Micro Mini "Teacups" under 1 lb. - Page 10 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MyTrixie143 · 03-23-2011, 08:13 PM

Those poor little babies!! I can't understand how one can be so cruel. My girls are 5lbs and are still very small to me and worry me enough;I just can't imagine breeding one any smaller that is like 3lbs. They truly don't care about their well being breeding that small.

I do see the appeal of a small dog but not one that is only 1lb. My Hershey is 3lbs (not bred for size, he just stayed small) and is the smallest I would ever want as you constantly have to be careful with them and worry about the slightest thing. I just can't see how a 1lb dog could live a normal life as a dog and they should have that right.

Sometimes I wonder if people really know how small a 1lb dog really is. Years ago when I first heard of "teacups" I met a lady who had a teacup chihuahua that was only 1lb if that. He was prancing around his owners foot and I remember being so scared she might accidentally squish him by just moving her foot.

update: i sent her an email last night stating that she stole pictures from Mina. She responded back and apologized that her web designer took cute puppy pictures and uploaded and will take it down immediately...

what bunch of excuses!
I wrote her back stating that if its a website of business you should use your own pictures because every picture int he world is copy righted and you have no right to take a picture off of a website even google and post it as your own.

Had my co worker check over my korean spelling. We'll see if she does take it down. I told her she has 24 hours.

Why are you so quick to judge? I would not want such a tiny dog myself, but it is my understanding that Gina is VERY selective about whom she allows to purchase one of these pups. The market she sells to is well defined: very rich girls who will pamper these pooches every second of the day! Included in her requirements is a promise to keep the dogs on MyBeau Exceed, an extraordinary animal vitamin product that boosts immunity and health. It has been embraced in its home country of NZ, and in Korea, where Gina is from. Unfortunately, it not very well known here in the US yet. These little dogs are not for just anyone, but I don't believe it is abusive in any way. She screens buyers very carefully.

Ah! Once again, first post supporting horrible breeding practices. Capitlizing on tinies.....

Very rich girls that haven't a clue about what detriment is being done these dogs. Putting tinie's lives in jeaporady.

Boosting immunity health.....will do nothing to help little heads that are too small, or prevent Liver Shunt.

My little Belle is 4lbs and thank goodness still growing. She seems tiny to me, I can't imagine a 1lb dog!

Please read all of the posts in this thread and others about the many, many perils in the breeding, pregnancy, whelping, infancy and life of these ultra tiny dogs and then search this site for "teacups" and read some more. Search the internet and do more research. You will quickly get your answer as to why people who love the Yorkshire Terrier judge those who breed for anything other than health, full function and conformation to a standard that produces a quality, happy dog. Regarding potential buyers, I think that most reputable breeders want their dogs to go to responsible and loving homes where they can live a healthy and happy dog's life and not that of a status symbol or fashion accessory. If you will do your due diligence in researching "teacups", I think you, too, will understand why so many people here are against this type of breeding and selling practices.

What is MyBeau Exceed and is that a product you sell ? If so, you need to be a donating member and pay for your advertising space like the rest of us vendors. I don't believe in any supplement that is not specifically recommended by a board certified veterinary nutritionist.

Your kidding right? Yorkies are meant to be dogs not fashion accessories for rich girls

MyBeau Girl · 03-24-2011, 08:52 AM

Even the name of this thread is only meant to slander, not present the real facts. Most of the teacups sold by PoshFairy Tail are estimated to be about 2.5 lb when full-grown. Where did you get the "under 1 lb." ?????

If you would look at the website yourself, you would see that these are raised to be "healthy teacups" as opposed to the teacups with health problems that are common due to unscrupulous breeders only interested in money. I really do believe that Gina raises healthy dogs.

Sure she does...more than likely just to make sure the buyer's funds are good!

I suggest you try and pedal your wares somewhere else...

And yet you choose to show your baby in a Barbie car? Why are you judging others for something you are happily doing yourself?

The word Teacup is in of itself a marketing ploy.......Read the standard...The Yorkshire Terrier is a Toy dog.

Your touting about unscrupulous breeders only interested in breeding for money, I would think PoshFairy Tail is just that. The prices she charges is well in excess of what a top quality show dog from escellent lines goes for.....

If you aren't a breeder or even if you are, you are spouting off incorrect information. Breeding tiny females and putting their lives on the line. By the way one of the ways to obtain tinies is to inbreed......

Study up on breeding, go to the YTCA pages, they together with the AKC set the standard......

Teacups come with saucers and handles, they are not dogs.

It's pretty obvious her dog was a pup at the time and not an undersized, unhealthy, fully grown dog.
