I'm looking for a "teacup" yorkie!

This single phrase makes me cringe to my core. First, a "teacup" yorkie simply doesn't exist. This simple fact can be impossible for people to accept as a reality when one can easily search up the term on any internet search engine and it will bring up page after page about teacup yorkies. Often the pages are by trusted dog resources.

Yorkies have a breed standard which says a yorkie should be between 4-7lbs. As we discussed last week, we sometimes get purebred yorkies who are well over 7lbs and can be as large as 25lbs. The same is true for the smaller than standard yorkies, these are yorkies under 4lbs. These are also purebred yorkies, but they are ❌️ NOT 🚫 a SEPERATE breed.

There is only one (1) Yorkshire Terrier Breed! Yorkshire Terriers are NOT like some other breeds who have size distinctions as actual different breeds. Some examples of these are: Poodles - They have 3 distinct breeds based on size. The largest is the standard poodle, then the miniature poodle and lastly the smallest as the toy poodle. Schnauzers - 3 separate Breeds including the Giant, Standard and Miniature. Dachshunds - 2 breeds, the Standard and Miniature. Bull Terriers - Standard & Miniature, etc, etc. For Yorkshire Terriers, there is simply one breed. Nothing else.

Unethical breeders have used the term Teacup" to describe and market their smaller sized yorkies. Today these unethical breeders and scammers use more terms, including: teacup, tiny, micro, mini and toy. Yorkies sold as Teacup Yorkies are often very sick, they tend to have life long health issues (like liver shunt & heart disease), severe dental problems and shorter life spans. Even if pups are perfectly healthy, these puppies are extremely fragile compared to a normal sized yorkie. The smallest puppies require more attention and are kept longer by the breeder until they are larger and on more solid ground (if they even survive at all). If you see Teacup, Tiny, Micro, Mini, Toy, etc, RUN from these breeders! Ethical Breeders NEVER breed for these extra small sizes.

If you approach an experienced, preservation Breeder that cares about the future of the breed, who cares about what they are bringing into your family, they will tell you this information and so much more. NO, they are not being rude. They care about the animals they are producing, they care about their pups health, they care about their pups quality, they are PASSIONATE about all the dogs they produce and have in their program.

I have lost potential customers and so called breeder friends over these types of unethical & scammers terms, but so what?! They are not the potential families I want for my amazing furbabies or the breeder friends who I want to be associated with. I am at peace with that. We can only do our best and here at Totty's Tiny Paws Colorado Yorkies, we certainly try to do exactly that, our best.

Puppies aren't impulse purchases. Do your research and take time to find the right breed for you. You may need to wait for the right pup or plan ahead for when your ready to add a puppy to your family.

My yorkie is 12lbs. It's he a purebred?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions of owners whos yorkie grows over 7lbs. The simple answer is YES! You're oversized yorkie is probably a purebred.

Looking at the history of our beautiful breed, you will find that yorkies were once a much larger breed, weighing around 20-25lbs, about the same size as a Cairn Terrier or West Highland White Terrier. These dogs were breed to catch the rodents that would nest and hide in the rock walls (cairns) of the farm lands in the UK.

Over time, these dogs were breed down to the size and look of our standard today, but sometimes these old genes pop up and we get some oversized yorkies. While you can DNA test your pup to double check their breed, be aware that these tests are highly inaccurate. (One such test said a human was actually a bull dog 😆).

These oversized pups are sometimes called "Teapot" yorkies due to their larger size. A "Teapot" yorkie is NOT a different breed, it's simply a term used to describe any yorkie over 7lbs as an adult. While they are not considered the breed standard, it doesn't mean they are not a pure bred yorkie or inferior yorkie. Many families love these slightly larger yokies and prefer them over the more dainty counterparts.

Yorkies come in many different sizes which might be outside the current breed standard. So, no matter the size of your beautiful yorkie, from a tiny 3lbs to an oversized 15lbs, just love your pup all the same.

Here's a picture of our 10lb yorkie boy, Loki. He was the smallest in his litter, yet he grew to be the largest pup we've ever had.

Happy 4th Birthday our beautiful IZZY girl!

We're on baby watch here at camp Totty's Tiny Paws. Izzy likes to keep us waiting for those sweet babies 💗🐾

Please don’t leave your dogs out in the heat!! It will kill them. Letting your pup outside to play and potty is important. However, when you let your pup outside to play they can easily overheat, causing heatstroke, seizures and death. Keep in mind, your pup is wearing a fur coat in these high temperatures. Even if your pup survives these situations, you may not know all the damage that might have been done. If you think your pet has over heated, cool them down with a cool wet towel and head to the vet. Please remember a puppy doesn’t know when to quit playing or get out of the heat. They are babies!!! It’s your responsibility to keep them safe!!

It's been a busy week, but here we go...I took a red- eye out to pick up my newest baby girl and hopeful future mom. She is a stunning exotic extreme dark traditional. Meet Orkie. Follow us to see updates on this gorgeous baby girl and her future.
