Scared about how big my puppy will be

2,000 bucks!!??......you got rooked!!! Amazing Yorkies is right. You could have gone to. Show breeder that tests for health and come out LOADS cheaper. You shouldn't have paid more than 200.00-300.00 dollars for your pup. Lastly, a beautiful dog is beautiful. Whether its as big as a collie or a 4 pound yorkie or "Chi". I've seen some awfully pathetic looking 2-3 pound yorkies. I hope your 2,000 dollar yorkie turns out beautiful and HEALTHY......GOOD LUCK to ya!!

PS....I'm praying for that poor, helpless little pup of yours. That it turns out small and healthy so that it will be loved........even if it is a superficial kind of love. OHH..I guess it better turn out to be a real beauty too!!

OHhh...and often, genetic illnesses don't often show until the dog is 6 years old. So, "Amazing Yorkies" gives a much better guarantee than most....most give a year or two. A lifetime guarantee is better but, I think, much harder to find.

I sooo agree with this statement! I have had Foxy since she was 5, she is now 7...and she is always stuck to me like glue..If I go outside for even a minute she starts barking hysterically before I get back..

Absolutely! Sometimes you get the dog because of how well they bonded when they were not even your dog. That's how we got our Collie when I was 7. He belonged to a neighbor, but bonded with us, as an adult, so strongly that when we moved, he refused to eat, drink or socialize with his family or anyone else. He just lay on his front porch, gazing at the house we used to live in. His owner found us and asked us if he could come and live with us...they feared he would die of his broken heart. We had Tim for a number of years...not sure how many 'cuz I was a kid...before his age caught up with him and he passed. He was one of the best dogs I have ever known, and no stronger bond could a dog have with a family than what Tim had with us.

I got Brody when he was 14 months old and 3 months later, got Mia when both she and Brody were 17 months old. Both are very tightly bonded to each other and with us, but velcro should stick like Mia does to me...

Yup! My current foster Dakota is maybe 6+ yrs old. I've had her for a total of three days. She follows me around like crazy, and when she doesnt' see me for a couple hours and I come back she's all tail waggy and super happy. It's only been three days!

I have nothing to add to the wonderful advice given here. I so hope you stick around and learn more about this wonderful breed we call the 'yorkie'
Welcome to YT!!

Actually i feel like bentlysmommy was being attacked because of something she wanted...yet no one answered her comment of how dogs come from wolves and humans bred them down and domesticated them...She never said anything bad about AKC she just said who are they to determine size of a dog they arent God! nothing about her wanting to show her dog... and in her early response she said although her puppy is healthy she wanted a teacup and all everyone said was take your dog to the vet if her puppy was not healthy im sure she wouldnt have time to write on this thread about his size...so next time people answer the question and don't put in ur own input that she has not asked for and it seems like you all are discriminating against teacups or in ur words teenies which doesnt matter if you refer to them as tiny or a teacup...sometimes people take things to far...and what would a reputable breeder do if she got a so called teacup throw them away? everyone wants money or fame in this world dont get it twisted otherwise who thought of domesticating a dog?

I addressed it on a recent thread about teacups. I said all yorkies were mutants since the breed started out large- closer to 14 lbs, and has been bred down to 7 lbs and under. (5 to 7 lbs if you want to show them, I think). Well, that had to happen to get them smaller.

The main idea was she paid for a small yorkie, the greedy breeder called it a teacup to get more money for it. Most reputable breeders will have small pups by accident, but they don't label them as teacups. They would be considered the runts. Only greedy breeders label pups with teacup. micro, mini, tinys, ect. to get more money for pups than they should. Greedy breeders also don't look into health histories of the parents. That's another can of worms...LOL!

I covered the high lights for you. There's tons of threads arguing about that term-teacups.

I've found that here on YT you will get a ton of opinions. Some will be emotional, some on the cognitive side, and some just out there... depending on the moon phase...LOL! Always remember you get answers from people who care about yorkies. Take what you can use, ask if you don't understand, and always PM if you need more clarification about any questions.

Thank you so much for supporting me and taking the time to write this. I just wanted advice and I also felt I was being attacked for the wrong reason, I don't know where everyone gets yorkies but in Miami 2K is not a lot for this breed they are really expensive! I'm a student and I saved to buy the puppy of my dreams and although I love him to pieces it's not the size I was told he would be. Now it's too late and it doesn't matter I love him to death, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm disappointed. I have a rescue chihuahua that's 15lbs and she's my baby but for him I wanted him smaller. Either way I have nothing against teacups or smaller dogs, it's just a term and people take it way too seriously on here. And thank you for pointing out my wolf comment its very true, all yorkies on here have been cross breed to be the size they are if not we would all have wolfs. Thank you again for taking time to write this, this thread was the reason I left the forum so I'm glad someone supported me.

Ahhhh nothing like rehashing an old thread...strange....Yes there are tons of threads about this....and the reasons we don't use those terms...its kind of the same thing with any stereotype, but if a certain term causes detriment, its best to stay clear....if all breeders bred for the T Word...there would be more sick pups than healthy and the breed as it was meant to be....extinct.

[amyazer]

nothing against anything just dont like to see a person attacked and no problem bentlysmommie pm me if you would like to vent

no such thing as a teacup unless your talking about something you drrink tea out of.......

[Haleigh4512]

My pup is 6 months and is 3.15 lbs. he probably wont be much more than 4. They told me he was teacup, but i didn't care about that. Jut wanted a healthy pooch! He is healthy and i try to fatten him up so he isn't so tiny. My vet says he is perfect!

The same day she called me and said she had more puppies that belonged to a friend and I started seeing ads from her frequently realized she was a reseller. Which is okay but when your honest about it. Did my research and realized she had been arrested multiple times for selling sick puppies!! Although my baby is healthy I have no clue what he will weigh as an adult. He's 3 months and weighing 2.1lbs. Does anyone have experience with weight?? I read some charts online but they don't seem accurate to me like the weight is too low. I just hope he stays small because I want to take him with me everywhere! Thanks for your help guys.

I know how you must feel, since you were deceived in many ways, but you will look pass this and come to love your little one regardless of size. You see, I bought Jasmine in Orlando FL. She was the biggest in the litter, and none wanted to buy her, because of her size. She was the last one left, and she was already as big as her dad. I have just lost my tiny little trixie (she died), and Jasmine was such a lively puppy, that I fell in love with her. This is how she grew: 12 weeks, 2.2, 16 weeks, 3.11 lbs, 22 weeks 4.7 lbs, 28 weeks 6.11 lbs. She is now 1 year old, at 7.4 lbs. She doubles Trixie size, but we are not as concern about stepping on her; ,y husband loves her and play rough with her, which she likes, and she also holds her pee longer, which made it easier to train, that it did my little one.
