teacup yorkie I'v been taking Gizmo around with us (ie to the mall and pet friendly malls and what not) and I'm so sick of getting asked if he is a teacup and how "aw I like them smaller" that actually kind idlers a woman have it who gave me a card for breeding "mini tea cup yorkies". I didn't mean to be mean but I feel that even ignorance has its limits especially when its hurting fur babies. Guess that's my vent. |
It is just the way so many women are - the smaller ones are cuter to them. My last Yorkie was only 3 lbs. but she was a runt from normal parents, normal little and she was a star wherever she went with all the women due to her tiny, fragile size. |
I didn't realize there was NOT such a thing either until joining this website. Now when I see it advertised anywhere it makes me sick! My Bella was the last one of her litter BECAUSE she was the runt! I thought that strange because most people want a "teacup". He said she would be on the smaller size around 4lbs full grown. Ha not quite, I got very lucky with her. She's 6 mos and already 5lbs! Believe me, anyone who thinks that even 5 lbs is too big is CRAZY! She is stil very tiny! I hope she reaches atleast 7 lbs! |

There are so many disreputable breeders selling tinies and calling them teacups that it is almost a losing battle. But we know the truth and when you know something you have to share with those that dont know |
I feel the same way, Belle is a little over 4lbs at 5 months old and she is SOOOO tiny. I can't wait til she gets bigger!!! The whole teacup tiny craze make me sick. |
We take louie to the outside mall,and so many people say he is soo big and he's 7 lbs. I think it because their not used to seeing a standard yorkies Their seeing yorkies from unreputable breeder that are so tiny its sad! |
I get asked the same questions and a lot of people have taken their phones out, wanted a picture of him and proceeded to ask who the breeder is because they TOO want a "teacup" yorkie! (Grrrrr :mad:) I am kind though and firmly inform them that my Oliver is not a teacup and that I am hopeful he will get bigger :D I also tell them that I have a wondeful breeder but she DOES NOT breed "teacups" as there is no such thing, but that if she wants a happy, healthy yorkie she's more than happy to give her a call :) Some people are just ignorant, I know I was before finding YT although I never wanted a dog that small. Common sense should tell you that's unhealthy. Oliver is 3.2 pounds but trust me is VERY healthy and I often wonder if he was a little PIG in another life :eek: He LOVES to eat!! My next response will be, if you want a pet that size buy a hamster! |

The members above stated themselves that people note the size range of yorkies. It's understandable, because there is a difference! A 2lb yorkie, 4lb yorkie & 7lb yorkie are noticeably different in size. Yes, it's just a couple of pounds, but on a small dog, makes an obvious difference in structure, face size, paw size, etc. I don't get what the big deal is when people state the obvious. |
