and how much are you guessing the smallest should cost?
No difference, they are all terms used by unscrupulous BYB’s looking to make a quick buck.
One size of Yorkshire Terrier. There is NO size distinction whatsoever.
You want to be looking for a WELL BRED one, not one that is the smallest.
I should also note that most dogs slapped with these labels intended to make them sound like they will be extra small, end up being LARGER than breed standard.
You say it’s not possible but mine is 5/6 lbs and is definitely miniature even the vet says?
NOPE……….that what they’re ALL supposed to be!
READ THE BREED STANDARD!!!!
& the vet is an imbecile….who hasn’t read the standard either.

She is 18 months and should be on her 3rd season anyday
We would like to mate her soon with another miniature Yorkshire terrier
Please do not breed any more dogs. WE ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH ADORABLE DOGS ALREADY !!!!
Please spay and neuter.
We have a dog overpopulation CRISIS in USA right now, and most other countries as well. SIX MILLION DOGS are put to death each year, (that is 17,000 dogs EACH DAY) being killed for lack of available homes/humans for alllllllllllllllllll these millions of dogs.
Each litter you create, will, in turn, create 100s of more dogs in only a few generations. Can you guarantee alllllllllll those dogs a home?
Have you lined up humans with appropriate homes for puppies prior to looking for a stud? Have you considered what you will do with leftover puppies? ARe you willing to ‘take back’ any puppy returned for any reason whatsoever, to ensure none of your litter will end up in the dog pound?
Have you properly researched her family tree, and the studs family tree, to ensure you are not passing on the INCREDIBLE AMOUNT of inherited diseases so so so so so rampant among purebreds?????
DO YOU REALIZE HOW SMALL SMALL SMALL THE GENE POOL IS THAT YOU ARE WORKING WITH for purebred dogs, and the ridiculously high chance of creating a litter of diseased dogs???
SPAY AND NEUTER!!!
Every dog you create competes with THESE dogs

Buddy is a 4 lb. Teacup Yorkie who will be one at the end of this month. He is protective, loyal, friendly, and cuddly. He is very smart and a strong little guy.
Considering a companion…. possibly a miniature golden doodle, another yorkie, or maybe even a bigger dog like a sheepdog? We are open to many options, I know those are very different breeds but if you know of a good, compatible breed for a yorkie please let me know! thanks in advance!!
ANY dog could be compatible with a Yorkie. It all depends on the specific dogs personality. I wouldn’t exactly suggest a massive hyper dog thats going to squish your little Buddy when he gets excited but your options are pretty much open. Just make sure you find a dog that is gentle and good with other dogs. My labrador is a whopping 85 pounds but she gets along perfectly with our tiny 7 pound Yorkie/mix because she is very gentle.
Good luck!!
I don’t have alot of money, so a free puppy would be perfect. I need it to be a healthy dog. I dont care the age.
OVIOUSLY I CAN AFFORD TO TAKE CARE OF IT, but i dont want to spend 1000+ dollars buying it. Im not stupid. thanks.
im not a minor, but thanks…
If you dont have a lot of money, you dont need to get a dog. Make sure you can provide vet trips, meds, food, exc for the dog before going out any buying one.
Ok, me and my family would like to buy a (teacup size). But we don’t know whether miniature and teacup are the same. I phoned the person and she said he wouldn’t be much bigger then 10inches. So is miniature and teacup the same?
Thanks
There are no teacup anythings! When you see pics of yorkies in teacups its because they are puppies and to be honest you could put a day old rottie in a tea cup and call it a teacup rottie! lol.
As said before yorkies are measured in weight, under 7lb is the ideal although some heavier yorkies are about. My own boys Dad was a tiny 5lb but his mum (KC reg) is nearly 10lb! My boy is just under the 7lb mark.
If you want a small yorkie (and anything under 5lb WILL have health issues) go to a reputable breeder who aims for the 5-7lb mark.
Be cautious, a yorkie breeder friend of mine once joked there are no such things as runts in a yorkie litter. You call it a "mini" and charge double the price, but be aware you will be getting a runt with all the problems a runt can have.
The dog is a Miniature Yorkshire Terrier and it would sit on your lap and just lick your jumper or your trouser leg. She would sit on the seat and just lick the seat.
She’s a healthy 8 month old dog.
In dogs constant licking is usually a sign of boredom or a lack of exercise and stimulation…over time if left unaddressed it can become an obsessive tendency.
he is 9 weeks old and not yet toilet trained.
we wake up at 7am we play with him then give him breakfast at 7:30 then play with him till 8:15am, then put him in a sectioned area of a room with his bed, blankets, water and toys he is in that confinement until 3:20pm apart from when i give him his lunch around 12:30pm. We then play with him from 3:20pm till 6:15pm when we put him back into his confinement whilst we have dinner, we then get him out and give him his dinner, he plays with us till about 9:30/10pm and then goes back to his sectioned off bit of the room.
Do you think this is cruel?
I think, yes.
Dogs are better off if they have a constant companion.
I always have either two dogs or two cats.
When you are not there, they have a friend to keep them occupied.

I’ve got a miniature Yorkshire terrier, I’ve had her for four years and recently she has started weeing on the carpet. The vet .said not to tell her off unless you see her doing it because it stress them out, we tried putting her in the bathroom but she scratched the door so much she made herself bleed. I regularly take her out for walks and let her outside but she does it when I am out. Please help with any suggestions on how to stop her.
I am quite knowledgable about dogs, but have never in my life heard of a Miniature Yorkshire terrier. There is one kind of Yorkshire terrier and they are up to 7 pounds. (Obviously with some individuals over that size)
No matter what breed of dog, whenever there is a behavioral change one must rule out medical issues first.
Have your dog checked for a urinary tract infection, or anything else that would casue this sudden change.
I would also invest in a crate.
If this is not a medical issue, then you need to look up articles on crate training your dog, and start all over again with your house breaking.
