I want a teacup yorkie!!!!!

[tammy8833]

welcome! good luck finding a "smaller" yorkie = )
you will have to shop around to find something in your price range, dont let that or other people discourage you when it comes to the funds. i dont think its neccessary to make 6 figures to be eligible for a yorkie. i saved for all of mine which were under 700 bucks, and if they need medical attention i can cover it when neccessary. you can also apply for care credit though most vets.

i think some yorkie owners or breeders are overly dramatic about the purchase process of puppies. and telling someone if they cant afford the $1000 price tag look for another breed is rude, and snobby jmo not one person in my family understands why i spendt 650 on each one of mine, which is a lot less then others spend. but i love the breed and i wont let anyone try and talk me out of purchasing one because i dont carry 1000s in the bank. if my dogs need something they get it. its easier to come up with 200-300 for vet care than 1500.00 a dog

good luck

dont let anyone discourage you.

p.s. i saw a yorkie in the va are at very nice cost, pm for details if interested

We do not allow begging for free puppies or puppies at extreme reduced costs. Yorkies are generally from $500 on up, with most being in the $1000 to $1500 range. Please do not post looking for Yorkies below $500. If your budget for a Yorkie does not allow for $500 or more, you may want to look into Yorkie rescues or adoptions of older Yorkies, as they may be better suited to your price range. Feel free to PM sellers with an offer, but the public forum is not a place to beg or whine for a Yorkie.

Alas...the quoting of the rules...

Here's another rule for this section:
Due to blatant abuse, all new threads in this Yorkies For Sale or Wanted forum will be subject to moderation, meaning a YT moderator or administrator will need to approve it before it shows up. Thank you.

I'm assuming that the MODS found nothing majorly wrong with her posts, since they allowed it? This particular instance didn't really seem like begging to me.

To the OP--as mentioned before, there is no such thing as a teacup. Maybe you should check the rescue section though...sounds like maybe that is what would better suit what you are looking for. Good luck!

shelters are a good place to look but unforunately they cost the same a lot of times as going to a breeder and are very differcult to adopt from. i have seen some pretty puppies for adoption but several times i have seen $1000 price tag attached to the baby, and thats a big turn off, i understand the need for the money, but i also look at it this way..if im going to pay XX amount of dollars for a dog im going to a breeder for a puppy so they can adapt with my home and my personality. vs the older dog who cost the same amount and may not fit in for whatever reason.

i think a lot of shelters hurt theirselves with their own policys (which i know they only do to protect themselves and the doggies)

again good luck

You have found an excellent place to learn about Yorkies. Good luck in your search. There have been some darling smaller Yorkies listed at the different rescue sites from time to time.

Seriously? I have never heard of a shelter charging $1000 to adopt a dog! I'd definately go to a breeder too if that was the case. The shelters here adopt their animals for no more than about $100--and that is IF the animal still needs spay/neuter. Generally the don't go into in depth screening either (which isn't necessarily good). They may require a fenced in yard (most do) or someone with no children, or someone who is home for at least XX number of hours per day. Have you ever questioned why the rates were so much? I'd be very interested to know.

I need to reread the rules lol.

Looking at the title of the thread, with the crying icon perhaps they should rethink it. JMO

I understand how you feel, I wanted one of these babies for two years and i just saved money and finally got one. Dont worry, if you want one bad enough it will happen jsut with anything else, you have to be patient, I know it is hard i used to want one so bad i couldnt stand it and i used the term 'teacup" b/c i didnt know any better until i found my breeder and she explained it to me. If you see an ad onlne promising a yrkie for like 300.00 or something, dont give in it is most likely a scam Good luck on your search for your baby, keep us posted you wil gain alot of valuable info here

[Txgurl06]

Good luck!!! what is your price range?

Hi and a warm welcome to YT all the way from the UK!
I collect my new baby girl on sunday....did i just say SUNDAY????? EEEEEEKKK! LOL. I found her through a show breeder here in the uk and she was selling this little girl because she will be a bit on the small side (estimates between 3-4 lbs) and she will be too small to breed/show. I think waiting for a yorkie baby to become available from a well known responsible breeder is the best way to go..they do sometimes have smaller yorkies become available. My previous yorkie was around 6lbs in weight and she was very small and would attract attention everywhere we went.
goodluck in your search.

hey bama

yeah when i was looking on petfinder not too long ago there was a perfect, imo, perfect looking female yorkie and her adoption fee was $1000.00 because the way she looked, they figured they could make a great deal of profit from her to help with other shelter cost. which i can understand the need for.
Honestly imo too i have a hard time finding anything i like in a shelter..i know this sounds bad but when i am looking for a yorkie i want that pretty girl or boy with the long silky coat. not an older, sickly, rough looking verision of a yorkie. (please dont hate me) i havent seen any other adoption fees (here) under $450.00 for yorkies. again i understand the need but for another 150-200.00 i cant get a puppy with papers and no limitations or restrictions.

okay now i have to go grab my 2 year old son who is usuing my dove deodrant

Ah, makes sense. Well, that doesn't seem like the norm...let's hope. I understand needing income for shelter costs, but for some reason, that kind of irks me...doesn't seem like 'placing' the female was their main concern. Hmmm...
I understand what you mean about paying just a bit more, I suppose. Isn't this post where the OP said age didn't matter? Heck, I don't remember now...I think that was why I suggested it. I know the rescue groups here will place one for around $200 or so...better than $1000!

Where theres a will theres a way, don't give up theres a Yorkie out there for everyone. You just need to keep looking!!! Good luck.
