Unfortunately, ''teacup'' and ''good health'' normally don't go together.

There is no such thing as a teacup Yorkshire Terrier. I'm just saying this because any reputable breeder or rescue will automatically deny you because you obviously did not do your homework

If you have your heart set on a puppy, email the secretary of the national breed club and ask for referrals to reputable, responsible breeders in the LA area

No such thing as a Teacup Yorkie. Yorkies only come in ONE size, Yorkie size. That is, not smaller than five pounds, no larger than 8-9.
Check out the Los Angeles County Animal Shelters...there are thousands of needy homeless Yorkies who deserve a good home.
Yorkies are terribly overbred these days, so you have to be extremely careful who you buy your dog from. 9 out of 10 Yorkie breeders are doing it wrong...either by size, color, temperament, and so on.
Please save a life at your local animal shelter.
Here, I started a listing of Yorkies in the LA area for you:

Come on, you know you want to adopt Tinkerbell!!
The adoption fee per Noah's Bark is only $200...that is way less than you would pay at a stupid pet store or from a greedy Backyard Breeder!
Go for it!!

Teacup usually means that the dog is not in good health at all.
Get a normal yorkshire. They're cheaper. Teacups are merely a runt of one litter bred with another runt of another litter.

there's no such animal! tea cup dogs are just runt puppies with poor nutrition and stunted growth! anyone offering to sell you a "tea cup" needs to be reported to the local human society. they ARE NOT responsible breeders interested in healthy, quality animals and bettering their breed. these are what are known as back yard breeders and they're the reason for overcrowded shelters

Yorkies are actually not generic to be healthful canines and a low cost one is definitely no longer healthful. go searching for a canines that desires you - Humane Society is one place. No canines is going to be inexpensive - photographs, deworming, grooming, foodstuff, mattress, crate, toys, all fee money. perchance a fish would be a miles better puppy for you. inexpensive and straight forward.
