Teacup Yorkie
what are the risks in having a teacup Yorkie pup?
im really considering getting a teacup yorkie but im not sure whether its worth the money…do they go through different problems or …basically i want to know the risks of having a teacup pup…thanks
First, there is no such thing as a Teacup anything. Anyone who is trying to tell you that they have one is lying to you, violating the rules or the YTCA, and is trying to scam you.
So, with that, the most “moral” risk is that you are supporting a bad industry. It’s giving money to people who are breeding poor quality dogs to try and make money.
Because they are using poor quality dogs, the chances are MUCH higher that any dog from them will be sick. Since they don’t screen for genetic ailments and provide only minimal vet care (the dollar is most important), many of these already fragile dogs end up having sever issues. Patella problems can be $2000 PER LEG to fix. Liver Shunts can be fatal. Etc.
Avoid anyone advertising “teacup” dogs. Instead, use a responsible breeder who adheres to the AKC responsible breeding guidelines and the codes of ethics set forth by the Yorkshire Terrier Breed Club. Settle for nothing less.
