teacup website

My veterinarian HATES working on really small dogs. She actually was THANKFUL that Tristan was 13 lbs.

One day, when we brought Tristan in, there was another woman with her teacup Yorkie, asking if the vet knew of any studs. The vet kept trying to tell her that breeding her Yorkie would likely kill it (it was apparently somewhere around 2.5 lbs). The woman started walking off in a huff, then saw Tristan, and said "Oh! He's so cute! Would you like to see-" and my mom cut her off, saying "You never breed larger males with smaller females. Especially ones that are 7 times larger than the female. And he's neutered."

*sighs* some people...

Its ridiculous what they posted on the website:-

Please note that all puppies cost between $2500 and $4000 Canadian Dollars.

Also, for that price, only 1 year health guarantee is provided? Oh wow.

My baby is now 7 pounds+ and I am thinking here he looks small although he is pretty heavy if I carry him to the mall for half an hour. Maybe one day, they will have like one pound dog or less than a pound.

THANK-YOU, Vi! I came in here, expressly to say just that, and you beat me to it! I completely agree. I don't mind the term 'teacup' to describe the size of a dog - any more than I mind our recent tagging our over-7lb loved ones Jorkies . But, no WONDER people are breaking into homes to steal them!! My gracious, if the market pendulum doesn't swing soon, to bring some common sense into this, Yorkies won't be safe anywhere!

What's a Jorkie? Giant Yorkie?

I always just called Tristan a mutant Yorkie.

The first time I saw someone post that they had a Jorkie I thought it was a cross of a Jack Russell and a Yorkie -- lol! I have a Jack Russell. a dachshund and two Yorkies so I take some kidding about possible puppies. I assure them that the dachshund and JR are both spayed -- no worries.
