Teacup Yorkie

While no reputable registry recognizes any variety of teacup dog, breeders occasionally call their smallest dogs teacups. Yorkshire terrier breeders are no different; they consider many of these small dogs teacup Yorkies. These tiny dogs are delicate and may require specialized care due to their small size.

Purchase your puppy from an experienced breeder. Experienced breeders have years of experience with the breed and make sure their dogs are healthy and free of any genetic defects before breeding. Disreputable breeders might not perform health testing and might have little experience with Yorkies, which can produce unhealthy puppies.

Schedule a checkup with your veterinarian as soon as you bring home your teacup Yorkie. He will need routine puppy shots, and your vet will check for worms. Teacup Yorkies are prone to issues such as hypoglycemia, and your vet may run blood tests to check for other genetic anomalies. Experienced breeders have years of experience with the breed and make sure their dogs are healthy and free of any genetic defects before breeding.
