I have been looking for these two little dogs for quite some time now and haven't had any luck with finding either of them. I want to get one, so that when I move into my own place I can have some company. If there are any other little dogs that you know of that don't shed and that are cute, let me know :)

Ok for all of you who are so extreamly rude! I didn't claim to know everything about dogs. I know all dogs shed, but I mean ones that don't shed like my parent's collie (one that sheds A LOT) Secondly a Shapoo is a shitzu (sp) poodle mix! Stop being so rude! and a Teacup yorkie yes, I mean a small one, so anywhere I could find a yorkie would be fine.

Wow, I can not believe the rudeness of some people.

I don't know what a shapoo is. Maybe shih tzu poodle mix?

The Sunday papers are full of the little designer dogs. If you are wanting one be very careful and actually go to these places and check out the puppies and their surroundings.

Make sure they have all their vaccinations and wormings and have been checked over by a vet . Get the vets name and number so you can call to make sure the pup is in good health.
Try to get a few references from people who have already purchased pups from the people. Ask questions if there were any health problems, temperament, house training. Anything that will help you decide if a pup from this person is the right choice for you. Most people will give you references, if they will not, then look elsewhere for a pup.

You may want to check shelters and rescues too.

Now for your teacup pup. There is no such thing as a teacup dog of any breed. These so called teacups are either the runt of the litter or have been specifically bred down by inbreeding. Many will have health problems and shorter life spans. Some of these teacups actually grow to be the regular size of the breed even though they start out slow and small. Skip the teacups.

Lastly, If you are going to shuck out money make sure you are getting a healthy pup does not matter if pure bred or mix or designer or what ever you wish to call it.

Good Luck

You mean you want a mutt or a runt? Don't pay money for a "shapoo" unless you get it from a rescue. And keep in mind a sharpoo is going to shed!!! The backyard breeders who sell them say they won't but trust me they do, maybe a little less then a purebred but none the less they will shed. They also aren't hypoallergetic, you can still be allergic to them. Secondly there is no such thing as a teacup yorkie it is a runt of the litter that is sold for more money because people are willing to pay more for a small dog. The runt of the litter usually has more health problems through it's life and it usually does not live as long as a healthy dog. Also backyard breeders will often keep runts of the litter and breed them together to make a whole litter of tiny dogs they have nicknames teacups this makes their health an even bigger issue. Look up yorkies on the AKC there is not a breed that is called a teacup just regular old yorkies.

Go to a shelter and get a small mixed dog instead of paying for a mutt!!!

First off theres no such thing as a " teacup " yorkie . Theres only one breed that the akc will classify a yorkie which is a Yorkshire Terrierr. BYB's and Puppymills will only call there dogs " teacup " and poodle mixed breed mutts .. Go look at the animal shelter . 25% of there dogs are purebreds . Or go to a rescue group . Save some money and save a life .

Teacup yorkies are actual in basic terms yorkies or however breed being bred to be smaller, answer: sure it relatively is a rip-off do no longer purchase a domestic dog sight unseen flow to a safeguard or a breeder yet see the domestic dog first so which you be conscious of what you have become, odds are the delivery is going to money for him on a domestic dog he never had or already bought/gave away

What in the world is a "Shapoo"? Anyone peddling "teacup" anything is not classified as a reputable or responsible breeder. Find a breeder that produces Yorkies, not teacup, or tiny toy or whatever other bogus sales pitch being used to sell below standard pups.

EVERY dog sheds, they have hair... don't they? Even you shed, so dont' try and impose "Rules" of a dog, which you can't even meet yourself.

Secondly, if you want a mixed breed mutt, go to the local shelter or ASPCA, you'll find plenty there.

Thirdly, the term "Teacup" is a term used by crooks to peddle money from the ignorant.

They sell Shampoo at most drugstores, grocery stores etc.

A teacup with a Yorkie on you may find at somewhere like Petsmart. i found a really nice Chihuahua one there a while ago.

Edit: Oh you meant dogs. Sorry I must have missread. There are no such breeds. That's why you can't find them. Look for a Sharpe and Yorkshire Terrier. You will have much more success. Good luck.

I can tell right off the bat from reading this you are no where NEAR an educated dog person. Educate yourself!!!
There is no such damn thing as a Teacup dog!
All dogs shed. Dogs are dogs, not accessories.
Can I have my thumbs down for telling the truth now?

How can Shapoo be Poodle x Shih Tzu? Where does the A come from?

Oh Boy!! They really hit you hard here in dogs!
Maybe you should sit down now and have a cup of tea, and a wee bit of your ki-lime pie. Just check out the problems you may encounter with a tiny itty bitty puppy. There are some wonderful dogs, just a LOT bigger than a tea cup that will fit into a place of your own.
Good Luck!
