Ok My Q? was where to find them not if there was any I've seen them the undersized ones are called TEACUP not all of the places are bad there are some breeders that do it the right way they just don't have the breed I want
Bad idea at any price. Incredible that anyone would throw $1,000 at something and not do their research first.

Edit: Sweetheart, you're not listening. Responsible breeders try to breed to the breed standard — not dogs that are way undersized or even oversized.
Yorkies should range from 4 – 7 lbs., which is plenty small enough already. Any breeder who tells you their Yorkies will be smaller than that is NOT doing it the right way, and you should stay far away from them. They don't care about the dogs or the breed and they don't care about you.
There is no such thing as a tea cup yorkie, a regular Yorkie comes in different sizes. Its just a marketing ploy. You will most likely have a very hard time finding one for under 1000 because they are a very popular breed and they are way over priced.

lol anywhere… there is no such thing as a teacup Yorkie…. and if you buy from someone that tells you they exist they are lying and they are a very bad breeder…. the so called “teacup” dogs are poorly bred, very unhealthy and are mutts…..you can find a small Yorkie at a shelter any day of the week, for around $100.

you’ll be luck if you find one for less than $1500.

There's plenty of info on "teacups" to read. Please don't get one! You'll end up paying $5000 in vet care!
Unless you want one of these– http://www.centralcrafts.com/pp/Ceramics/Dog_Mugs/Yorkshire_Terrier.html Very inexpensive!

You do realize that there are no teacup dogs, right? They are just premature or runt puppies. Most of them are very sickly and you will really get to know your vet quite well if you should decide to get one of these dogs. They also do not live very long, some only 2 or 3 years. These are just poorly bred dogs that byb’s but a high price tag on.

First, “teacup” is a name given by bad breeders for puppies that are much smaller than the breed standard. This means they are poorly bred, and prone to genetic disease, often the runt of the litter will be sold as “teacup” because “runt” doesn’t make you extra money. So, to find a decent puppy in your area, that did not come out of a disgusting puppy mill, you find the Yorkshire Terrier club of (whatever state you live in), and ask for breeder recommendations. Alternately, there are toy breeds dying daily in shelters, and many many rescue groups across the nation. You can adopt a shelter pet for less than $100, and it will be as sweet, small, cute, and smart as any $1000 dog. Then you donate the other $900 to Yorkie rescue. Try petfinder.com or 1-800-Adopt a pet for rescue and shelter listings across the country.

**NO RESPONSIBLE BREEDER BREEDS TEACUP DOGS, PERIOD** If you don't believe me, go to http://www.ytca.org and read their ethics and their FAQ.
There is no such a thing as a "teacup" anything unless you're referring to what's on sale at the Royal Doulton store. STAY AWAY from any "breeder" breeding and selling these undersized, overpriced, sickly runts. Only backyard breeders and puppy millers pull this crap.

Consider adopting an adult dog. They are often overlooked and subsequently euthanized, even if they have been housebroken. In a toy breed such as the Yorkshire Terrier which can be tricky to housebreak, this is a huge plus. Here are the many benefits of adopting an adult dog:

If you do choose to go ahead and purchase an ***undersized*** Yorkshire Terrier then be prepared for huge veterinary bills and heartache.
Because of the poor breeding practices used by "breeders" when producing these undersized dogs for the commercial market, the puppies often have multiple health problems brought upon by their miniaturisation.
The breeders are not very ethical and have no consideration as to whether they are producing healthy animals. Their prime concern is to produce animals which will be marketable in the current trend of ***micro dogs***. Therefore consideration isn't put into whether the parents are healthy, free of genetic problems and of sufficient quality to be bred from. The only consideratin given is size so that smaller and smaller puppies can be produced.
Before you go ahead and part with such a large amount of money, at least educate yourself on the problems associated with this kind of breeding practice and its implications on the puppies produced.

There is a starting point for you.
Edit: OK I was being nice but I see that was pointless. There is no such size which is recognised as a "teacup". This is simply a name devised by unscrupulous breeders to suck in ignorant potential dog owners such as yourself. Looks like it worked hey.
I challenge you to tell me and everyone else out there in Y!A where there is a "reputable" breeder breeding what you, in your ignorance, call a teacup which is healthy.
There's a sucker born everyday.
