Sorry, I don't understand your posts coz I can't read traditional Chinese. Your pics are very nice and doggies are so cute. The word t-cup caught my eye!
I was doing research for a small breed dog and came across T-cup size ones. I found out there's no such thing as t-cup breed. If they are small size, they are likely to be a rut or unhealthy. Many owners say that their so called t-cup sized dogs die of illness very early. I hope your cute puppy is ok.
Examples of what I found out of the huge amount of articals:
The Yorkshire Terrier Club does not even acknowledge the use of the terms "teacup", "toy", "tiny". They do NOT condone breeding these small puppies. Stay away from on-line breeders.

Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Teacup Information
http://www.elvisyorkshireterrier.com/yorkie/teacup-yorkie.htm
"AKC places each breed into one of seven groups or the miscellaneous class, based on the uses for which the breeds were originally developed. AKC places the Yorkshire Terrier in the toy group because of the size of the Yorkshire terrier. The breeds in the toy group were originally developed as lab dogs. So it’s not hard to understand why it is so important to have a small dog if it’s intent is to be used as a lap dog. AKC doesn’t have any sub-categories within the Yorkshire terrier breed. The AKC standard states that the Yorkshire terrier to be 7 lbs. and under. There seems to be a conflict between the original intent of the breed and show breeders. In the show ring it is very difficult for a small dog to compete against a larger dog. This is why show breeders prefer a 5 – 7 lb. dog to show. An individual who wants a Yorkshire terrier for a lap dog is many times going to prefer a 3 lb. yorkie over a 7 lb. yorkie. Show breeders breed to show and winning is their major concern. Many other breeders breed for the original intent of the breed and customer satisfaction is their major concern.
Beware of breeders using unethical terms such as teacup, t-cup, tea cup, tiny, baby doll face, teddy bear face, and etc.
These terms are nothing more than adjectives that qualify the noun Yorkshire terrier. These terms are used to help potential pet owners to more easily find the type or size of Yorkshire terrier they are looking for. In the month of October 2005 it is estimated that a total of 105,570 searches were made on the Internet for teacup yorkshire terrier, teacup yorkie, and tea cup yorkie. This is a significant number of people looking for small Yorkshire terriers and the numbers are growing! A reputable breeder wouldn’t imply that another breeder was unethical because they used an adjective to describe a Yorkshire terrier.
Teacup yorkies is just a puppy mill term to try to sell yorkie puppies. These are breeders that are breeding yorkshire terriers for money. It doesn’t matter to them about anything at all but a tiny yorkie. The quality will not be there, health is unimportant, and temperament is unimportant.
These are generalizations that could be said about any type of breeder, but the fact is that there are breeders of teacups and show breeders that don’t breed just for money, but breed for quality, health and temperament. Be Aware of Breeders that makes broad negative generalizations. These tend to be controlling type business people that could be very difficult to work with. Reading the article choosing a Yorkie breeder may be appropriate at this time.
Teacup yorkies are nothing more than runts of the litter that will probably have some health issues ... |
