Runts, huh? Thanks for that info. :D I don't have a runt, but this bunch of cuteness is a blessing to me. :D wouldn't change that for the world.

My friend's daughter made them with plain doggie t-shirts and glitter pens, sequences, and glue on bling- Very blinggy. I get funny looks but at least very few people as if she is a T-cup.
That just gave me an idea! Thanks for mentioning that. I would love to add a little bling to an outfit. I've done it before a couple of times, but never thought about doing it for Mya's clothes. I make bows and neck flower bows. She don't like wearing the bows yet. It's ok. I'm going to wait until her hair grows out a little more. Don't want her uncomfortable wearing them. Sure wish I knew how to use a sewing machine like my mother. OMG. If only. I'd have a huge doggy clothing line. Lol. I'm just saying that. :D

Well I was quoting you so I was not calling your dog a runt I was not calling anyones dog a runt. I was just saying teacups do not exist.

AAAAWWWWW! Dont be insulted or hurt...."runts" are precious, and we all love those little babies, but "Tea Cup" is the fancy name some breeders give their runts.....while it is just a term to mean very small, it is used as a marketing ploy to sell their tiny babies. Not many people want "a runt", but there are hundreds of people clammoring for "Tea Cups"! Whatever you want to call them, they are loved and adorable!

oh no, sweetie. Oops. didn't word it right. I'm not that easily offended. lol. I don't even know you all. I not offended at all. I meant Mya is not the "runt" size. Not meaning you were calling her a runt. You all explained to me what a runt is, and I also stated at the beginning of my post that Mya is 6lbs. Of course I wouldnt think you all would contradict your words and call a 6lb pup a runt. :D Hope that's cleared up. Being an administrator of a community before, I know how easily words can be misinterpreted. I was getting pm's left to right from members regarding someone's wording. I know all to well. It means we are all human with our own thoughts. :D Sorry if I gave wrong impression with my wording. No harm intended.

My Gracie is a huge 5lbs but she was the runt of her litter of two. My vet was very concerned that she might have liver shunt or some other disorder. Actually she was just a very picky eater. She stayed very tiny for months until she was about 8 months and then started to grow and gain weight a bit better. Actually she achieved her 5th pound well after her 1st birthday. I guess the "runt" has always caught my eye. I have that mothering instinct. I see something that needs a little extra help and just have to baby it. I knew very little about Yorkies when I got Gracie and actually found this forum when I was desperately trying to find a dog food that she would eat. I guess if I had known what I know now about the disorders that Yorkies are prone to have I would probably not have gotten Gracie. Thankfully, things have worked out well but I guess my point is that I have no problem with my girl being a "runt.":)

My little Gracie (my avatar) was the same way. I was so happy she hit 4 lbs. My other two are Rocky 6lbs and Rosie (Gracie's mother) is 6 1/2 lbs.
I just worry so much about people trying to breed these little ones. It scares me. :eek:

Uh-oh. I'm just seeing your post, GL. So sorry, dear. I am glad things worked out for you. My Mya is now with a friend of the family. In November, just before I had her groomed and shaved, she was weighing in at 10 1/2 lbs. A big bundle of furry sweetness. My sister-n-law didn't get a dog because my brother said they wouldn't have had time to spend with it. And believe it or not, my current furbaby Miki was the runt of the litter. I'm glad though that she's not really small because my poor baby is highly energetic and she leaps and jumps around like crazy. She's quite feisty, too.

Paris Hilton got her dog Tinkerbell from Texas Teacups, I think unless you have that kind of money to throw around...$3000 is pretty high. My best friend's yorkies had puppies last year (who I think will end up being 'teacups' because they're 7 months and are barely over a lb) and she sold them for only $600 and that was with their vaccinations and everything.

If your sister is looking for a purse puppy to tote around, let her know they need a lot more than just food and water and maybe she should find a puppy she has a connection with instead of a puppy with a designer label =]

There is no such thing as a teacup and where Paris got her dog is not a reputable breeder.

Have her to look up on them because I wanted a "teacup" before I found all the negative things that came with them. Now Honey is only 3.7 to 4 pounds she is not the smallest but not the biggest. I paid 700 for Honey but I think the lady might have been a puppy mill (maybe) she did have Honey parents but she also had other breeds of dogs also. I like Honey the size she is and i dont think I want a yorkie bigger then her. I would really tell your sister to just read up on it before she buy one.

No, I think she got it right...puppy mills = greeder as in "greedy". They sell dogs that may not appear sick at the time of purchase but major problems don't always show up right away and all it does is cause heartache and an empty wallet.

No, she's talking about Chachi's post, it looks like Chachi left out the letter b several times. I marked it in red, maybe the letter b is stuck? But you're right in some cases we call breeders "greeders".

Usually to purchase from a good reeder your going to pay 1000 or more. However you are purchasing a quality yorkie. Most of those reeders that reed the tiny yorkies dont do any kind of health testing and they are just supplying the market to the trend towards tiny yorkies which is an unhealthy trend. Same with the designer mixed reed reeders you will never find them doing any kind of health testing and their is no stardard for mixed reeds so they arent reeding for any standard

Thanks Nancy. I really knew that, I was just trying to be funny! LOL Guess I'm really off today! :rolleyes:
