"Tiny" "T-Cups" "Pocket-Size" "Small" is
only a description a term used to describe desired size, Not a breed.
Yorkieshire Terrier are in the Toy Breed Group.
We Consider a Tiny to be under 4 lbs Mature.
How do we Estimate size of our Babies ..
We use a puppy weight chart and also a good rule of
thumb at 8 weeks you can triple the weight and at 12 weeks you double the weight this
will give you the adult weight. We do Not go by the size of the Parents .
I have seen tiny size parents produce larger than the parents themselves and
I have also seen Large parents produce Tiny tiny size babies.
The Standard size for Yorkies is 3 to 7 lbs. This is just the desired standard size.
AKC size standard "to show" Must not exceed 7lb
There are many Yorkies that are under sized and over sized Yorkies
that are still registered with AKC.
Our Tinies/Small 5 Pounds and under start at $1,000 and go Up .
Tinies are much more Fragile and take more time and Pampering to insure their livelyhood and safety.
Working with the "Tinies" is rewarding in the fact that your constant devotion and Care in Nuturing of these tiny size Yorkies.
My knowledge of Tinies comes from years of working with these precious little Angels, and before you decide to take on the responibilty of a "tiny"
Please be aware of the special Needs of "Tiny T- Cups".
Tiny Pups require "special" Attention to assure their optimum, Health and Survival.
The Following instructions are intended to be a guidance in caring for your most special puppy,
but Not a substitute for the important instructions form your Vet.
Feed your Tiny Puppy more often than you would a Larger pup.
Four to six times a day small meals is recommended.
I feed them in addition to their puppy food Gerber Baby food Chicken N Gravy.
Also Keep on Hand Nutri-cal or Nutri-Stat.
I also feed Eukanuba small tiny bite size puppy food dry, along with Purina Puppy
Chow mixed with warm water and add small amont of Milk and one teaspoon
can chop beef Pedigree.
Keep in your Home these Special Items for your tiny puppy. Karo Syrup as these precious babies
Blood Sugar can drop very quickly, nutri-cal or nutri-stat.
Should the puppy look lethargic or become glassy eyed you may
need to force karo syrup if necessary with a small syringe.
This helps Normalize the blood Sugar level of the puppy.
Keep your puppy away from Public Places and avoid contact with other pets untuil it is fully
Immunized. Do Not let your pup chew on any shoes the puppy can pickup viruses and deadly
germs from shoes. People and other pets can carry deadly Viruses to your tiny puppy whos
immune system can be lowered by stress from the excitment of going to a new home , from
traveling by car or plane and new enviroments.
Keep your Tiny Puppy Warm and away from Drafts.
If your tiny puppy refuses to eat supplement with Gerber Baby Food.
We do give Albon and Flagyl routinely as a preventative however stress of going to new home, traveling by car or plane your puppy may need retreatment, As stress will lower their Immune system.
We understand it is very Popular to obtain a "Tiny T-Cup" ,
"Pocket size Yorkies"
But these babies require lots of time One on One care around the clock.
The Low blood Sugar is common in these tiny babies.,
We do not guarantee against Low Blood Sugar or seizures from a sudden
drop in Blood Sugar. We have raissed many tiny babies and they can live a normal life;
Our Little Kara and many others little precious Tinies are proof that they can out
grow The complications of Low Blood Sugar.
While extra Care Must be taken in Raising a Tiny Puppy, The Love returned is Equal
and You'll have a tiny Friend with a Special Bonding for many Years to come.
Shipping Tinies
We perfer our Tinies be picked up at our home.
We have shipped some of our small little Yorkies but they must be at least a one and half
received 2 sets of shots and be at least 12 to 16 weeks old and in some cases older.
It just depends on the individual puppy. We do not rush our puppies We want
them to stay as long as we feel they need to this just insures a healthy, Happy,
beginning with you....
Do you Guarantee against Seizures?
No we do not guarantee against seizures
However if you take the proper care of your little one they should live a
healthy Life.
Do You sell Tines to Homes with Small Children?
We perfer not to sell to homes with small children under the age of 6 years old.
We feel Tiny pups are much to fragile and small child May
Accidently injure the tiny puppy.
A little larger puppy
would be much more suitable for younger age children.
{ Please have your child sit in the floor to Pet,Hold,Play with
their new puppy.}
We have many success stories of Tiny Babies that have
survived due to one on one care and attention.
Our Little Kara is just one of our Special Babies.
