Where can I purchase a teacup yorkie for no more then $1400.00

I see them often in my area.

I understand where you are coming from, but I've seen a lot of breeders that have AKC registered yorkies with champions. They have to be doing something right. I agree that teacups can have a lot of issues though, so I'll stick with the standard size. Thanks for the information.

[yorkieloverz]

I understand. I have a preference though. I like yorkies with a regular nose just like the one I have. I don't care for the extremely long nose yorkies. My baby doesn't have a really long nose. I like his little nose. I think saying an apple head got people confused. I'm not looking for a flat face yorkie. lol

[yorkieloverz]

Oh ok. I checked out the website you gave me thanks for the information. Well, my yorkie has already exceeded the standard size. lol He's 10 pounds and he's only 5 1/2 months.

[yorkieloverz]

I will definitely do that. I decided to stick with the standard size. I have a little girl that will be ready in 2 more months. Wish me luck. Thanks again for the information.

Apple head refers to the shape of the TOP of the head, and has nothing to do with the length of the nose. Look at a picture of a chihuahua -- the head is very rounded on the top, or an apple head. The top of a terrier's head should be more flat. You can see the difference in these pictures:

There is nothing wrong with wanting a smaller one or wanting certain characteristics. I wouldnt look for an applehead because that is a sign of hydrocephalus. Any size yorkie can have health problems and the smaller ones dont have more health problems than the bigger ones they can be injured easier though

The standard size is not to exceed 7 pounds the includes 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 pounds too but none of them are called teacups unless your dealing with a very bad breeder.

Where are you getting her from? Are you going to make sure your other yorkie is fixed before you get her?

[yorkieloverz]

I appreciated your advice. I just wanted to let you know that I got my new yorkie today. Her max weight will be 6 pounds. Thanks

[yorkieloverz]

I just got my yorkie today. I appreciated the advice. Her max weight will be 6 pounds. No teacup for me. lol

[yorkieloverz]

[yorkieloverz]

I bought my boy from GoldDustYorkies.com he will be 3.5lns full grown. I think the mother is a bit bigger, so the girl pups will be bigger, most likely. There were mixed reviews on the breeder, but I have had a positive experience so far, although I've only had my pup for a week so far. My boy was $1,200 and $200 extra to ship. That's in your budget. But the girls are more expensive and would probably exceed your budget. However, please be aware that dogs cost A LOT of money. On necessities alone, not including the dog, I've spent $1,000+ in the first week. Start up costs are a bitch.
And like others have said, if they use the word "teacup" RUN!
Oh and just a tip, but never express up front what you want to pay. Someone might be selling a pup for $800 and bump up the price for you because you stated you could afford it.
Edit: just realized you bought a pup! Congrats! I'll leave my post for others to read.

You have gotten some good advice here. All my Yorkies have been rescues. My first was what bad breeders would have called a teacup (as others have said - No such thing, just a term for bad breeders to try to make more money!) and was a wonderful dog! He came from death row at a shelter. As did my California Lilly, all 4 1/2 lbs of her (Benjamin was just under 3 lbs). My current little boy is 6 lbs. Benjamin died very suddenly even though I never had health issues with him prior use to what turned out to be a brain aneurism that ruptured. Sadly I have had a couple vets tell me they have seen this fairly often in very tiny dogs. My California Lilly also died very suddenly, not long after I rescued her, when something in her lung ruptured. My current boy is 5, and seems exceptionally healthy!
