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.

Before you proceed any further though you might be interested to know that there is no such thing as teacup Yorkies. There is no separate breed of Yorkies that can be classified as 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.

Most Yorkies will come in at a normal weight of between 4-7 lbs normally. And while anything larger is alright, Yorkies which weigh in less the 4 lbs when they are full grown are not considered to be normal.

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 unsure that how would these people know which Yorkies are going to turn up as undersized, then you should understand that they have years of experience behind them and also know that those puppies who are going to be undersized are generally those who are the runts of the litter.

Most of the breeders take pride in the work they do and this is the reason why no reputed breeder would sell an underweight, teacup Yorkie, to you. This is mainly because they know that small or teacup Yorkies are generally marred by diseases and genetic illnesses.

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.

You are best advised to stay away from a person who is trying to sell you a teacup Yorkie, whatever may be the sum of money involved. This is because of the fact that they are not genuine and possible are specialists in breeding dogs of small size, which in itself is very inhumane considering the fact that most of the teacup Yorkies are more prone to illnesses and genetic problems than normal Yorkshire terriers.

Not everyone is interested in getting a Beagle or a Labrador or even a Puggle as a pet. In fact there are some people who like to own Chihuahuas, Terriers, Huskies, Poodles and the cute and lovely Shih Tzus’. The dog breed mentioned at the last may not be the one that is suited to everyone but it cannot be denied that there are several people who are more than interested in being future Shih Tzu owners.

Of course not everyone looking for a puppy starts off with a Shih Tzu puppy in mind, but when fate crosses this adorable puppy across their paths, it seems to be more than they can do to resist the inquisitive faces, the short upturned nose with the hair fanning out in all directions and the gentle adoring eyes staring at them with patent mischief.

Living an apartment life is something a Shih Tzu puppy can handle very easily; this is because if the fact that they love being indoors and can be active in small indoor spaces too. A Shih Tzu puppy is also very indolent and more often than not you would find your Shih Tzu puppy lying in various comfortable positions around your home.

This is the reason why you should never over feed your Shih Tzu puppy, as it can very easily become fat and lazy. The best thing is to keep your puppy well fed and fully exercised. If you live in an apartment then it is necessary that you take your puppy out for regular walks. However try not to overtire your puppy by going for long distance walks, as Shih Tzu is a small breed of dog and doesn’t require a lot of exercise.

If you have a yard, whether it’s large or small, you might want to think about letting your Shih Tzu puppy outside to run and scamper for a while. A daily walk is still good, but in this case, your Shih Tzu puppy is getting its exercise in small regular bouts through the day.

A great thing about Shih Tzu dogs is that they make great watch dogs or guard dogs; they are easily aroused by something that is not ordinary and tend to bark at that thing or person. However they do not keep barking all the time, which is one of the reasons why a Shih Tzu is a good apartment dog.

You might also like to know that although Shi Tzu’s in general are alright with gentle children or older children, they can be snappish if given the right set of circumstances (like a good old fashioned tail-pulling!) and might not be the most suitable of dogs to have around very young and/ or mischievous children.

One advantage of having is Shih Tzu is that it is the ideal companion for people with allergies to dog hair. This is because of the fact that Shih Tzus’ shed almost no hair and this quality makes them a good choice for people with allergies.

You might be surprised to know but Shih Tzus’ make very good show dogs. A little bit of grooming can make your very own Shih Tzu a champion show dog.

If you’re interested in getting a Boxer and this is the first time for you, you will want to go about this methodically. This means finding out first and foremost all about Boxers. And one of the little nuggets of information that you will come across will be the different colors a Boxer comes in. For instance, you have fawn colored, red, white, and also brindle Boxers.

Dog owners and lover do not have a favorite color, although brindle Boxers do seem to be liked by a lot of people. Also it is quite common to see white markings on Boxers of all colors.

If you have ever been an owner of a boxer, then you know how playful and feisty Boxers can be. You would also be aware of the fact that they make good pets and there is no need to be scared of their ferocious behavior.

As mentioned earlier Boxers come in a variety of shades from red to white to fawn, and as mentioned dogs seem to be slightly further ahead in the popularity stakes than the other colors. But this has nothing whatsoever to do with a Boxer’s temperament so if you were under the mistaken impression that it does, you can get that idea out of your head immediately.

Boxers are very friendly and can be trained at an early age to coexist with other animals or pets. There are various reasons that indicate that a Boxer is a great family dog, one of which is that Boxers are both playful and affectionate apart from being loyal.

Boxer’s are also highly intelligent and more trainable than most other dogs. They have a quick intelligence that allows them to learn easily and be trained, although they can get into mischief if they feel the need to do so. Boxer’s are also used as competitive dogs, not necessarily as show dogs but in the obedience category.

One should also note that some Kennel Clubs do not register or accept white Boxers, although they may accept all other colored Boxers such as fawn, red or brindle ones.

So if you want to list your dog in a Kennel Club, it is better that you get a fawn, red or brindle Boxer instead of a white one. Another thing you might be interested to know is that Boxers are named so because they sometimes tend to life their front paws in a manner that is similar to how human boxers lift their hands in the ring.

It is not at all easy to take a look at a clean, cute and healthy puppy and imagine that it has come from a puppy mill. But unfortunately this is true and there are several stores that sell puppies that have come from these very puppy mills.

The whole problem arises not because of people wanting to buy their puppies from the pet store or because there is such a high demand for puppies, but simply because there are no proper laws or regulations governing these things, and what laws and regulations there are, are not enforced as they should be, due to any number of reasons.

What you need to look out for when getting your new puppy is not only pet stores that might be getting their puppies from puppy mills, but also from bogus operations on the internet, from people selling puppies through the classifieds, and even through personal one on one sales.

Wait a second, doesn’t that mean that you need to be careful of any type of transaction? After all there is a limit on the number of ways that you can get a puppy for yourself and your family, and in case you are not a breeder yourself you have very limited options including the ones mentioned above.

What you need to look at is not the overall situation of getting a puppy but try to understand every case on an individual basis. If you are checking properly the place from where your are getting your puppy, whether from a pet store, online breeder, or even a classified seller, then you can be fairly positive that you are not getting a puppy that has been bred in a puppy mill.

This is the most that you can do to stop puppy mills from flourishing. Many people will tell you that by getting your puppy from a pet store or a puppy breeder, it is tantamount to giving puppy mills the impetus to stay in business. This is just not the case.

Many of the pet stores that are around do not have any connections to puppy mills, and there are so many puppy breeders who are far removed from puppy mills and are running reputed and respected puppy breeding establishments. Many of these operations are indeed certified to be completely genuine, and a little bit of research and scouting on your part can help you to get a puppy from one of these reputed places.
