Teacup I Don't Think So? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LOL I just looked as those pictures. Did you see the size of those feet. Do they think no one will notice?

Those pups are adorable. Seems to be standard or Pet Quality.
They still will make a good Family Dog
As a breeder it upsets me to see the word "Teacup".
Anyone who knows the history of the Yorkshire Terrier knows that they are "Toy Dogs" and there is no such a word for them.
Yet you see the ads all over, guess it is a selling point.
My pups are under 5lbs, I sell them as Standard.
AKC Standard is 4 - 7 lbs anyways.
I always have to explain the made up words you see from some of these ads.
All I can say is:
"Buyer beware!!!!!"

They must be the JUMBO Teacup size

Well said!

Those pups are cute ..... But they are huge ... compared to the "t-cup" world... they are really wet behind the ears if they think some fool is going to fall for that !!

shame on those people acting like they have tiny dogs to sale for so much they shouldn't own yorkies much less be breeding selling them! boo . i did send a email i'm sure they won't appreciate basically saying there's no such thing as a teacup yorkie from a repu. breeder!

It took everything i had not to laugh at her on the phone!!! she told me if you look around i have the prettiest yorkies around! BTW what vet would ever say that lol!!!

Who do they think they're kidding - it's to random so they just estimate the weight? When I take my pups to the vet, they are weighed on a huge digital scale by a technician and have their temperature taken before the vet even sees them.
