Dan's girlfriend wants a Gucci Yorki and I don't have a clue. I know what a yorki is but I am finding little to nothing online about a Gucci Yorki. Can someone enlighten me ?

Never heard of such a thing. So many "breeders" out there producing designer dogs now a days...hard to know what is what.
I read just last night, and advert spouting-off about these Matese/Sheltie cross "mutts" being a "Rare and Unique breed in Nova Scotia". Good grief!!!

no clue....my Mother just got a "micro yorkie" a couple days ago...it's a year and a half and weighs 1 lb 10 oz...it is so dang tiny it can barely walk. It almost looks like a mutant or something...so much breeding or something. Vet said it is healthy just slightly underweight...it's so small I was afraid to pick him up, like he would break or something.
It just doesn't look right to me, I guess cause he's so small...I guess it's a teacup size, never heard of micro, but the lady she got her from claimed it's called micro

Just guessing here, but I would imagine it is a "purse pooch". You know, Gucci handbags and a Yorkie that little that it would fit into one to be carried around??

Yup I think you all are right. Dan told me to find one for his GF for a gift but gee whiz I keep telling him this must be some kind of a fad like what the Hollywood stars are doing carring around dogs in their purses like Paris Hilton. I don't know where to start but the GF has had her heart set on one forever........geesh....beats me!

I hate giving animals as gifts. People always swear that's what they want,,,then I end up with them. Maybe that's why they ask for one, if it doesn't work out for them, they know it has a home.

My guess is it is a way to part some sucker from their cash.
Responsible breeders do not breed "teacups" do not breed yorkie-poo, yorkie- chi, or whatever cross they can come up with.
They also will not sell dogs for gifts.
If you must buy a dog, buy from a responsible breeder who health test, offers health guarantees and will be there for you when you need them.
If not at least look into rescue. Almost every breed has a breed specific rescue

They are very similiar to the Wally Mart Yorkie but alot more money.
Thanks I am passing all this info along to Dan and the GF. We have no idea about this breed so very much appreciate this input.
UPDATE: I did a search for yorki rescues and they came in like crazy so they are open to an older one that needs a home even if its not microscopic and going to go the rescue route. They just want one to wrap up in a blanket and be their "baby"........good cause I'm not ready to be a granny yet till they tie the knot.

YEP... small dog big price.... she better learn to have eyes on the back of her head, or under her feet , its easy to step on them, close a door on them, or loose them. I have chihuahuas... Target has a nice clothing department for dogs ... same with Ross and Marshalls.

You'll pay $ for the small yorkie and way more $$$$$ for the word "gucci" in it's name lol. Good luck on your search.

That is fantastic!
Even as a breeder I always recommend folks check into rescue first as there are always dogs in need of homes ( yes purebreeds as well as mixes)
If they insist on a puppy I recommend they find a responsible, reputable breeder.

Marty, if she saw my Mother's I don't think she would want one. I don't know anything about Yorkies, but this dog looks so fragile and "off". The vet claimed it was healthy and fine other than alittle skinny, but I just don't know. My mother found hers in the newspaper and he was only $250 because the lady did not have the papers...it was her ex-husbands who died and the dog was found in the house with him. Her ex's family does not like her and wouldn't give her the papers with the dog but they didn't want the dog either.
I feel sorry for the little thing, the past 3 months being passed from home to home and he just doesn't look right to me....his elbows in his front legs patrude, his head is way big for his body, and his spine seems curved. He walks funny. His little face is cute, but the rest just doesn't look right. He didn't look so bad with his hair long, but my Mom cut his hair because it had lots of matts in it.
I just think they so overbread these small dogs to get smaller and smaller with no regard to it's quality of life, it can hardly walk it's so small. Plus it never lost it's baby teeth, so it has 2 sets of teeth (she has to have the baby ones pulled), one of his testicles is non-existant, I suppose it's up there somewhere. She will be getting him fixed when he gains alittle weight along with the extra teeth pulled.
I tell you what though, my Mother loves the little thing, carries it around like a baby in a blanket. It seems to be very high maintenance if you ask me. I keep calling my mom "Paris".

Hi Marty,
I am 55 years old and have had yorkies since I was 11 years old.
The advice so far is correct.
Good breeders do not breed for so called micro or teacup pups. They breed for the standard size approximately 6-8 pounds. Sometimes tinies do occur.
Yorkies as well as many other breeds of dogs( especially the little breeds) often have congenital defects, like a portacaval shunt(liver shunt) It may be operable at huge expense but it is a tough surgery and not always successful. Many of the micros have this problem, causing stunted growth.
I have had Yorkies of 3 to 8 pounds. My current Yorkies , one is 5 pounds and the other is 8 pounds.
My 5 pounder is plenty small enough.
Try www.asiandogrescue.net There are several Yorkies there looking for homes, many near you.
Hugs!
Robin

Oh good grief, here it is: This is a rescue yorki and Dan and GF are on their way today to pick her up in Arkansas. Its a puppy, don't know how big it will get, (notice I call it "It" ) fully vetted and was given the green light to be adopted. I think this is hilareous seeing my big strapping redneck son be so excited and crazy about a dog that isn't even the size of Amy's head! So out of character for him. I figured he'd want a German Shepherd, pitbull or rottie or some kind of big man dog but nope, they want a little tiny doggie to be their baby to spoon with. ok. blagh.... This thing is going to be spoiled beyond belief. Dan already stopped by to pick up some extra baby blankets I had and the GF is going nuts....oh brother, here we gooooooooo
I know its a far cry from a German Shepherd but I do think its kinda cute if you really need a little dog it even makes me smile

OH crap we got scammed! This is not any kind of rescue one bit and its not even a real dog! There is NO MARLENE!
I thought it was very weird that people in Arkansas would advertise a puppy here locally and change their story a few times and kept re-directing me to more than one email address. Then they even said to me they moved and didn't have room for a dog. Gee whiz I said to Dan, how much room do you need for a little thing like this and what kind of an organization doesn't want to call us on the phone and chat a bit? Email only. Sounded more and more like no kind of a rescue that I know of as was first advertised and more and more just like people needing to give up their puppy but I didn't hound them thinking they just needed to get rid of her. I did a search, asked local vets and their name never came up anywhere. UNTIL! They contacted me via email and said they only want to fly the puppy into our airport cost about $200. Well ok, that's a donation fee for a rescue right? But they seemed overly concerend about her welfare so why wouldn't they care to meet the new owners in person instead of putting the puppy on the plane, roused my interest. So I dug further, and found it. Dan and his GF are very upset as you can imagine playing with their feelings as they were packing up to head over to Arkansas right away.
I am not sure if I should still play along with this or report them, and to who? DANG IT!

We'll have to be very sure that she is going to a good home before re-homing Marleen to ascertain she have a wonderful and everlasting home with someone who can always update us on her well-being as well as sending us pictures.She is ready to go to a new home but you can message my wife Mrs Ellen via [email protected] as I will be busy at the office,she would be able to provide you with more informations,pictures and discuss further on how to get Marleen to your home.

Hi,

prefer dry food and she sleeps on the mat.
We only need a good home for her where we could be rest assured
that she would be treated like a princess and with someone who could
always update us on her well-being with pictures.she would be coming
in her crate,paperworks,toys and photo album and she is extremely
gorgeous but you gonna assure us that Marleen will be well taken care
of.,You can forward your name,address or nearest airport and phone
number where you would love to receive her maybe I could visit the

Hello,
I received the informations and I made an inquiry at the
airport on how to get her to you and they have agreed to ship her to
you which you'll receive her within 5hrs of shipment while you will be
sent a tracking number that will enable you to know the depature and
arrival details.I was told that I would need to come along with her
and her paperworks to the airport before the day of shipment for
reservation but they quoted $200.00 including shipping,handling and
insurance.
I would like to know if I should go ahead and take her for
registration.She would be coming with her paperworks,toys and photo
album so I can embark on all the necessary arrangements to fly her and
I will provide you with more informations when I return.
Ellen.
