Would you buy cheap teacup Yorkies?

Answer by  gsingle123 (37)

Teacup Yorkies are very difficult to raise since the mother usually cannot provide enough milk for them. Many need to be hand raised and that is one of the reasons they are usually expensive. I would not buy a cheap one due to fear of improper rearing.

No, I wouldn't. Purebreds are expensive because reputable breeders incur heavy costs in personal time, vet expenses and food, for mother and babies. Backyard breeders breed fast and carelessly, so they can sell the puppies cheaply. While their intentions may be good, the results are unpredictable.

Problems with cheap puppies is that they are probably from puppy mills just looking for the cash from these animals. They don't have any training or socialization, and they aren't screened before being bred and could end up with many problems like aggression.

Only if you can make sure it is from a good, respectable breeder. The last thing you want is to buy puppies that can be sick genetically from poor breeding.

I would do all the research I could on the dogs first. Talk to people who own them and maybe different breeders.
