When do yorkies open their eyes?
The average age for newborn puppies to start opening their eyes is at the 2 week mark, give or take a few days. Allow this to happen on its own and do not try to force the eyes open; it will happen naturally. If you think there may be a problem, please consult your vet.

Are dogs hard to take care of?
Yes, they are a huge commitment.
They require daily care, such as food, water, shelter, and love. Dogs should never be left outside, tied up or not. Dogs require the presence of their humans, because they are pack animals. You must commit to walking and exercising your dog daily. Grooming is important also. Training is also extremely important. You must house train your dog, and it is also encouraged to obedience train a dog, especially if you want a well behaved dog. Puppies must be socialized if you want a well behaved adult dog. Dogs are not disposable.
Vet and food bills may be pricey also, and it is highlysuggested that a new owner spays or neuters their dog, and vaccinates them also. Dogs are a lot of work, but in return you receive lots of love and respect.
Puppies are like babies. They cry in the middle of the night to go potty, and they take a lot of time, patience, money, and training. They tend to be destructive if not given enough attention, or training. If you adopt an adult dog from your local pound or rescue, you most likely already have a dog that is already house trained, and healthy. An older dog would be a more responsible choice, especially with the pet overpopulation problem that we have on our hands. 11 animals are euthanized every minute, and that only proves the problem.
Dogs require a lot of time.

How much does a teacup-yorkie coast?
Teacup Yorkies usually cost around $1000, sometimes a lot more. Prices above $1,500 are not unusual. "Cheaper" Yorkies can be sold as little as $500.
However, The term "teacup" is a marketing tool referring to really small, and often unhealthy, dogs. These are often sold at much higher prices than "regular" puppies of the same breed. "Teacup" means they are so small meaning they can fit in a teacup. However, these dogs are often badly-bred in order to achieve the smallest size possible, with no concerns to their health or temperament.
No responsible breeder will breed or even sell a very small or unhealthy puppy. Most Dog Breed Associations do not recognise Teacup dogs.
I Have a yorkie my self so I would know. His name is Victor. He likes to play with squeaky toys and rib bones.
How much does a yorkie puppy cost?
I am getting a dog for 500-600 from a breeder.I am a kid but i see adoption centers have dogs for 250$.I think to pay 500-600$ for a dog is a lot but you usually get a garantee for a healthy dog for 2 years and comes with shots.It usually grows up in a welcoming and social inviorement. I suggest petfinder.com first for adoptable yorkies and then look for breeders. I am a kid if i could i would want to get a dog from the shelter and save a life but I really want a dog and its already born so i think that is still giving a pet in need a loving home!!!

What is the weight difference between a toy Yorkshire terrier and a teacup Yorkshire terrier?
there is no breed of yorkie called teacup....its just a runt... the breed size for a yorkie is about 7 lbs and up...if you are selling yorkies and someone insist on a teacup do not sell to them.... they are looking to breed runts to produce a runt litter......big mistake because the ancestors of the sire or bitch may be a much larger dog and your little runt may not be able to handle her pregnancy and die or have problems with delivery
Answer addition: Well, actually the breed standard for yorkies is less than 7 pounds. Therefore, the entire breed is called a "toy" breed. Some people consider yorkies to be teacups if they are under 4 pounds but that is not recognized by any breed standard at all. AKC does not recognize a difference and the previous answer was correct - the smaller the dog, the more difficult it is for them to survive giving birth. Plus, most smaller yorkies - 2-3 lbs are lucky if they give birth to even one pup in a litter!
How much does a Yorkshire Terrier cost?
Yorkshire Terriers are quite expensive.
Yorkies run anywhere from $400.00 on up to $3,500.00 It just depends on their background and also if the parents were show dogs. You can get a very nice one for 4 to 5 hundred dollars by just watching you local newspaper.
You can find a nice pet quality for about $1000.00/1500.00 but if you are looking for a high quality Yorkie the price will be higher. Many famous breeders invest so much money in dog shows, that's because dogs from a champion/well known bloodline may cost more. Usually you get what you pay! You may find Yorkshire Terriers that are $3,500/4000 and sometimes even higher than that.
It depends on if it is a puppy or a dog, if it is a champion winner, and also where you buy it at.
They are very good guard dogs too.
There height can be 5"-10"
Most of the time they come in brown but they also have some that are black, white, or brown with black.
How do you Find a cheap tiny tea cup yorkie dog for sale?

What kind of dog food is best for a teacup yorkie?
Try about the vet quote. Many vets do not have a clue about what to feed a dog I would never ask a vet what brand of dry dog food to feed my dogs!
Science Diet, Alpo, Bil Jack Purina, Iams, Eukanuba, and most of the dog foods you can find at your local store are trash! I am disgusted and saddened when I hear this is what people are feeding their dogs. They say "well my dogs been on it for years and shes doing fine" They just don't get it. There is a science behind it, and really just do some simple research.
Many of these foods contain corn in the top ingredient's and corn should NOT be in a dogs diet! It leads too many different problems, such as hair/skin/coat problems to name a few. If you look on your dogs bag and check out the ingredients if it says corn, soy, no wheat, ..do NOT feed to your dog.
Also these foods say they have meat in them. LOL there is no good nutritious meat at all, but nasty byproducts and the trash leftover that they pawn off as meat. There are articles showing that the meat that is in our dogs foods if any really is the spoiled, old rotten meat that has expired from our local supermarkets and they get thrown into huge vats that make the dog food plastic wrapper and all its true. I didn't know any of this until I got my 2nd dog a year go, and started researching dog foods.
There are many great dog foods out there that have real nutritional value, and are filled with what a dog needs. Remember, dogs are omnivores, and cats are carnivores. Dogs NEED to eat vegetables and fruits, and meat. The dog foods should include tomatoes, blueberries, carrots, kelp, bananas, cranberries, sweet potato's and more, I could go on and on.
Raw is awesome for the dogs, and if you cant do raw, which I personally do both I use a great brand of ready made raw food by Aunt Jenis its great. I also feed my dogs kibble, by the name of Timberwolf Organics. The problem with many of the crappy dog brands, are also that they have all this added stuff in the them, to extend their shelf life there is just so much I could add, I just cant stand these dog food brands that people swear by. By feeding actual good food, it does and will make a difference in the long turn. Yes, you still have to find which "good" dog food suits your particular breed and its needs and when switching over it does take some adjustments. If your dog is pooping too much, you maybe feeding too much food, or the wrong particular type of food there is such a thing as too much protein for your canine companion.
Also if you dint want too, you don't understand it, or cant do it, though if you do it right, it really doesn't take too much time in the kitchen it really doesn't (it can be overwhelming for newbies), and if done right and smart it wont hurt your wallets. But a notice and very healthy simple thing you can do, is to give your dog a tablespoon or two of plain yogurt, or cottage cheese, and even an egg also if they will eat it just by giving it to them and giving them veggies and fruits! Just never feed them onions, raisins, grapes, and never salt. If you give them an apple, core it my dogs love apples and bananas.
Good brands are: Timberwolf Organics, Natures Variety, Merrick, Great Life, Eagle, Innova, Evo, Blackwood, Chicken Soup for the dog/puppy, these are a few of excellent choices for your 4 legged friend.
Other good choices: Wellness, I love wellness treats, and Innova treats only treats I feed my dogs. Do NOT feed treats such as pups in a blanket, or any of those treats made by Alpo, or Purina just read the ingredients and remember No, corn, soy or wheat.
Also when feeding your dogs treats and snacks same rules make sure their is NO corn, NO soy, and NO wheat!!!! NO byproducts!!

Is a 1-year-old Yorkshire Terrier a good pet for a 10 year old girl?
That depends, Yorkie terriers are very fragile, energetic, needy dogs. If the girl is dependable and responsible, and likes small dogs, this might be the right dog for her! These dogs can also be selective in companionship, zappy and sometimes a plan old pest. Otherwise, they are delightful dogs!
Hm. This is a very variable question. The girl should be responsible, gentle, and the two should be under good supervision. A Yorkshire is a very fragile animal that could easily be injured by an overexcited child. Young children and delicate animals are not always a good combination. A larger, sturdier dog may be a better decision. Also, a problem arises with young children that irritated, over bothered Yorkies may occasionally be guilty of biting a child. This is a Yorkies natural instinct and some children just don't know when to stop. The child should be fully educated about the dangers of mishandling her pet and perhaps given books (appropriate for her age level) to read about the breed before being given the dog; a surprise would not be a good idea. Giving her the dog, then educating her might be a literally fatal mistake. So but if she knows not to hurt it in any way, and the dog is trained not to bite to much, i think it would be all right
Can a Female German Shepherd and a Male Yorkie breed?
No that would be very stupid. Yorkies are small and GSD's big.
