| Teacup usually refers to really tiny puppies, but their is no such thing as a tea-cup yorkie. If a breeder is using this term, their also probably charging a lot more $$$, just because they threw that word in their.

please never purchase a "tea cup" if they refer them to this. no respectable breeder will ever use such a term. yorkie standard size is not to exceed 7lbs. and if you look at our forum, you will see where people have come to our site w their newly purchased "tea cup" that is very ill and they want advise from us. please choose your breeder carefully

| Yes, there is no such thing as a "teacup" but to kind of answer your question.... If you are looking for a smaller sized yorkie (just go by the parents) Ask to see the parents or how big the parents were....you have a rough estimate with that. Instead of price, look for a quality breeder (such as a family doing it out of their home) as a pet store (which you should avoid anyways) will be outrageously expensive! (in the couple thousands) |

| Uh OH! You better duck!!! Some folks here are a little overly sensitive when others use the word TEACUP LOL..Anyway, the average price depends a lot on where you live. I live in CA so the average price of a smaller than standard yorkie is over $2000, but the prices go somewhat lower in the midwest to the southern states. Personally I wouldn't recommend getting a smaller than standard dog from tiny yorkie parents. Try to find standard size parents who happen to have a little one in the litter. You will most likely have a healthier pup that way. Don't get fooled by breeders who OVERPRICE their tiny ones, because you may end up paying a lot more in medical bills if their breeding practices are questionable. Good luck in your search. I know of a breeder who has a few tinies right now PM me if you're interested.

| They are usually priced about $1500and up. Some people have got them lower than that but when i have looked thats the price they usually start at. There is a website that even has them at 10,000. Your usually going to pay alot more than you would a standard yorkie

| Unfortunately, these so-called teacups are showing more and more cases of liver shunt and/or encephalitis. Both potentialy fatal. Go for health and vigor, not size. Remember that we should love with our heart, not our eyes. |
