Why Not To Be Misled By A Teacup Yorkie
Have you been thinking of getting a teacup Yorkshire terrier as your playful companion? If you are, then there is probably one thing going on in your mind right now, and that is how to get to know about someone who breeds teacup Yorkies, so that I can get a cute little teacup Yorkie for myself.
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 Yorkie breed is already classed as Toy breed anyway in the AKC, and there is most definitely no other definition for teacup Yorkies. Yorkies are by their very nature small in size and stature and although some of them can grow to a larger weight size, for the most part this will be 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 such unscrupulous and untrustworthy breeders who would try to fool you by resorting to terms such as teacup Yorkies to get you to buy from them. You should try to remember this fact when you are looking around for a breeder to buy your very own Yorkies puppy. Any breeder that is honest, trustworthy and reputed would never sell you a Yorkie that would ultimately grow up to be undersized or underweight.
If you are wondering how would the breeders know which terrier is going to be underweight, then you would want to know that they can determine this as they have years of experience in this profession and also they know that underweight Yorkies would be those who are the smallest in the litter.
And the reason why a good reputable Yorkie breeder won’t sell you “teacup Yorkies” is because most breeders take pride in their work. They know that such small teacup Yorkies will more than likely face many health problems over their lifetime.
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.
If a breeder or someone else is trying to sell you teacup Yorkies whatever the sum of money, you are best advised to stay away from this person. They are not genuine and very possibly specialize in breeding small undersized Yorkies, which in itself can be thought of as inhumane since most teacup Yorkies suffer from ill health and can also be more prone to other illnesses and genetic problems.
