How To Buy A Teacup Yorkshire Terrier

So you’re looking to get a new dog and you thought that you might prefer to have the bright and playful companionship of an energetic Yorkshire terrier. If this is the case then the best place for you to look for your new canine pet is from a breeder of Yorkshire Terriers. Whatever you do though, stay away from people or breeders who are advertising that they have a teacup Yorkshire Terrier for adoption.

This is because of the fact that the above statement is simply not true. There is no such breed of dog known as a teacup Yorkshire Terrier. A teacup Yorkshire Terrier is basically the smallest puppy in a litter of puppies and more often than not a puppy that is undersized would be labeled as Yorkshire Terrier.

This means that these puppies weigh a lot less than the standard normal weight of Yorkshire Terriers which is between 4 and 7 lbs, and what this means is that your new Yorkshire Terrier puppy is more likely to catch a number of diseases and ailments. Teacup Yorkshire Terriers require a lot of care and attention and you should adopt them only if you have the time and money to protect them from the various diseases that affect them.

The thing you need to do in this instance is to find a reputable breeder who will be able to supply you with a teacup Yorkshire Terrier. The problem however, arises when you get to the “reputable” part of the reputable breeder. Simply stated, a reputable Yorkshire Terrier breeder will not sell you a puppy that is underweight and which will most likely be prone to bad health over the years.

This means that if you following a lead on an advertisement that provides details about providing a teacup Yorkshire Terrier to adopt, most probably involves an unscrupulous breeder. If you gather more information you would understand that most of these breeders would ask for a very large sum of money for these miniature or teacup Yorkshire Terriers.

More to the point you will also see that these very irresponsible Yorkshire Terrier breeders are also purposely breeding small puppies. They have to especially select small Yorkshire Terriers to do this, and over time you can be assured that the more and more of the genetic defects to be found in these undersized dogs will show up more prominently.

It is also true that you can go into this with your eyes wide open and adopt a teacup Yorkshire Terrier. You might also find that you teacup Yorkshire Terrier puppy has no ill health whatsoever, and that he is very rarely, if at all, sick. This is definitely not the norm and you will be a very dog owner indeed if this is the case.

The best thing that you can do however, would be to stay away altogether from breeders who advertise that they have a teacup Yorkshire Terrier to sell, and instead find a reputable Yorkshire Terrier breeder to find your perfect puppy companion.
