The
teacup Yorkie is considered a variety of the original breed. Also
called a miniature Yorkie, this dog is so small that it weighs only
about 3 pounds, less than half of the normal weight of an adult
Yorkshire terrier. The term "teacup" is used to emphasize how small the
dog can be, that it can be brought almost anywhere with very little
trouble.
Where can you buy teacup Yorkshire terriers if you're
interested? Sources say that only specialized breeders and puppy kennels
sell this variety. In the UK, the teacup Yorkie may cost from £300 and
above, and that is roughly about $600.
Like in the care of other
dog breeds, the Yorkie needs extra maintenance especially on the part of
grooming. Because all varieties of Yorkshire terriers have a soft and
silky hair that can grow rapidly, the responsible owner needs to
regularly bathe, groom, and trip the teacup Yorkie's coat.
The
teacup Yorkie can come in a variety of colors, ranging from bluish steel
gray, to tan, honey gold, and also black. A lot of owners like to take
their teacup Yorkies to groomers, since these establishments are
specially equipped to trim the fines hairs from this breed.
It is
not advisable to bathe the teacup Yorkie, or any other kind of Yorkie,
on a daily basis. Sources say that it is better to give him a bath when
he is already dirty, or it can be done about twice to thrice a week.
Plus, you need to choose a mild shampoo that helps protect the hair and
skin. When grooming, you can use a steel brush for your teacup Yorkshire
terrier.
Hairs on the body are trimmed to any length as desired
by the owner. Some teacup Yorkie owners like their dog's hair to reach
the floor, or they can leave the cut very short. The belly area and rear
end of the Yorkie must also be shaved, for hygienic purposes and to
avoid parasites.
Yorkies are one of the best breeds of dogs that
could be a pet to anyone. They are affectionate and sweet, and of course
harmless. When given much care, they'll give a lot back to their
owners.
