How big do your Yorkies get? Are they teacup Yorkies?

• No, "teacup" Yorkies are not a recognized breed actually. They are just small Yorkies! There is no classification for "teacup" Yorkies. The standard size is 7 pounds. While there is no way to 100% predict the adult size of our pups, we do like to stay between 5-7 pounds. If breeding smaller than that, they tend to have all kinds of medical concerns.

Are Yorkies hypoallergenic?

• While no dog breed is truly hypoallergenic, Yorkies are considered less allergenic than many others because they have hair, not fur, and don’t tend to shed.

Can you house-train a Yorkie to "go potty" outside?
