What's about Teacups??? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Len-
It takes a lot of maturity to know that you aren't ready to bring a puppy in to your life yet. Far too many animals end up in shelters and being put down because their owners didn't do all the research. When you are ready, perhaps you could consider a rescued Yorkie. They adoption fees are considerably lower than buying a pup from a breeder. They are normally spayed/neutered already. And best of all, you would be doing a wonderful thing for a pup that needs a second chance.

You are going to be a terrific owner when it's your time.

I have three girls my small one is Melody, almost 99.9% of people, that meet her ask me or said oh is a teacup

I take the time to explain to them that there is no such a thing of "teacup" some people want to know, other not, but I sure glad that you are doing your home work, I think yorkies are one of the best breeds out there

Ps. Welcome to yt!!

perhaps if i'm honest with myself... i am not quite ready physically as well. there's a lot of dedication and awareness and hard work to keep a dog happy which i don't know if i can do while studying hard.
i'm literally crying now!
maybe its a good idea i don't come here too often so i don't get reminded.
i just so want one yorkie of mine. but i got to be responsible.

all your feedback was very helpful, thank you all!

You will get your yorkie when the time is right, and you will be a great yorkie parent. I can tell by your posts. You only want the best for your future yorkie.

I'm sure others have seen the same thing, as it seems to be a trait, but when Chloe comes to me ( whether it's me that initiates it or her ) and I stop to pick her up....WHY does she dart away??? ( and she's not afraid of us ) It's this constant back and forth that's maddening and I'm not sure how to stop it. Does yours do the same? Anyone figure this out?

Thank you!

i have never had a dog of my own, i have never taken care of any animal of my own. so it seems like a hug step to buy a yorkie, which i might not be ready for. financially most probably.
am i wrong or am i getting the impression that you got to be financially secure (in other words, well off) to own a puppy? people have their own house, plenty of money to take them to classes and training and so on.

thanks for the feedback.
love your god too! really charming.... i love all yorkies!

Welcome to YT!!

No you don't have to be well off financially to own a dog. Of course it is a good idea to have either very good pet insurance and/or a small fund set aside in case of an emergency with your dog.

First time dog owners do very well as long as they have a good breeder who will help them before, during, and after you get your puppy. Reading and talking to others to prepare you for a new puppy will help you immensely!

You sounds like you would make a fine first time dog owner. You are asking lots of questions and that is how we learn. we were ALL first time dog owners at some point

About that breeder, I cannot say if she is legit, I don't of her. But I can say that they sure didn't look right to me, right off the bat I noticed that, and having puppies outside that young bothers me a lot.. Running through the dirt, the plants, and then the size of the parents she mentioned.. way to small to breed.

I have a 3 1/2 pound yorkie, she is 5 and there is no way I could see her having puppies (she was spayed at 10 months). I do not understand why someone would breed such tiny dogs. Those pups she had were what I call a pretty normal size. and i think some of these breeders who say they have teacups and micros are just big fat liars.

YouTube - AKC Tiny Yorkie puppies!

PS: I see she actually sells her puppies on you tube..That right there just turns me off. I only use youtube to upload video's of the puppies I have for their families while they wait to be able to pick up their new baby!

Selling on youtube? How tacky

Len1yorkie, may I ask how old are you? I'm a student as well and I just got my first yorkie. It takes a lot of responsibility to take care of one. I'm still a student so the financial is an issue for me as well. I used to be somewhat a shopaholic. Now, all i shop at is petsmart =] hahah I keep my little first before everything now. Maybe you can start saving and find a good breeder and start there, bits and pieces. The money isn't the only issue. You have to make sure they spend a lot of time with you especially when they're a puppy, and for yorkie they likes to be with you.

I was thinking of exactly the same thing, how can she let them outside when they're so small? What if they get lost or stuck somewhere. If I had all those babies, I would keep them indoor right next to me so can I watch their movements.

Please don't think that way. I had researched this breed, looking at pictures and reading stories for a long time before joining YT. Then I finally joined, and I had no pup. Please stay, you will learn a lot about yorkies and dogs in general. I was a member for over a year when I finally got my baby boy. This site was a blessing because I felt like I knew what I was doing even though I had never had a dog before, and the first time I got one, I did it on my own. These people are my support group and when ever I have a question, no matter how small or how dumb, they help so much. Please stay, read and educate yourself. It's ok to dream.

Hello, I too am from the U.K so your not alone. If your looking to get a yorkie in the future then this is a great site to learn about health issues. To find a reputable local breeder you can conact the kennel club for ones near you with pups available once you know your ready for one. I do know of one breeder in Cambridgshie who owns a small show kennel and some times has pups available. The word t-cup has only really crept into the selling language in the u.k in the last few years, before that people would just advertise them as toy or miniature as a way of giving people an idea of the expected adult size of the pup. Although I have recently seen some selling the tinies for very high prices which is a big indicator of they're motivation. I'd say the average price for a pup over here is £450-£550.

Hello!! welcome to YT!!! I am the proud mommy of a very happy 8 almost 9month old boy named Monster.. He is a very robust 8 lbs!!! lol.. i still carry him everywhere and to be completely honest i thought i wanted a smaller one, but when u hear 8lbs, 10 lbs, u think of that as a bigger dog,, it sooo is NOT.. my lil guy is PERFECT.. If i wanted to i could probably dress him up real cute or stuff him in purse..lol.. , but once u own a yorkie u kinda forget all that foolishness.. I am so in love with him and he is so in love with me.. Yorkies literally fall in love with their mommy or daddy and will not leave ur side.. THE BEST DOG EVER!!! ((in my opinion)) Also, I have a california king bed that is a lil high and he jumps on and off with no problem which he couldnt do safely if he were any smaller.. And because ur baby will adore u so much, u LITERALLY will be stepping all over him/her when he/she is a puppy so i like that i dont have to worry about if he gets underfoot he will get hurt.. Also the health issues.. Thank God my Monster is a good size, cus recently he was ill and would not have made it if he was a tiny lil thing.. so dont be disappointed if u get a good sized dog, they are the best!! and yorkies are a TOY breed anyway, so they are all small..

I can't believe she's breeding dogs that small. She also isn't watching them well- she admits to an accidental litter.

She also makes references to her dames going into heat every 4 months- to me that signals that she is over breeding them (JMO).
