WHAT IS THE AVERAGE WEIGHT OF A TEACUP YORKIE?
A standard yorkie should weigh no more than 7 pounds. A teacupyorkie usually weighs between 2 and 4 lbs.
WHAT REALLY IS A TEACUP YORKIE? IS THERE SUCH A THING?
According to AKC standards, no there isn't a "teacup" standard. However, yorkies that have a long line of being bred at smaller sizes, are called "teacups", "t-cups" "tcups", "tiny". These are not "runts" of the litter. KB Yorkie Puppies Sires and Dams have a long line of being under 4 lbs. The average weight of a KB Yorkie Puppy is between 2 and 4 lbs., and in the litter ALL weights fall into this average. They are strong, healthy dogs. When researching a teacup yorkie breeder, ask about their "average" weights. Usually you can immediately tell by the price, as a runt of the litter is usually sold LESS than the average price of a teacup yorkie puppy which has been bred to be small, and you can be guaranteed they will be healthy during their lifetime.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS I SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING A TEACUP YORKIE PUPPY?
These questions are crucial: Do you have the time to own a teacup yorkie puppy? Can you afford a teacup yorkie puppy? Costs include not just the initial purchase price but the expense of toys, bedding, grooming, and vet bills for annual vaccinations. Do you like to have your teacup yorkie puppy on your lap or bed? I hope so! Teacups are known lapdogs, loving to sit on your lap, or on your shoulder. Yes, our adult teacup yorkie puppies (all under 4 lbs), like to sit on our shoulders, and we LOVE it.
