How to Find a Teacup Yorkie in Brooklyn, New York

Teacup Yorkshire Terriers are bred with one another to maintain the small size, referred to as "teacup." Because of their small size, Teacup Yorkies are not ideal for every home; if you have young children who are not careful, the child and the Yorkie puppy could get injured. The price of a full bred Teacup Yorkie ranges anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 and is therefore something important to consider prior to getting your dog. Finding a Teacup Yorkie in Brooklyn, New York may take some time but is definitely possible.
