Answer 2

A teacup yorkie is more of a slang term which is not used by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and is not a real classification of yorkie. It has been argued that teacup yorkies do not exist because of this fact. However the concept does exist and teacup yorkies are some of the most sought after dogs. "Teacup yorkie" refers to a yorkie hopefully on the smaller end of the three to seven. Unfortunately there is a large market for breeding dogs smaller than three pounds. Teacup yorkies are very fragile and have many problems. A full grown yorkie under three pounds pushes the genetic material of the Yorkshire terrier, as this dog (and few other dogs; get a hamster) is not intended by nature to be that small. Teacup yorkies under three pounds are the result of breeding runts of two litters. The result is poor genetic material. Unfortunately these extremely small yorkies are at a high risk for a variety of health problems.

What should a teacup yorkie look like?

For the purposes of this article we will use the term "teacup" as a term of endearment; that's how I like to define the word. Teacup yorkies are small dogs- Yorkshire Terriers are already small by breed standard-even the seven pound yorkie is very small. Teacup yorkies should be colored black and tan, black and gold, blue and tan, or blue and gold. The hair on a yorkie's legs and head should be the lighter color. The "saddle" or torso/back of yorkie should be black or blue. The blue color is a lovely sheen blue. The body of a yorkie is low set, with an erect tail always clipped at a few days old. The yorkie's ears should stand erect as well- if your yorkies ears do not stand up they probably need a clipping. A yorkie has an almost stout build that is usually described as compact. Their stance should look as though they are proud of the way they look.

Short haired teacup yorkies…

Short haired teacup yorkies do not really exist. All Yorkshire terriers' hair grows long like yours and mine unless it is cut. If your yorkie has short hair and isn't growing- and you haven't cut it- then your yorkie is probably not a yorkie!

Puppies hair can be cut to avoid tangles and having to brush constantly. A yorkie's hair should be brushed every day if possible. I have tried this, but it is hard!!! Bella's hair gets tangles because we don't brush her hair enough. So she will be getting a haircut soon.

When trying to learn the fundamental skills on how to take care of a Yorkie puppy, you need to understand that the Yorkshire Terrier is a breed of dog that possesses special characteristics and may require special needs. Here we will look at the basics of how to look after a Yorkie puppy.

First of all, yorkies have long coats so you need to spend some time grooming and bathing them. Their coats must be trimmed short or shaved for their convenience and hygiene. To prevent tangles, your pet's hair should be brushed daily.

Bathing should be done once a week or only when they are dirty.

However, brushing will maintain the cleanliness of the hair, except on the area where urine collects on a male yorkie. This region must be washed daily using damp cloth and warm water. If you have a hair dryer, use that for drying the hair of your pet yorkie.
