So you are thinking of getting a dog and thought that you might want to get an energetic and playful Yorkshire terrier as a companion for yourself. If this is the case then the best place for you to look for your new puppy is at a Yorkshire terrier breeder. Whatever be the case you should try to stay away from people or advertisements that ask you to buy a teacup Yorkshire Terrier.

This is something that can never be true. This is because there is no such thing as a teacup Yorkshire Terrier. These are generally the litter’s smallest and weakest puppies that are being advertised as teacup Yorkshire Terriers and in most cases they are quite underweight.

This means that they will weigh in less than the standard normal weight of 4-7 lbs, and this in turn will mean that your Yorkshire Terrier puppy will more than likely be prey to a number of diseases and illnesses. You will need to take good care of your teacup Yorkshire Terrier if you do decide to go ahead and get the smaller puppy.

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 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.

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.
