Do You Really Want 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 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.

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 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.

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.
