Looking for a breeder MICRO MINI YORKIE FEMALE

Hello, I need a expert to recommend a breeder on healthy Tiny Yorkie --with a baby doll face -colby body-silky hair..
To wgt when full grown 2 1/2 to 3 lbs max.

Any experts out there--I have picked out a very cute --very small female --she is 4 mos. she weighed 1 lb 11 oz. ---Her price is 3,000.00 plus shipping is that really high for one of these tiny babies?

Thanks--

Exclamation Uh Oh!

I am not a Yorkie breeder and I am not an expert, but in my opinion I would steer clear of "tiny yorkies" I have read on the internet in many places that teacups have many health problems because of their size, etc. and I even read that teacups dont exist. People say they are just the runts of the litter which are bred to make even smaller Yorkies. I dont know what to tell you but when I get another Yorkie for my family, I plan to visit the breeders house, meet them and the parents, meet the puppy before I pay for it, and have a health guarantee, etc. Buying a puppy is a major thing and if you dont know what to look out for or what to be weary of, than it can be very difficult.

I found some websites with information on "teacups" I don't know how reliable the sources are but they seem true.

"Avoiding the hype. Beware of breeders selling "teacup" Yorkies. This is a made-up marketing term for Yorkshire Terriers weighing only 2 or 3 pounds. Stay away from any breeder who uses this term.

I do NOT recommend a Yorkshire Terrier under 4 pounds. These individuals are great risks in the health department. Their bones are extremely fragile. There is not enough room in their mouth for healthy teeth. Their internal organs are often weak and can fail suddenly. They tend to have great difficulty regulating their blood sugar and can go into hypoglycemic shocks and comas.

To make matters worse, some breeders deliberately breed these high-risk Yorkshire Terriers and charge outrageous prices. There are breeders on the Internet right now charging $1000, $1500, $2000 for "teacup Yorkshire Terriers." Don't be taken by these irresponsible people. Stick with Yorkies who will mature at 4 pounds and up. And don't pay such ridiculous prices for any Yorkshire Terrier. "

"Teacup " Yorkies

One of the most frequently asked questions that we get is "do you have any teacup Yorkies?". The simple truth is that neither we nor anyone else has a "teacup" Yorkshire terrier because no such classification exists. Let me clarify.

The official breed standard for the Yorkshire terrier calls for adult Yorkies to have a weight of no more than seven(7) pounds.

To be exact, the breed standard states: "Weight: Must not exceed seven pounds." This definition was approved on April 12, 1966. To review the breed standard for Yorkshire terriers, click here.


Why then, you may ask, do so many breeders advertise teacup Yorkies? There are only two reasons:

* Fraud.
Some unscrupulous breeders advertise teacup Yorkies to take advantage of those people who are not very familiar with Yorkies. By telling someone that they are getting a "teacup", they make the buyer feel that they are getting something special (as if one get much more special than a Yorkie at all:-)). Beware, many of these people also advertise "toy" and or "standard" Yorkies with weights up to 10 or 12 pounds. As stated above, a standard Yorkshire terrier must weigh no more than 7 pounds.

* Ignorance.
Sadly, there are people out there breeding Yorkshire terriers who simply aren't knowledgeable enough about Yorkies to know that there is no such thing as a "teacup". One can only image their general breed knowledge and the quality of their puppies.

I was told of a breeder recently who has Yorkies weighing less than two(!!) pounds all the time. The person writing wanted to know if we had puppies of that size. I must point out that as of last year, the smallest dog in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, was a Chihuahua who weighed just under 2 pounds at 1 lb. 14 oz. For someone to claim that they regularly have adult dogs weighing less than 2 pounds is a stretch to say the least.

On average, Yorkshire terriers weigh between 5 and 7 pounds as adults. There are, of course, smaller Yorkies born that will weigh less. Most Yorkshire terriers that you see participating in the show ring tend to be 6 to 7 pounds. A dog weighing 3 to 4 pounds is considered very small and often requires special care. Dogs this small should not be handled by children expect under strictly controlled conditions. Children are clumsy by nature--not intentionally--and dogs weighing less than 4 pounds are fragile, with easily broken bones.

Thanks for all the input!

I really want a yorkie--size yes small to put in my purse! To be with me 24/7
My boss & I rent a office from his wife who is a Dr. Vet Clinic. The baby will be with me at work--I know the price for a tcup yorkie is crazy! I have been searching for 4 months now for one--I came across this breeder or broker ! I have fallen in love with her. I just love her little doll face---I will not be breeding her. There are a couple of yorkie that I have checked on the prices are 1500.00 to 10,000 ---I'm not a rich woman.

I could e-mail you a picture of her! Everytime I pick one out from others breeders if you don't get that deposit down --the pups are gone within a day! people are buying them fast.

If anyone knows of a honest breeder where I can get a very small baby--could tou send me the websites?

Thnaks for all the help.
I am so overwelmed by the proceses of buying a puppy- -If I go to the house of the breeder I would have to drive 1200 miles--It would save me fuel by flying her which is 250.00..........Thanks ladies & gents

You can fly and pick up a pup for not much more than the $250.00
If your going to spend money on getting a tiny pup you should just spend a bit more to make sure the trip home is safe.

Also I would ask if the pup has been screened for Liver shunt or heart problems. Along with Hydro this is the biggest worry I would have with a tiny. Get it in writing that you get a refund not replacement to help with vet costs if there is a problem.

I live in Indiana there was a post for a 8 month old female that was 3.5 lbs for 500 ack reg. well she was gone anyways She said she had a tea cup for 850.00 I told her I didn't want a tea cup but her # is 1-812-678-2172 her name was Kerstin Knight, I DO NOT KNOW HER or what kind of breeder or person she is. But thought I would pass the word onto you.I just felt sorry for the little girl because my hubby said she had been in the paper all week. Plus one day I would like to breed, I stay at home and my sweet little Tommy is a big - huge part of my life and I just love animals.Good luck on finding your Tea Cup. There just not for me.

My little man will be 2 in August and I have not had any health problems with him. But I will tell you this that I did have to have a set of teeth pulled and will have to have dentals every year for the rest of his life to insure that the plaque is removed. I also had extra teeth removed so that all the teeth fit in his small mouth. I would check the back ground of the puppies parents and see if there is any health problems.
As for the price - I sell my puppies for $1300, and they are that size. I also will not ship a puppy without the owner coming to get it at my house. If you have any questions please fell free to email me at deanna.yorkiebabies@mindsring.com. I also have a friend breeder that has females puppies that are less that $3000 and will be that size full grown.

Below is a picture of Romeo at 8wks. He weighed 14 oz then.

I was nervous also but my daughter ( who is a licensed Vet Tech ) and a Vet that I trust are the ones that makes sure that my babies are healthy. My Romeo came home right after he woke up good, he was on pain med. Of course I held him almost all day and babied him. You really need to get this done real soon to prevent bacteria that leads to bone loss and heart problems. You also need to get yearly dentals to remove plaque. I would also recommend your Vet to remove a few extra teeth so that there is room in their small mouth.
