Tiny Toy Yorkshire Terriers

According to American Kennel Club, toy Yorkies are one of the most popular dog breeds. While doing a search, you are sure to find registered Yorkies from 2 1/2 lbs to 15 lbs. Due to these various weights, many use the term teacup and tiny as a description for the smaller sized Yorkies. Even though the AKC show standard calls for adult yorkies to have a weight of 4 to 7 lbs, registration is not withheld if their weight does not fall within this range. You will also come across teacup yorkie ads but these puppies are out of 12 lb parents and weigh 3-4 lbs at 8 weeks. Yorkie puppies 8 weeks old out of 4 lb parents, weigh around 1 to 1 1/2 lbs and will be much smaller than the ones out of the larger size parents.

We love our boys tiny size. He always jumps up and down and wants to be picked up and loves to be carried around. Being light weight, its not a problem at all. Tiny dogs don't eat alot, make smaller messes, travel well, and can easily fit in your pocketbook.

You constantly see ads like: Free Teacup Yorkie Puppies, or Teacup Yorkshire Puppies for super low prices like $200, $300 etc with a sad sorry as to why they must find a home for them. People are actually sending in money hoping to get the cute little yorkie puppy pictured only to never hear back from these scammers. It's best to see the puppies, their parents and living environment in person.

Teacup Yorkie Puppy Pictures

























More pictures of our tiny teacup yorkie puppy. When we first got him he shivered sometimes and couldn't find any thing small enough for him in the stores and a quick solution was to make him some footy sweaters. I also wrapped him in a soft baby blanket which also came with a cute blue teddy bear purchased at Walmart for like $7!

After having been deceaved in the past from another breeder, we are very cautious and ask many questions. We did get nervous when she told us the AKC papers would be mailed to us later. However, during our phone conversations Kendra always answered every question without hesistation, happily provided the sire and dam's AKC reg #'s for verification and emailed current puppy photos right away. She even gave us a photo copy of the sire and dam's AKC registration certificate. Several weeks later the papers arrived as promised.
