Again not every dog that is under 4lbs is sick...and not every breeder purposely breeds to get tinies. All you're doing right now is proving my points about the judgements that are made against smaller Yorkies.

Unless we tell them. One person can make a difference and we can slowly shut down bad breeders and puppy mills one at a time. The we can't change attitude is really sad because we can.

No you didn't read my post correctly I said if they are looking for a breeder who sell teacups meaning uses the word teacup they are going to get a sick dog and one that is not breed well and it will be supporting a bad breeder.

Okay but again the average person isn't googling about the dog they just fell in love with at the pet store. They're already swiping their card and picking about a collar and leash.

Okay so if they go to a breeder who has a healthy sized puppy and 2 extremely small puppies but their website or anything doesn't throw any red flags then what?

I never said I was but you should really watch how you talk to people because it makes people not want to come here and that's a shame. This website is full of information and for the most part nice people.

And if you're going to continue to be rude to me you really don't have to participate in my thread sweetie

As long as there not using the word teacup and following all the "rules" a good breeder does there is nothing wrong with getting the small pups.

OK, what if the breed is mutating? They were 15 lbs? now their 7 and under... LOL! Mine won't be helping the line downsize. We are discussing the term and why it's the t-word LOL! Good discussions are enlightening! Many will pop in off the net and read this and stay to find out why teacup is a bad word!
