You wont get a tiny teacup anything from a good breeder.
That’s like getting eggs from a rooster.

"Teacup Yorkie" and "good breeder" are mutually exclusive. There is no such thing as a good breeder who breeds teacups.

any breeder that labels their dogs as "teacup" is not a good breeder.
Yorkies come in ONE SIZE ONLY.. They are just Yorkies.. no "toys" "teacups" "minis" or any other size. they are tiny enough at 7 pds or less. Yes, not the phrase "or less".. anything under 7 pds is still just a Yorkie. A Yorkie from a reputable breeder- I think around $1200 or so is average for a pet-quality. Probably close to $3,000 for show.
The breed club can refer to a reputable breeder.

Any amount of money is too much money. A teacup is a puppy that was born extremely premature. They were created by unethical, money hungry breeders. By adding the "Teacup" to the breed, it makes them sound special and rare, but they aren’t. They were intentionally created to charge a ridiculous amount of money for a made up breed. The dogs themselves are very, very delicate. One falling off a couch is able to kill itself (sadly, this happened to one of our clients). They are typically less healthy than a normal, fully gestated dog, and usually die earlier as well. Your veterinarian may also be hesitant to vaccinate a teacup with a regular amount of a vaccine (normal dogs are 1cc) and do several doses to be safe since their bodies might not be able to take it.
As cute as they are, I would strongly advise against purchasing a teacup so we aren’t contributing money to this horrible practice. Instead, check out your local shelter or Petfinder.com. There are all kinds of adorable puppies that would love a home!

No reputable, ethical breeder, deliberately breeds these often compromised, unhealthy runts and CERTAINLY NEVER gives them silly names like "teacup" in order o dupe the unsuspecting buyer out of more money !
Please check the links below and get a healthy, normal sized Yorkie (5-7lb) from a reputable breeder.

"Good breeders" do not breed "tiny teacup" Yorkies. There is no such thing, there is ONE standard–not to exceed 7 lbs. I would suggest that before you actively try to get a dog of any sort, you take the time to prepare by educating yourself on the breed first.
