Need your opinion yorkie lovers! :D

[intilis]

Love the "sparkle" in the eye! I don't mean to offend, but the "teacup yorkie" shirt is a deal breaker for me! I spend so much time trying to educate people that there is no such thing as a "teacup", that it makes me crazy to see a shirt promoting them. You may find that advertising such a shirt will offend true yorkie fans. I know I personally wouldn't buy from a site that sold a shirt like that. JMO

Also wanted to let you know that if you became a donating member you could sell your shirts here. It might be worth your while. Good luck to you!

I understand, but teacups are existent, even though they are not meant to exist . And I find them to be adorable even though they are mythical in a sense, Sorry if it offended you or anything, i'll just take it down then (:

I already made similar post on a thread where someone said they could not spay their "teacup" yorkie you posted a pic of your "tea cup" yorkiie T-shirt, I asked that you re-think your wording, glad to see you will not use it and I thank you for re-thinking. As intilis has stated she and many members work hard at trying to educate ppl that there is no such thing as teacup yorkies, only breeders that are looking to sell pups for big bucks use this wording as a gimmick, they want $, not quality, healthy puppies.

Have you made & sold shirts before this?

You're not offending anyone personally. It's not a personal thing. It's that the term "teacup yorkie" has been used, abused, and has caused a LOT of damage to this treasured breed by unscrupulous and highly unethical breeders (AND PUPPY MILLS!!!) who use the term in order to inflate their prices and reel in unsuspecting and uninformed buyers. It's a very, very negative term, actually, for those who are dedicated to this breed and advocate for it.

I'm sure you wouldn't want to support Puppy Mills, right? If not, I most definitely would not sell anything w/ teacup on it. There is just no such thing...the standard for the yorkie breed is anything 7 lbs or less. There is no weight that is deemed "teacup" by the breed club.

You're tshirts could be just wonderful - so don't give up ! I'd just tweak them a bit to make sure they're promoting a positive message about the breed.

You have some cute ideas, keep working and finding the perfect saying and design. I was wondering if you owned your own printing business. If not how do you plan on getting these made?

I loved the tennis ball tee myself because my guy Lou loved his tennis balls even though they looked impossible for him to get in his mouth he did! I just think they need to be yellow. Your shirts are adorable!

To tell you the truth its the first time I'm designing. Its the only way to express myself and my love for my yorkie (: And I never made and sold shirts before. I'm just currently a uni student which will be drowned in debt to even start a business like that. haha xD But I am using an online platform to sell my shirts. Well it would really be great if i could turn my hobby into money right? And at the same time feel happy about people actually liking and buying my shirt!

I know., yeah I understood that part, the bad side of having <4lb yorkie, and how supporting them would support those greedy breeders,. But dont you think they looked different from yorkies? I mean their fur is not long, so I'm really surprised they are not a breed on their own at all. Well I'm not supporting them puppy mills, and how they cruelly experiment on yorkies, i agree its unethical. I actually feel sad for them, despite of how adorable dogs they are. I've changed the name of "teacup" I hope it is better now (: and thank you for the compliments!

I don't own a printing business, but there's an online platform to showcase and sell these t-shirts, I am just a student so I cant afford to be a donating member to post a link, but if I actually made some money out of it, I would really want to become a donating member here. Thanks! I will keep on making them on my free time! thank you guys for all the support! I've designed a new one, I actually released it already and its on sale, the previous one with the dog quote and this fearless shirt for only $14, and I chose the premium material clothing so I think its a pretty good deal!

I agree with the others about not using the word teacup on your T-shirts. I have a little guy but it's not from unethical breeding. He just happened to be the runt of 3. His dad is small (4 lbs) and granddad is small too. Mommy was over 5 lbs. All his testing and blood work came out great and shows him to be in excellent health (so far). If I were you, you could change the words to:

My precious yorkie
My precious baby yorkie
My precious little yorkie
My precious little boy
My precious little girl

Using the word little can be referred to them as being puppies, when they were puppies or even being full grown. You can have a dog that's 50 lbs and still refer to him/her as your little boy or girl. Just some suggestions.

I like it better on the sweatshirt than the tshirt
