I have no idea what a teacup Yorkie is or where the name came from. According to the AKC standard a Yorkshire terrier should not weight more then 7 pounds. According to the standard there is no reference to "teacups". [Back to Top] See similar questions...

Yes, they shed twice a year. They blow their coat each time and require plenty of brushing during this period. Of course when you are looking at a 10 to 20 pound dog, there isn't nearly as much hair as regular sized husky. I have allergies and these dogs don't aggravate them, so some people who are allergic to dogs may be able to tolerate these, probably because they are such clean dogs. See similar questions...

My Veterinarian has a lot of experience working on small dogs and he has the special equipment they require. I have lost Yorkies altered by client veterinarians. I have never lost any Yorkies done by my veterinarian. Most people are under the misconception that you should wait till the dog is sexually mature before being spayed or neutered.

"Shedding," as it applies to viruses, means that the animal's secretions and/or feces contain viral particles that may infect other animals or people. Although it has not been confirmed, it is reasonable to assume that virus may be shed in oral and respiratory secretions and feces from naturally infected cats. See similar questions...
