If you’re thinking of getting a new dog and you might want to look at a bright, energetic and playful companion such as a Yorkshire terrier. If this is what you want, the best place to search for your new mate is at a Yorkshire Terriers breeder. Whatever may be the case, one thing you should try, is to stay away from people or breeders who advertise that they have a teacup Yorkshire Terrier ready to be adopted.
This is simply not a true statement. There is no such thing as a teacup Yorkshire Terrier. These are instead the smallest puppies of any given litter and most if not all dogs labeled as a teacup Yorkshire Terrier will be undersized.
This means that your Yorkshire puppy is going to be an easy prey for a large number of diseases and illnesses as it would weigh a lot less than the normal weight of a Yorkshire Terrier, which is about 4 to 7 pounds. A lot of care and nurturing would be required from you if you decide to go in for a smaller sized or miniature Yorkshire Terrier.
What you need to do is to find a reputable breeder who can provide you with a healthy teacup Yorkshire Terrier. But the problem arises when you get to the “reputable” part of a breeder. This is because of the fact that a reputed Yorkshire Terrier breeder would never provide you with a puppy that is underweight and is more likely to suffer from various ailments in the future.
This means that those ads which state that a teacup Yorkshire Terrier is ready for adoption are all untrue and misleading. If you decide to check the credentials of most of these breeders you are likely to find out that the teacup Yorkshire Terriers offered by them are infact the runts of the litter which are being sold at exorbitant prices.
Also you would see that most Yorkshire Breeders that breed these kinds of dogs are in fact very irresponsible and only care about making money. The breeders who specialize in these so called teacup Yorkshire Terriers use very small Yorkshire Terriers to breed these puppies and over time you can be sure that some kind of genetic anomalies are bound to creep into these puppies.
It is also true that you may be able to go into all this and get a teacup Yorkshire Terrier for yourself. And find that the puppy you have got is free from any kind of diseases and rarey, if at all falls sick. Although this may not be the norm in most cases but you would surely be very lucky if this is indeed true for your cases.
However the best thing to do is to stay away altogether from breeders or pet sellers who advertise that they have a teacup or a miniature Yorkshire Terrier ready for adoption, and instead try to find breeders who are reputed and can provide you with a normal Yorkshire Terrier which can prove to be a great companion.
