Teacup Yorkie: Is It Worth Buying?
Do you want a Teacup Yorkshire terrier to be your canine companion? If you do, the first thing that would come to your mind would be how to find out someone who breeds teacup Yorkies so that you can get a miniature sized puppy for yourself.
But before you proceed to look out for breeder you should know one thing that there is no such thing as a teacup Yorkies. You do not have any breeds of Yorkies that can be called teacup Yorkies or miniature Yorkies.
In fact the Yorkies breed is already a toy breed as classified by the American Kennel Club and there is in fact no definition of the term teacup Yorkies. Yorkies themselves are very small dogs and come in very small sizes, although some dogs may grow up to become quite large, but for most cases this is quite uncommon.
Normally a Yorkie would weigh around 4 to 7 pounds. And while anything above this is considered to be alright, a Yorkie that weighs less than 4 pounds when fully grown up is not considered to be a normal Yorkie.
However, there are many unscrupulous people who would try to fool you by resorting to use terms such as teacup Yorkie and they are doing this just to make a quick buck. This is one of the things that you need to remember while going out to buy a Yorkie. Any Yorkshire Terrier breeder who is reputed and respected in the community would never sell an underweight Yorkshire Terrier to you, whatever be the case.
If you’re wondering how they can tell which Yorkie puppies will be underweight, the only real reason is because they have years of experience behind them as well as the fact that even as puppies these small Yorkies will be the runts of the litter.
Most of the breeders take pride in the work they do and this is the reason why no reputed breeder would sell an underweight, teacup Yorkie, to you. This is mainly because they know that small or teacup Yorkies are generally marred by diseases and genetic illnesses.
This can cause a lot of heartache and emotional pain to those owners who are not prepared to deal with this fact. It can cost the owner of a teacup Yorkie a lot of money in order to keep its prized Yorkie in better health.
You are best advised to stay away from any person or breeder who is trying to sell a teacup Yorkie to you, no matter how much money is involved. These breeders are not at all genuine and specialize in breeding small sized Yorkies which are either suffering from health issues or may suffer from serious health disorders in the future and possibly maybe even certain kinds of genetic disorders.
