do TEACUP yorkies get sick a lot
There is no such thing as a Teacup Yorkie…there are Yorkies that are extremly small, usually this is a result of the genes from a Yorkie meeting up w/ the genes of the Yorkie they are being bred to …..they are just small because of the mix of the genes. They are usually as healthy as any other size. We have a tiny, tiny Yorkie 5 mos 14 oz and has been checked 2x by vet and given all tests..and was prounced 100 % healthy. Mom is 6 lbs dad is 5 lbs. and both are very good quality. Or we wouldn't breed them.

YES. You're going to get the same answers you did the first time. "Teacup" is a word coined by puppy mills that keep breeding their runt dogs together until they get some horribly small yorkies with horrible genetics.
They very often have genetic issues. It is irresponsible of you to support these puppy mills and backyard breeders. Go to a shelter and adopt a dog. Don't support the people putting all the bad animals in them.

no such thing as "teacup"…they are really poorly bred runts…so yes your dog probably gets sick a lot because dogs that small are unhealthy!

Mine has never been ill. I never feed her anything but good quality dog food, and I never give her our food. She also gets her annual shots at the vet.
