The only place you should be getting a yorkie is from a reputable AKC breeder. There are too many illnesses and diseases that you will have to deal with if you get one from a backyard breeder or a pet store.
There is no such thing as a teacup yorkie. The standard for yorkie weight is under 7 lbs. 1-2 lb yorkies do exist, but they should be purchased for less than a yorkie that weighs 4-7 pounds, because of the risks that go along with such a delicate purchase.
I recommend yorkietalk.com for any yorkie related questions.

There's no such thing called Teacup Yorkshire Terrier. It's usually runt of the litter sold by backyard breeders. Have you looked at your local shelters and rescues for a Yorkie?

As others have stated, there is not any such element as a "teacup" Yorkie. that's a merchandising time era utilized via unethical breeders who purposely breed quite small dogs that are oftentimes riddled with wellbeing themes. i could recommend that earlier you actively seek for a dogs, you thoroughly learn the breed first. coach your self on the breed usual and what pink flags (like use of the be conscious teacup) are often linked with Yorkie breeders. it is going to help prepare you for once you do pick slightly one, assist you to determine if the dogs you're deciding on is a high quality dogs and forestall you from being taken great component approximately.

All Yorkies should weigh under 7lbs. There is no such thing as a Teacup Yorkie - it's just a marketing ploy by dubious breeders who don't care about the health of their pups.
Go to a reputable breeder and by a correctly sized Yorkie - don't be ripped off.

Please do some research before you get a dog. There is no such thing as a "teacup" anything. That is a term used by unethical breeders to describe the runt of the litter. Those dogs usually have more health problems also.
If you find a "breeder" advertising teacup dogs.....do not go to them.

Teacup Yorkies are very expensive but if your friend is saying $40,000 that's definitely not correct. i've seen them around for $4,000 .
