Teacup, Micro Mini Yorkies Be very weary about buying a teacup, micro mini, ect... Yorkie I am sure you all know how much more expensive they are. I paid top dollar for one of my yorkies from a website in Oklahoma that was supposes to only get to 2.5 pounds well, he came to me less than that but he was starved, you could see all of his back bones. Now he is a 7 pound boy. I still love him very much but this is a big scam that alot of pet stores and internet breeders pull. It is very important you see the pup in person and the pups parents before you buy. this is the only way of knowing the true size. Just because the website or store looks nice, does NOT mean they are honest. |
No one should trust any breeder that advertises those kinds of dogs. No ethical breeder will try to sell them, because they do not exist. Also, no ethical breeder would promise the adult weight of a puppy, because it is completely unpredictable. You are very lucky that your puppy was only starved, and not sick. And within standard weight, no less. :D |
hey what was the website? my sisters friend got two long hair chis from a site in oklahoma and she was very happy.. but i looked at the website and there was so many red flags |
a 7 lb Yorkie is much healthier than a 2.5 pounder .... consider yourself lucky ... |
The breeder I found my newest puppy from did advertise as teacup, but I inquired about why she used it and she basically said she's always done that and isn't going to change her terminology for others... it's just what she calls them. She is a truly good breeder though, so I didn't think much of it, however she didn't promise a specific size puppy to me either :). |
My goodness I tell everyone be careful of the ones that say tea cup I have a small baby right now (LILLY) wieghts only 2 pounds at 5months and I hope she reaches 4lb. She is so tiny a fragil but do not tell her that Lilly thinks she is a Killer. Her nickname is TROUBLE |
tiny girl good evening all, i have a 14mo. girl that weighs 3.2 lbs. she is so fraile, but she looks at me with those big eyes and i just melt. she can get by with anything. then i have a 7mo. 6lb girl. very dominant, and now in puppy school. she is so very different. she doesnt appear to require my attention as much. and she loves getting dressed up to go. it is true!! Each is their own personality....:animal-pa |
When I got Lacey, I was told she would be about 4-5 lbs...I did not pay top dollar (I dont think I did) and now at almost 8 months she is'nt even 2 lbs..I doubt she'll get much bigger, but I wish she would..tiny dogs are so fragile. |
not only knowing the parents but the grandparents. if you know your breeder and have done all the background ck, i don't see anything wrong with seeing photos and adopting the baby. all three of my babies came from a breeder in tx and i had them shipped to me. i have never been more happy. even if they were in your area and you went to the home and saw the parents, this does not guarentee the size. this happened to me. both parents were small 5-6lbs but my kirby ended up being 12lbs. |
too bad you didn't find YT before you bought your puppy. you would have known that there is no such thing as a micro mini or teacup. It is just an advertising ploy to get more money. As a breeder, I can tell you that it is only a guesstimate what size they will be. I have some larger ones and some smaller ones but I sell them all the same usually. |

When I got Tino he was not advertised as a teacup or anything like that~ His adult weight is 3.5 lbs. He is a happy healthy stud~ Only thing is with breeders who use that term make it sound as if 5 lb yorkies are huge...THEY ARE SMALL!! People don't understand how little some of the dogs really are. My baby is tiny and I didnt realise how tiny he would be until I brought him home. My breeder is wonderful if you want to check her out she is at dandieyorkies.com , she keeps in touch with me to this day, I bought Tino a year and a half ago.:thumbup: |

I didnt pay anymore for bailey then her much larger brothers were going for she was not sold to me as anything but a "smaller girl" I love her to death and I do enjoy all the attention she gets when we go out however, at 1.9 lbs and almost 8 months I do worry constantly about her health, rushing her to the vet the moment she coughs or sneezes and when guests come over or we go to visit another house I always have to remind people that she is there, so they dont step on her. Im always worried about hypoglycemia with her and let me tell you I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK when she went in for her spay. I wish I could get her to gain a little weight, but she just dosnt seem to gain any. Her vet says based on her structer she is average weight but goodness it is a full time job taking care of my baby! Count yourself blessed that your little one isnt this tiny. Like other people have said on this post and others Even a 14 lb yorkie is still small in the dog world. When I get another one I most definatly will look for one around 5-7lbs |
