Please it sounds to me that you don't even deserve a dog. They aren't cheap and you can't find them on ebay. Are you stupid. As someone mentioned there is no such thing as a "teacup Yorkie" they are the runt and are most of the time unhealthy. If you want a dog your going to pay for medical bills,dog itself,toys,training,insurance,etc. People like you make me sick. If you were smart you would go to petfinder or a shelter. And its not hard to go on google and find your local shelter. And a book how to take care of a dog!
EDIT: Just because you commented on one of my questions, docent really change my mind. You can't find a dog cheap. Its stupid to look on ebay or craigslist. You really don't deserve the dog. That dog will have a horrible time. You probably aren't even committed. Knowing you have to pay for vet bills, training,toys, food, dog insurance,etc so I don't care If you call me mean. Im just telling the truth.
EDIT: also stalking me isn't a good option either.

I think you should get a puppy when you have researched for a good breed for you, know enough to know that there is no such thing as a teacup dog, calmed down and stopped letting your emotions make decisions.

There are no such thing as "teacup" dogs. Those dogs are usually the runt of the litter and usually are not very healthy.
By the way, please don't buy off of sites like craigslist or ebay. Most people advertising on there are backyard breeders or scams intended to steal your money.

google breeders plenty on everywhere since everyone wants a sickly dog
if you found one for $1000 that is the cheapest i have ever seen
needs for teacup
$5000 emergency vet fund, replace and add to it if any used
$1000 first year vet
$50 flea/heartworm month
$50 grooming 6-8 weeks
$110 training 6 weeks
$25 food month
$200 supplies

should get you started
ask if parents health tested for breed defects
google breed for health defects
ask vet for care and cost of defects
ask vet for care and cost of teacups

Their is no such thing as a teacup yorkie ! Yorkie's only get to be 4-7 pounds on the average. And they will be expensive. You need to educate yourself on the breed before thinking about getting one. Be prepared to spend a lot of money. Do not get the smallest one you can find because the tiny ones often will have health problems, That you will not be able to afford. It is not a myth when it comes to this breed. Yorkie's are prone to liver shunts that will cost thousands to repair , their is a whole lot of other health risks that these little dogs can have, so do your own research. I talk to people everyday who have yorkie's and I have one .

There is NO SUCH THING as a "teacup" yorkie. Yorkies come in ONE size ONLY

Try shelter or rescue www.petfinder.com to search for yorkies in your area. Petfinder is a shelter/rescue site

You know, I really really want a million dollars but hey, that's life.

Why on earth do you want an undersized dog with health issues? "Teacup' is the term back yard breeders use for the runt of the litter (which they could not GIVE away in the past because everyone knew runts would be having 3 times the vet costs over their lifetime). By changing the name to make it cute, they can now sell these dogs for three or four times what a normal small yorkie goes for. You my friend are being taken if you buy one. You'll be paying show dog prices for a dog that won't have the full lifespan of a normal sized yorkie.

A legit Yorkshire Terrier breeder is up front about the runts, they do not overcharge on them and they do NOT call them Teacups. No legit breeder ever uses that term. Ever.

Yorkies come in one size - SMALL. Do yourself a favor and just adopt one from a Yorkie rescue, from the shelter, from Petfinder, heck from animal control (ours gets them all the time). Paying a breeder a show dog price for the undersized runt is just fleecing your bank account.

If you have one reason for wanting this dog - because they are "adorable" then please, please don't get a dog. Too many puppies and dogs end up abandoned and at the pound because someone thought they were adorable, then they grew up and developed issues the ignorant owner could not cope with.

You seem to have done no research about this breed or type of dog. Teacup dogs are a myth. They are usually dogs with health problems because of their tiny size.

If you have good reasons to want a dog other than you think they are adorable, then ask yourself the following:

If you get a puppy, are you prepared for the time it will take to toilet train it.

Will you hav time and money to train your dog and socialise it (go to obedience class)?

Do you have enough income to pay for the dog? Training, good quality food, toys, vets bills, registration, dog accessories etc. (If your parents have to pay for the dog, please do not get one. What will happen to the dog when you leave home? Wait til you are older and in a stable situation please.)

Will you have time to exercise your dog sufficiently (an hour a day depending on the size of dog.)

Do you have a house suitable for a dog? If you have to move, will you be able to take the dog with you?

How often will you have to leave your dog alone, and for how long?

Are you prepared to take on the responsibility of being pack leader to an animal that needs a lot of looking after? This is not a doll, or a fashion accessory, it is a real life being that can suffer if not cared for properly.

If you really feel you know what you are getting yourself into (and if you have not previously owned a dog, or have not researched how to care for a dog yet, then you do not know what you are getting yourself into!) then by all means, get a dog, but only by from a reputable breeder, or adopt fro ma pound. (If you adopt from a pound, make sure you know what to look for in a dog, and if you have any reason to think you might not be sure, take a dog behaviourist with you to help you pick out a dog that is right your you home, financial situation and lifestyle.

Owning a dog is a joy and a privilege, but too many people just do not understand what a huge responsibility it is until lit is too late and they realise they cannot cope.

Good luck! Here is some reading for you:

'teacup' yorkie doesn't really exist. and you should stay away from breeders who say they have teacup yorkies. Check your newspaper, in mine yorkies are ALWAYS available, its in the classified section if you didn't know.. & call them, ask them what size is the male and female? ideally, the female should be a little larger then the male. whatever weight range the dogs are, should give you a good idea of how big the pups will be. give or take a few ounces. so if you want a 5 pound dog, the male should be like 4-5 pounds, and the female should be 5-7 pounds. If you don't care if you get a boy or girl, then you can go and see the pups and pick the smallest dog. which probably will mean it will be less then the male or females weight.

or, if you don't care if its a puppy or not, you can try petfinder.com to get one from a animal shelter. which may or may not be cheaper then getting a puppy. sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.

i personally, don't really like the idea of looking for dogs over the internet. stay away from where they will have to ship them from you or too far away, usually a scam or not worth your time. don't go to pet stores, and look up ten questions to ask a breeder, so you can get a good quality dog.

hope this helps, hope you get it! :)

PS. smaller dogs are not sickly, like everyone thinks because they read one little article on it on the internet. the animal clinic my dog goes to has 4 different vets there, and they all told me these were myths. & people actually are confused by a disease some small dogs get, that keeps them very tiny. but it has nothing to do with that the dog was small, the dog just never stops growing, kind of like a down syndrome situation...

are 1-2 pound dogs unhealthy? yeah, in some ways. they can break there legs easier, etc. but 3+ pounds isn't a problem. yorkies standard size starts at 3.5 to 4 pounds anyway.
