Q: Teacup Yorkies?
I am looking for a free teacup yorkie. male/female…doesn’t matter. I cannot afford the regular price of a yorkie. My birthday is coming up and a yorkie is the only thing I really want. I have found some offers (some seem like scams) but have gotten no replies yet. I live in southern maryland. I am willing to drive to or meet anyone w/ yorkies in maryland. I am also willing to pay reasonalble shipping costs. I would rather be able to see the yorkie, pick it up myself, and pay in person. I also don’t like the idea of a puppy being shipped like an object. Can anyone help me or cut me a deal??? The most I can afford is $500, but I am looking for something $200/less. I know it sounds like a lot to ask, but I really want this for my birthday and I am going to try my best to get it. Someone please help me. I assure you that if I get my dream dog, a yorkie, I will give it more than enough love, care, and attention. It will probably be spoiled rotten.

A: Here is some Baby Yorkies in shelters in PA/NJ area:

You can also look through the list of Shelters/Rescues in MD. They have “Small Breed” rescues so you will most likely find a small yorkie:

Try http://www.craigslist.org click on your state on the right and under COMMUNITIES click on PETS and look to see if anyone is needing to rehome their yorkie.

‘teacup’ is just a term used for backyard breeders and puppy mills. They slap on 1000$ price tag but in the long run you will most likely be paying thousands in vet bills as they are so tiny. Find a reputable Yorkie Breeder if you do not want to rescue. You get what you pay for.

I paid almost 1000$ for my Dachshund pup. Took me 2 years to go through breeders and figure out which one was the best. She is AKC registered and champion blood lines and her parents temperaments are amazing. I have a 2 year health guarentee also and I could show her if I wanted too. But she is just a pet and will be spayed when old enough. I wanted a HEALTHY pup so I paid for a healthy pup.

Good luck in finding one! & Happy Birthday!

Q: teacup yorkies?
so ive decided i want a teacup yorkie.. anyone have one? and can you tell me like what to expect and all that.. and what are some good names for both genders. i havent decided if i want a boy or a girl
o and is there a short hair version. i dont really want to have him groomed all the time.

A: Well, honestly there is no designated “tea-cup” yorkie, there are just big ones and small ones; no sub-breed or anything like that. My family breeds yorkies and so far the larget out of any litter has been 5lbs. The mother is aprx. 4lbs and the father is 3 1/2lbs and their smallest puppy thus far is 2lbs. She’s had three litters and is going on a fourth.
Our female yorkie, the mother, is a “fox-type” yorkie, which has a more fox-like face than a “teddy-bear” yorkie, as well as shorter, more wire-type hair, rather than the silky long fur you tend to see in the show ring. Several of her puppies have come out the same way, though the father is a long silky haired teddy-bear yorkie, and therefore we also get mixes. Trimming the dog yourself is simple and easy if you get it young and accustom it to taking baths, getting hair cuts, and nail trims. In a puppy, look at the parents and their sizes and coat and structure types. A puppy will usually take after its parents; though we have had “freak” genes from time to time which threw the gene pool for a loop. lol. I’ve found that most yorkie puppies who look curly at a young age, tend to develope silkier/longer hair and take on a teddy-bear type appearance. However this is not always the case.

My best advice would be to look at the parents, talk to the owners, try not to buy from a pet store, and try not to buy from a puppy mill. A puppy from a secure and friendly home is often the better dog.

Q: How big do Teacup Yorkies need to be in order to have puppies without almost killing the mom?
I have a 3.8 lb teacup yorkie and would love for her to have puppies but am afraid she wont make it. I know some small male yorkies that I could breed her with so her puppies would be super small.

A: i think you guys are all really rude, when people say teacups they are just refering to the size of the dog. they are not trying to say its a new breed of any kind. i do agree breeding a dog under 5 lbs is not a good idea. just because a dog is tiny does not mean it is sick. i have two yorkshire terriers and they are under 4lbs and they are perfectly healthy. i dont think i am mean because i wanted small dogs for my family. we all have our opinions.

Q: Teacup yorkies??????
Are teacup Yorkie’s healthy dogs and an actual breed or are they like a runt or something?
please answer this one to http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuY2bgnTme.nsqAdcfO8X8fsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080913154618AAr4IDW

A: Unhealthy runt bred by BYB and puppy mills.

Q: Is it true that teacup yorkies are not healthy?
I have heard that teacup yorkies are not healthy no matter what the weight. I want to know if that is true.

A: very true. They are extremely underweight no matter how much you feed them, and if you feed them too much they will be overweight.

VERY unhealthy dogs!

But their population is getting smaller and smaller. So I don’t blame people who think they are not real, they are endangered.

Q: Are toy yorkies the same as teacup yorkies?
I saw that there were toy and teacup yorkies were for sale, and I was wondering if they were the same or different. And since teacups aren’t healthy, are toy yorkies?

A: In that BOTH are LIES stuck on em by slimy crooks to SCAM the lazy gullible maroons,….
There’s NO SUCH THING as “teacup” OR “toy” YT.

Go read the BREED STANDARD & find out what the CORRECT & ONLY CORRECT size is.

Q: Does goldies yorkies sell sick teacup yorkies at a high price?
I wanted to get my boo a male teacup yorkie so i called goldies yorkies and asked how much and they told me that the small dog cost $1,800 plus $250 for shipping. is this right or is it a scam?

A: It may be legit, but if you ask me, it’s Highway robbery!!

$1800 for a sick runt that was bred in a puppymill?
Then… $250 for “shipping”. No *real* breeder will ship their pup!! It’s a living, breathing thing. Not a pair of shoes to be shipped FedEx!

Does anyone know where I can find a breeder of yorkiepoos or teacup yorkies in northern New York? Near Watertown, Ny?

A: Please if you want to pay a breeder, buy a purebred Yorkie, not a yorkipoo ot a teacup yorkie. Those are advertising terms to help the breeder make more money.

I want to get a teacup yorkie, and no I am not planning to carry it around in my purse or totebag or to dress her or him in silly outfits. =]
But, I was wondering if that type of dog is easy to take care of like grooming, feeding, attention etc.

I need useful facts and personal experience!

Thank you have a wonderful day! =]]

A: Yorkies make nice pets but avoid any breeder that advertises a “teacup” anything. Teacups are dogs bred down smaller than the AKC size standard. This breeding practice frequently leads to unhealthy puppies that are are often too frail to survive. Runts of the litter are sometimes advertised as “teacups, but what they are are sickly pups. Breeders who intentionally breed teacups do so to make money not because they interested in the health of the breed. So get a yorkie from a breeder that breeds to AKC standard and avoid the potential heartache.
