when the breeder calls them teacups, to charge more money. And what's smaller than a teacup? well a teaspoon of course, so of course they are going to charge even more money for it. That is what we don't like.

It is also the unknowing public out there that thinks teacup is an official term to describe them. This just shows the lack of education out there, for people to be scammed. Also breeders will sell regular sized yorkies too young, and claiming they are teacup, charging more money. I have lots of people I know that say "Well he was supposed to be a teacup."

Oh, also when breeders purposely breed for the extreme small size, that's not good.

Very well said!

when i went to pick bella up the breeder said she was one of 2 pups in the litter of 5 that where on the small side so because the dad was miniture she thinks that the size they will be and when i saw the dad he was so cute he looked so much like a puppy thats what made me want a miniture because i know she will stay looking like a puppy and even more cute

iam sure a breeder would have to state what size dog they are going to get but chrging more money is wrong altho a lot of people over here would go for the miniture rather than a normal size yorkie and there arent that many minis so thats why minis are more money because breeders know people will pay that much for a mini x
