ksbiewers has a tiny girl for sale. Rocha was born in April and still weighs just over 3 pounds. Very sweet girl, loves belly rubs. Look for her thread in Yorkies for sale or wanted.

Forgot to mention that Rocha is a full sister and litter mate to Rishona in my avatar. Rishona has been to two show weekends (8 shows) She has won 7 best of breed, 1 toy group win, 1 toy group 2nd, 1 toy group 3rd and 1 reserve BIS puppy.

ummmmm...., so interpretation of a 'good' one is under 7lbs, and both ears erect

I'm not going to be mean - or say anything offensive to you - but I will say (as nicely as possible) that to me, it just sounds like you haven't done a whole lot of research on this breed

Which is OK - because ALOT of people make that mistake in the beginning and SO DID I. I think ALOT of us here did.

Now as for you saying that you want to find a "good one" - I personally don't think you necessarily mean that the one you have now ISN'T good - perhaps you just meant that you want to find a "good" "teacup" (MEANING - the size you want, the cute factor, etc.) so I won't jump to any conclusions (bare with me here YT members, I am TRYING TO BE NICE lol). I'm sure you love the baby you have now - I guess you are just looking for something smaller, which is totally FINE. There is NOTHING wrong with that. I have a bigger dog and although I love her very much, I was ALSO looking for something smaller - which is why I became interested in the Yorkie breed. But anyway -

Just be sure that you do your research on this breed. No, there are no such thing as teacups, and YES...breeders WILL sometimes try and tell you that YES, you are in fact buying a "teacup" when in all actuality it is just a sales pitch used to make people THINK that they are buying a "special, tiny" dog. And just so you know - NO (and I do mean NO) breeder can GUARANTEE how much a pup is going to weigh when he/she is full grown. They can only give you their BEST GUESS. Now, alot of times you (or the breeder rather) are able to tell whether a pup is going to be on the larger or smaller side when it reaches adulthood, but the exact WEIGHT is NEVER a guarantee.

There are growth chart estimates online - just do a search

My best advice to you is to do AS MUCH research on this breed as possible before you go out and buy other Yorkie

AND - your at the best place to start your research

Good luck in finding your new baby

I can't help but feel that little bundle of love you have there is amongst one of the sweetest, prettiest little bundles of fur babies about. Next time you pick it up please take a moment and tell he/she how beautiful it is and how much you love it, and it just came to mind, maybe it's ear might just start standing up.
I do think that is nice you are looking for a playmate for your yorkie, hope you find one that is to your liking, so that you can pick it up love and hold and tell it how beautiful it is, ears up or down. Oh, to just be so thankful to have a healthy, healthy one, Wishing the best for you. Really one never knows what size they are going to be and what they will look like in color, and after reading so many of the heart wretching experiences that so many are going through with health issues on the sick forum here with a new puppy, one can only stop and count our blessings to have a healthy one. Please know this is typed to you with "good" intentions seek for a healthy, healthy puppy above all else. Good luck in getting your new puppy.

The runt of the litter doesnt always stay small so I wouldnt count on that if you want a small one. My runt was 12 oz when I brought her home at 8 weeks. She is now 6 lbs the same size as her mother

Just curious, 8 shows in 2 weekends? How did you do that? All the shows I've been to have taken most of the day. Wow! Were they AKC or something else?

Dorianyorkie · 01-02-2007, 01:15 PM

If you are looking for a tiny, make sure to buy from a show/reputable breeder. Do not but from a backyard breeder or someone that the only purpose of breeding is to make money and not the quality of the dogs. Good luck in your search. I bought my baby from a show breeder here in Los Angeles and I am very happy I spent extra time to search for the right baby. I wanted to have a small one but also a healthy and quality one.

JeanieK · 01-02-2007, 02:03 PM

Just to add my 2cents worth.

I think she was led to believe that "teacups" were a separate breed, and she thought she was buying one, therefore when it got to be over 7 pounds she felt she had been scammed.

So in her saying she wanted a "good one" perhaps, she simply meant she wanted what she thought she was buying, not realizing that they don't exist. That the word is just a description, not a breed. She had no idea that "teacups" are not a separate breed.

As for her be willing to take the runt of the litter, well someone has to give them a home too.

That is the problem with using that term when you are selling. It makes people believe that it is a separate breed, not just a size description.

There is nothing wrong with the term in itself, it's the way it is used to extort money out of people that is wrong.

When someon is selling one and describing it as a "teacup" they deserve to be bashed.

When someone is buying looking for a "teacup" they need to be educated so they aren't taken in by some slick advertising.

The shows around here do two on Saturday and two on Sunday I believe. so it would be possible.

OK. I am sorry but I have to say something here.. this is not at all fact.. its not the size of the yorkie, its the line. My sister who lives in L.A had a larger yorkie because she was told they are healther, only to find out that is not fact at all. Penny was always having to be taken to vet. She would get so sick, Many vet trips later she found out she had a heart problem so with meds.. she was able to share more time with her before she die.. Her Vet who is very well known to the rich in L.A. supports the fact that its not the size but the line. It people who place this so called fact on the little guys and to be honest I am sick of hearing it. Its not true.. Take a vote on here and see for yourself. How many have little tiny yorkies on here that are fine and health? I am one.... now take a vote for the whole world that has one.. or did... Your facts are not based on truth. I am sorry to say. If you get a dog that is in breed or the line has to much in breeding you can have problems. they may have 100 fine and healthy yorkies and one bad could pop up. its also how they are taken care of. and how is the mommy being taken care of. she is gettting enough food and good food and fresh water to insure healthy puppies. there is so much more to look at not the size. So please stop saying little yorkies are sickly they are not.. any dog can be sickly if not taken care of..
