Micro mini, Teacup yorkies…How much do they cost in uk?
on average, how much do these tiny Yorkshire Terriers cost? they are absolutely adorable and I am considering buying one if they are not too expensive…
ok then i didnt know that they had such health conplications, thanks for advice
Please explain to me why you want to buy an undersized, sickly Yorkie. That's all a 'teacup' is. You may think an undersized Yorkie is cute now, but once you spend thousands of dollars to your vet because of illnesses and genetic disorders, is an undersized Yorkie going to be cute then?
A regulation sized Yorkie weighs 4-7 pounds. That's small enough. Adopt or rescue a regular sized Yorkie. Above all, DO NOT support anyone who advertises 'Teacup' or 'Micro Mini' dogs, as they are scam artists.
"If you are interested in purchasing a tiny Yorkie, sometimes called a Teacup, Micro Mini, Teenie, or any other name that means “extra small”, there are several things you should consider. The YTCA’s Code of Ethics precludes the use of the words “teacup”, “tiny specialists”, doll faced, or similar terminology by its members, and for good reason…Special circumstances often come with extra tiny dogs. They are extremely susceptible to both hereditary and non-hereditary health problems, including birth defects that may go undetected for a long time. Other common problems may include, but are not limited to, diarrhea, vomiting, along with
extra and expensive tests prior to routine teeth cleanings and surgeries. Small ones are more likely to have poor reactions to anesthesia and die from it. Tiny dogs are more easily injured by falls, being stepped on and being attacked by other dogs. These health problems nearly always result in
large veterinary bills."

do you realise that teacups are the runts of the litters? bred with other runts with numerous health complications? It's so cruel.
This needs to be stamped out. They're dogs not accessories.

Even if you can buy one at what you consider a reasonable price, you're setting yourself up for high, high vet bills. These dogs are bred far too small, and the people breeding them care a lot more about profit than health. They typically have eye, joint, and internal-organ problems, because they're just too small to hold everything! And of course they're extremely delicate; accidentally stepping on one (which happens to even the best owners) can mean a broken leg or even a dead dog.
Save yourself a lot of money and heartache in the long run and either adopt a dog that needs a home, or get a normal-sized Yorkie or other dog from a responsible hobby breeder—not someone who'll hand over a puppy to anyone for the right amount of cash.

There is no such thing as a mini Yorkie, a micro Yorkie or a Teacup Yorkie.
The only recognised breed is the Yorkshire Terrier. It comes in one size only -
Anything up to 7lbs in weight - how small do you want???
If you see someone selling anything as a Teacup, minature or micro etc., you can bet they are not a responsible, reliable breeder - run a mile!!!

To find out the price of a healthy puppy from a reputable, knowledgeable breeder, contact one of the many breed clubs listed at the bottom of the page here.
Always buy a KC registered puppy - if you don't, you may end up with a "Yorkie" as big as a horse!!

There is no such thing as mini, teacup, ect… Those are nothing but marketing tools. These so called teacups are very unhealthy & don't live long. Yorkies are already small 4-7lbs. I don't know of price in UK, but here (US) a pet quality Yorkie will cost $750 & up.

There is no such ting as a Micro mini, Teacup Yorkie. Those are scam marketing terms created by unethical breeders to get people to pay more money for unhealthy poorly-bred puppies.
Read a good article about why not to buy a Teacup Yorkie.

Yorkies only come in one recognized size.. there are no "teacups" "toys" "minis" "pocket" or "micro mini" these are all terms used to sell unhealthy runt puppies.
Yorkies that fit their standard size are already plenty small.. for AKC its 7 pounds or less.. that is already a tiny dog.
