Hello

I hope you are well, this goes again about the GENUINE TEACUP PUP and ultimate adult dog.

I may very well sound like a broken record as I HARP ON AND ON about owning a teacup pup.

I mean the GENUINE teacup not a dog of 2kgs or around that weight as so many of the public believe it to be.

I am regularly contacted about availability of the teacup pup. As I have said many times before in articles on this site, I NOW ask WHAT SIZE MUST THIS PUP BE AS AN ADULT WEIGHT DOG?

This maybe somewhat of a difficult question for the man in the street to answer as most will have no idea and that would be quite normal.

However if they don’t I then proceed to enquire about their lifestyle does that MOUSE of a pup and dog suit their lifestyle?

Amazingly it suits very few folks lifestyle. They had no idea  they were so hands on and so it continues.

 

It WONT HELP TO LIE EITHER as once you own a mouse you are stuck with it and if you don’t follow the rules and be a responsible owner in time you are going to hit a problem. This will not be as a result  of the pup or dog in question having health issues it will be a problem as a result of the owner not knowing or realizing what it takes to raise a mouse of a dog.

ALL OUR PUPS ARE SOLD WITH HEALTH GUARANTEES AND if or should a problem arise, I INSIST on laboratory testing NOT what a vet thinks or believes. 

THE FACT is that a GENUINE TEACUP PUP and I refer to them as such,  as most of the pups advertised or marketed as TEACUPS are a far cry from the real deal.

I presume the reason for that is simply IT ATTRACTS THE PUBLIC even if they thought it would be a mouse and has ended up an elephant size. However that is not really fair as so many dogs when they end up far bigger than the person initially expected, that dog is rehomed.  SAD, VERY SAD.

I guess most people stick with the dog they love it and that is that, but then you do get folk out there that want what they want and the dog MUST GO. This is not something most of us would do, but it does happen.

PLEASE realise that the genuine teacup pup is TINY and is as I have said repeatedly on my site here NOT suited to the majority of people. GET something a bit bigger.

I had a very nice lady contact me this week about wanting the tiniest of tinies, I had no idea it was for a child but it came out eventually it was for her four year old daughter who just wanted to put a pup in a bag and carry it around.

The lady was very understanding and all when I explained that I don’t even sell this size of dog to varsity students etc, as this size of dog is very dependent on its owner and I sell this size of dog to people who treat that pup like a human baby no need to go overboard but it is a pup that needs to be monitored around the clock.

I have placed this size of dog with COMPETENT owners for a couple of decades now and it is not a pup size wise we get that often.  Some folk are under the impression they arrive in numbers NOT SO.

So please this size of pup is for adults and adults that either work from home or do not work at all. This size is also a dog that is not KENNEL material, so don’t be tempted to book a mouse of a dog into a kennel facility for boarding, and again not the best to let a friend or family babysit UNLESS that dog is comfortable with that person or people. I know from my own experience that the tinier the dog the more DEPENDENT it is on the owner.

Be cautious when asking a friend to babysit as happened to someone who bought a mouse of a dog from me when she went overseas on holiday, The friends,  friend’s dog KILLED her dog all it took was one bite.

So many people believe a teacup to be just a smaller version of the normal sized dog, it is anything but THAT. The moment an owner becomes complacent, has the attitude of knowing it all the WHEELS often come off. TRAGIC but it happens. NOT once has it been proven, I might add that the pup in question has been born with any abnormalities that caused the death of the pup. This is not somethign we face frequently at all in all these years posisbly a handful of times.

To say to me as the breeder - we have waited our entire lives to own the tiniest of tinies and now is the time. 

No problem with that but once again this is not a puppy to just take and think it is a walk in the park GO WALKES really a genuine teacup pup.???

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. Please remember the above applies to the GENUINE TEACUP PUP and DOG 

so this size dog is not a 1.5kg or 2kg as some breeders choose to tell the public.

Comments:

I am looking for a tea cup yorkie as I have been doing for the best part of 6 months. I have to thank you for your explanations on your website as I don’t think there is anything I have not heard from breeders of which I have contacted many.  I have been told no such thing exists as well as the small ones,  are the runt of the litters that is why they are always sick and don’t live long lives. I have been told I have three and when I go and view those pups they are anything but small sized. I have come across a good many scams fortunately not been caught up in that. So to have read an explanation has helped me to understand better.  I must say breeders can be very negative and some most helpful but the HELPFUL breeders are very few and far between.

Above : One of my own dogs, she is AN ADULT,  coat to the ground and weighs in at one kilogram

Robust, SOLID BUILD, short legged short bodied and doll faced. SHE IS NOT A BREEDING DOG - CLEARLY BECAUSE OF

THE SIZE OF HER,  WE ONLY BREED WITH THE PROPER BREEDING SIZED DOGS 

Compare her to the cat and you will see she is far smaller.........

 

TEACUP puppy and dog - MANIA

A few factors to take into consideration about this much sort after sized puppy/dog HOWEVER read on to know some facts.

Firstly no such thing exists as a teacup litter of pups. IF and it is a big ‘IF’ a teacup sized pup arrives in a litter of pups it is a rare thing. So if you are interested and suited to owning the genuine sized teacup pup YOU ARE GOING TO WAIT.

This being January I had a gentlemen tell me he would be happy to wait for one till FEBRUARY next month. Sorry that does not happen either.

I have been involved with the proper genuine teacup dog for more than three decades and I am referring to the REAL DEAL and those that think they are available just like that, you are very mistaken.

I never have a teacup or three sitting here waiting for their forever home, they will have been offered to someone who has shown interest in the past and here again, I don’t sell to impulse buyers, I don’t sell to people who saw JOE SOAP with a teacup hence they just have to own one too and I don’t sell to people with young children in the home, as that could be a tragedy waiting to happen. I don’t sell to people who want a dog as a STATUS SYMBOL I don’t breed pups by the dozen and the GENUINE TEACUP dog is never available in numbers.  IT IS A RARE SIZED PUP/DOG

One lady even said to me she would like to choose a teacup from the next litter of teacup pups. NO SUCH THING happens OR EXISTS. If a teacup pup should arrive in a litter of pups it is a rare situation and not something that one expects to have more than one teacup in a litter.

Watch out for those who claim to know it all and everything to know…… been there myself and sold teacups way back then that were in exceptionally bad health,  the time I did not know any better.

I get loads of enquiries and often on speaking to the person making enquiries I can tell immediately they are not TEACUP owner material. 

This is not a case of the breeder being nasty, BEING OPINIONATED, difficult or whatever else this is about the right size dog going to the right home. A teacup pup and eventual adult dog is HANDS ON major HANDS ON if they are not bred properly the future owner will sit with untold drama (Health wise) and if they are not handled properly by their owner they too may very well sit with untold drama. People who purchase the tinies and months down the line become complacent, NORMALLY they will at some or other time have a drama or nasty accident. It is not a size of dog to take lightly. ANYTHING but.

I have placed a good few teacups GENUINE TEACUPS in exceptional homes over the years and we also have teacups in overseas countries.  

PLEASE before you phone around asking about a teacup sized pup that may be available, firstly ask yourself what size this pup must mature to , I ask the public and often they reply with I HAVE NO IDEA I just want a teacup?????  

I also get told my friend xyz has a teacup I saw it and it is a mixed breed, the breeds being A and B and there is no way possible that pup or adult dog could be a really tiny dog, but they are told it is a teacup and that is what they believe it to be. So they view this pup that is more than likely 2 to 3kg as a teacup. The reason it is very important you purchase what you want.

I have had the odd occasion years back when people have come to me for a pup and back then they did indeed have a teacup pup and it was the only one in the litter or the breeder had never had anything so small or it just did not grow. However next thing they say to me, is PLEASE I don’t want that very tiny sized pup or dog again. As I say the genuine teacup pup and adult dog is not suited to the majority of the public.

Over many years I have had the public contact me and explain how they lost their teacup pup or dog to a freak accident. Tragic indeed but something that could have been avoided had all the necessary steps been followed and security measures put in place. 

The basics to a teacup pup or adult dog, is take no chances, treat it like a baby and you won’t or cannot go far wrong.

Treat it just as a smaller than small dog, you could be in for a real nasty shock at some time or another, it is way more than just a very small pup and dog.

Another thing to take into consideration is the price of the pup. A genuine teacup cannot be an inexpensive dog considering all that is put into that pup. People who have the idea that seeing it is so small should be far cheaper. NOT SO.

We have a teacup born here that pup is monitored around the clock we just cannot presume MOM has this under control.  It can take days and weeks of monitoring to ensure the pup is being raised as it should be. People are under the impression a pup is born raised by mother dog, starts eating has a shot and off to a new home.  Does not happen with a teacup. It may happen on a very odd occasion but in general NEVER does.

Just take into consideration that a pup that is going to end up 1.5kg give or take is far easier to raise than a really small sized puppy.  It also will depend on the weight of the small sized puppy or dog, is it a well covered, well proportioned, pup or a bag of bones covered with fur.

So when asking to purchase a real genuine tiny your budget should take the HARD WORK and total effort and most of all the dedication it takes in raising that healthy little life – into consideration.

No walk in any park and anyone who believes it is OH SO EASY must think twice.  This again is not the breeder making a fortune selling dogs that have taken the best part of three months to raise this is about raising and the producing of the occasional rare genuine teacup ,PROPERLY.

No interbreeding of any kind, bred as nature intended from proper breeding sized dogs. NO such thing as the parents are teacups. GENUINE teacups don’t breed, well should not be bred from and if they do it is a miracle, or the owner is heartless and in most instances surgery is required.

NOT something we do or believe in doing.

I hope this article has given insight as to the real story behind the really tiny sized pups and dogs.

In the right home with the right owner it is a blessing beyond words, in the wrong home with the wrong owner a disaster waiting to happen.

I thank you for your time………….

Teacups

 

Some insight into this size of pup and adult dog.

There is no BREED standard for anything other than the 7lb yorkie which in PROFESSIONAL breeders terms equates to the miniature size Yorkshire terrier.

Over decades of this breed of dog being produced the sizes have begun to differ considerably from being on the far smaller size to ending up being on in some instances extremely large for the breed.

These days the term TEACUP size is thrown around like GOOD MORNING or HELLO, if anyone wants to sell their pups and fast all they do is add the term TEACUP and like magic the pup or pups are sold in record time.

I do feel sorry for the public who are led to believe by breeders that a teacup adult weight is 600gms??????????? Or anything up to 2kg??????????

We have been involved with the owning and producing of some exceptionally tiny dogs over the last PLUS THREE DECADES some of which we bought way back then and some we have produced as NATURE intended, not manipulated by their breeding or producing to be blessed with some very tiny pups and ultimate adult dogs.

We have produced dogs that matured to 550, 584, 587 and 600gms over the last twenty something years. Every single one of these ultra tiny teacups came from parent dogs males of 2kg plus and females of 2.5 to 3kg.All totally unrelated as well, the very reason these ultra tiny dogs have been healthy through their lives and the majority of them have reached their teenage years without the first health issue.

HOWEVER the majority of teacup dogs we have had born here as NATURE INTENDED are dogs that have matured to 1kg and sometimes a bit less and sometimes around 1.1kg.

One has to be realistic, many years back I had a lady come to see me, with her dog in hand. At that time I would have my own dogs in our closed off garden (that led into my home) No kennels or cages and NO outside wendy houses for our dogs and their pups, we never have pups by the dozen ever.

This lady then pointed to one of my small dogs and said to me that has to be very tiny I at that time said she is 1.2kg and her reply to me impossible my dog is one kilogram. I handed her the dog in question while I took her dog and her dog was nothing more than fur, like a feather in my hand.  The dogs food was rationed to ensure she remained so low in weight.  This is just so not on.  My dogs are solid and robust and if a dog eats too much it may end up one or two hundred grams heavier but to deliberately starve your dog to be able to say you own a one kilogram dog  is really unacceptable inhumane and cruel.

Some people out there are under the impression or so it would appear that pups are manufactured NOT bred as nature intended so I get told I want a pup that matures to no more than XXXX weight.   It is possible to be able to work this out but then quite a few things have to all fall into place and in some instances that does go down.

Over the years we too have had to contend with some people who want this size of dog for the STATUS of owning it.  So when I get those people coming to me asking that it has to be the tiniest of the tinies I am put off as that is not what owning a dog should be about. It should be for the love of having it not for the BRAG status. However I do believe that if you want a tiny you want a tiny I was like that myself moons ago.

However the breeding of such tinies must be something undertaken with a serious intention.  Over the years it has been made known to me by the public how they have purchased pups, all grossly underaged passed off as teacup sizes. Tragic to think that the people who purchased these pupsd believes they would be in their home for many years to come.

The tiny as I repeatedly mention throughout my website, is not suited to the majority of the public and that is something future want to be owners should take seriously. 

Over the years we have placed a good few dogs that are tiny in very good homes and the people that own them dedicated to them. Once again I must emphasise this is not the size of dog to take lightly, very often it is life changing.

I hope that this info in some way or another, has helped a lot of you in understanding more about this much spoken about TEACUP sized dog or pup.

Thank you for your time.

It is ALL ABOUT THE DOG

 

Making enquiries about buying a new PUPPY?

Please give an indication of gender you require, plus size and PLEASE what size, if you are not sure of the terminology used for sizing refer to another breed of dog or give me an indication in adult weight. OR SIMPLY just explain exactly what you wish to own and your own personal circumstances, a lot of people do this.

I know it is not easy for the public to be sure exactly what they want size wise but it helps me if they do give me more information. 

If this a childs dog? If so how old is the child, daughter son, ? Possibly 2 years possibly 22 years makes a huge difference.

TEACUPS requested frequently but now i ask what size of dog must this teacup pup mature to and the replies are varying to huge degrees. Some folk have purchased what they were sold as a teacup and it is a 2kg adult dog so some of the public say my friend has a teacup and then you find out it is 2kg.

If someone comes to me and i feel, fits the bill to be a suitable owner for that ultimate TINY dog of around 1kg give or take as adult, i will not deliberately sell them any other size other than what they are wanting. It can be difficult to be 100% sure accurate but we do try. 

However i noted this weekend a pic of a Lady on her Husbands profile holding her new pup. This gentleman the husband has been on my case for months regarding a proper teacup pup as the previous pup was exactly that, the dog they owned before, however when that new pup they now own matures to adulthood i think they will be very disappointed.  T CUP  pups are rare.  NOt suited to the majority of people as to own one and raise it as it should be raised, can be and often is a life changer for the owner.

This size of dog is not suited to a child teenager etc, i get it all the time BUT my child is so gentle.  I can accept that BUT should an accident happen, that will be a devastating experience for any child and one i would opt to avoid at all costs. I have had adults have an accident with a really tiny dog and on the very rare occasion a not so tiny pup and they feel badly enough imagine a young child?

Furthermore a proper teacup pup needs around the clock attention, school goers, varsity students and the likes, cannot offer that sort of attention then i get the parent saying but i can do that, NO problem - then the next problem you will face is who the dog is going to consider being its owner? It happens, you as the parent feed the pup wake up in the night to do the necessary, as the owner has school varshity, college the following day??? Who does the pup see as its OWNER in time the one getting up to do the PJ drill. the smaller the pup the more dependent that pup is on its human caregiver.  The tinier the pup and ultimately adult dog the more it bonds with ONE PERSON and one person only. May enjoy the family the spouse but when that pup/dog wants someone it is the owner, i speak from decades of experience having owned my first TEACUP yorkie at the age of 21 years.   SO PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION BEFORE YOU CONSIDER BUYING THE ULTIMATE TINY

If a tiny is dropped, allowed to fall from a couch to the ground, is stood on etc, all incidents that could impact greatly on the well being of that tiny animal. in fact could be fatal, this happens and it has happened to many good owners as they just dont take into consideration how much work it is in fact to raise a mouse of a pup.

Never mind how much effort it takes on the part of the breeder, which in some cases escapes the thoughts of the person wanting to own one.  They are not a cheap pup and the reason being for that, the time and effort it takes to raise a really tiny pup.  I am not going to go into detail any further, can become boring however buy a pup that is suited to your lifestyle, your circumstances,  dont buy a tiny because you saw JOE SOAP with one or your frient has one... I thank you for your time....

I received the below info early this morning 13/09/2023

from a DOG OWNER of mine,

who has purchased pups from me, referred family and friends to me for pups. Thank you Jacquie

The author Mr Alan Kenworthy contacted me some years back asking if i would write a chapter on the TEACUP yorkie for his book he planned to publish in the near future. I found it an honour in fact and an opportunity as there is so many GREY areas regarding a teacup dog out there.

These days 2023 and a few years prior TEACUP is used as a term by some,  no matter the size of the pup to attract business and sales

SO TODAY i get people enquiring about a teacup as they own one and i ask what weight their TEACUP is, i hear

2kg and sometimes even more.

However there is NO exact name to sizing in the breed.

The breed standard calls for a dog of 7lbs.

THE GENUINE TEACUP PUP/DOG THAT I REFER TO IS A SOMEWHAT TINY DOG  not suited to most people,

an out and out BABY in the home and we sell HEALTHY pups irresepctive of the size of our pups we sell they all carry health guarantees.

OUR pups we breed are all produced as NATURE INTENDED no interbreeding breeding with breeding sized dogs 

Thank you for your time

 

 

 

BELOW: THREE MONTH OLD BOO....IN MY HAND WITH NO OVERLAP

TINY TOT deluxe.... A BUNDLE OF FUR...

He has  been sold to his FOREVER home exceptional owner

THANK YOU...

 

You may very well ask? Are  you the type of breeder who goes out of their way to produce beyond tiny pups ?

The answer to that would be a NO.  We do have the occasional genuine tiny born AS NATURE INTENDED not as a result of the way in which we breed.

However we have produced our own MICE for over two decades now, owning MICE sized dogs for in excess of 3 decades ourselves.

HOWEVER the mice sized pups we produce are bred from proper sized breeding dogs with

NO INTERBREEDING of any kind.

We have NEVER gone out of our way to interfere with NATURE, the reason we can and do

Sell all our pups irrespective of their size with HEALTH GUARANTEES

IF a mouse sized dog is bred properly - that mouse will live well into its teenage years

with minimum visits to a vet IF ANY for health reasons. However like any dog annual visits are necessary for shots and overall check ups to ensure you keep your dog in the best health possible.

HOWEVER IT IS VERY IMPORTANT,  THE OWNER / FUTURE OWNER IS WELL AWARE THIS IS NOT JUST A TINY SIZED DOG BUT A CHANGE IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE AND LIFE.

WE DONT JUST SELL TO ANY ONE ENQUIRING ABOUT OWNING A MOUSE SIZED PUP/DOG , WE DO OUR RESEARCH

WE DO NOT SELL TO IMPULSE BUYERS AND WE DO NOT SELL ANY PUP AS A STATUS SYMBOL

 

Thank you for your time....

SAD BUT TRUE…..  Teacup pups and dogs….  24 June 2023

I received a call from a Lady earlier this week who had visited my website and felt if anyone would understand what she had experienced, about her walk with her supposed TEACUP pup/dog, it would be.

We spoke for around an hour give or take and I learnt firstly she is a devoted owner however sadly how badly bred her dog in fact was.  Sold to her as a teacup reached around 2kg. This can happen so that in itself is no crime.

In those years the dog now is 13 years of age. She has had this poor adored boy diagnosed with liver shunt, heart disease, fluxating patella’s which is moving kneecaps, epilepsy, now he is suffering from cancer and an enlarged heart.

I can sympathise with her as over the years when I wanted to purchase a teacup pup my initial purchase of a genuine teacup dog was a ten-month-old female yorkie that weighed 600gms. The time I visited the breeders premises, I saw the daughter who was not a youngster I imagine in her twenties somewhere and she showed me this dog she claimed to be her mothers and said to me wont be easy getting her from my MOM as she is her dog but is kept in a kennel and run all the time. NOT the best life for her and she said the reason she remained so tiny was simple, fed tomato and lettuce, mostly salad to ensure she was so tiny.

I initially had gone to the breeders to purchase a small sized pup but I was not happy with what I saw no ways would they be tiny and hence the daughter showed me this little angel.  I left and sad to say did not get to take her home. However daughter had told me to persist in contacting her MOM and beg for this little dog which in fact I did. It was not an easy story at all, the lady initially would not hear of it, and after I asked over a fair length of time I got to buy her way back then in 1989 for R2 500-00.

I had owned yorkies from a verry young age and the very first one I ever owned was bred by a guy and he turned out to weigh 1kg. I was not at that stage on the lookout for a mouse sized dog he only had two pups and I took the smaller of the two. In fact I had no idea such tiny little folk existed.

So I came home with SUZI as I named her, her registered name was totally different. FRITH. Four days into being her proud mother I went off on business and was phoned up from home to be told she had come out of her tiny soft-padded dog bed on the floor and all of a sudden could not use her one front leg. I immediately came back home and took her to the vet, LEG was broken.  I  did not think too much of that right at that time.

Vet said seeing she was so tiny she would never cope with a normal cast so she used ice-cream sticks and Elastoplast.  Told to return with her in 6 weeks’ time. However not even a week later exactly the same thing went down, coming out her bed fell over and the other leg appeared to be broken.  So back to the vet who splinted this leg and said this dog clearly had a problem with her bones or this would not be happening. REASON the way she was fed.

So both front legs were now in casts so to speak.  The vet x-rayed her a couple of weeks later to check for healing in the legs, NOTHING.

The vet then referred me to a specialist vet who did orthopaedics in Richmond Johannesburg. He was somewhat shocked and agreed this dog was not raised correctly and her feeding had resulted in her body containing NO calcium and it would not surprise him at all if she continued to break bones. He in fact told me I may very well end up euthenaising her if we could not find a solution.

This was terrible news for me and he said we can try injecting steroids her only chance of healing her broken bones, they would heal with what he referred to as grizzle not the normal healing for broken bones. So that is what we did, she had numerous shots of steroids and literally weeks down the line we saw via x ray those bones start to heal.  MIRACLE for sure.

Due to the fact that I was so involved with this baby that clearly had some mountains to climb from the day she broke leg ONE she was never away from me irrespective of where I went.

Work, weddings, funeral, shopping, restaurants that dog was with me.  Being such a tiny little angel it was easy enough to hide her and not in a doggy bag or carrier but in my own handbag.

The day she passed both my husband and I were devastated, in fact I only have to think of her and the tears flow. She was one of a kind, a dog if I can refer to her as a DOG that will never be forgotten. She was very much part of our lives.

Attached is a pic of her taken by a professional photographer one day at a KUSA dog show a good number of years ago. Suzi had nothing to do with the show but was purely with her MOM myself, as a spectator.

Years back numerous breeders sold Teacup pups, sadly I was one of those unfortunate buyers as was a good few people I knew at the time.

I USED to BUT no longer do have people on waiting lists for pups, this aided some people in securing the special pup from me, however it became somewhat of an irritant to me, when people joined a list and after a couple of months started demanding their teacup dog, although it was made very clear to them from the get go it was a lengthy process, this size of pup was rare.

It got back to my ears how the odd breeder would tell the public they will wait forever for a teacup from me. Maybe they would and maybe they would not but the genuine teacup pup is a rare pup.  AND in fact it was none of their business in the first place. However sad as it was, ONE breeder in particular offered a PURCHASER  of mine who was waiting patiently for that special little pup, a pup guaranteed to be tiny as an adult, estimated 1,2kg in weight.  Matured to being 2,5kg some teacup.

Hooray lady so excited and she kept in contact with me through it all as we had become dog pals. Sad to say, pup diagnosed with LIVER SHUNT serious liver shunt and in a couple of years and thousands of rands later, the dog sadly passed from complications of liver shunt. It can happen to the best of us, however same breeder strangely enough I got to hear of a pup or dog should I say, owned by someone who has bought dogs from me of late, the dog in question 7 years of age, diagnosed a good couple of years ago with Cushing’s disease.

As I said it can happen to anyone.

The one owner in England of a dog of mine, turned 7 years in February  lovely tiny little girl.  Owner,  too got caught up in buying teacups one lived five years in total, sadly at a vet every other month or two. Others died in months of being purchased.  Very sad.

My very own experience way back, purchased a teacup from a breeder who still breeds today, who sold me the pup but I had to sign to say she was not responsible in anyway if the pup had  a health problem.  I won’t even mention what she charged for that baby, over the top amount but I gladly paid as back then I was a novice I am talking many moons ago.  I took the pup to the vet to be inoculated that had not been done even at the asking price she charged me. Vet advised me not to waste my money or time, pup had such a bad head nothing no bone whatsoever covering the brain, the pup could never survive. AND she only made it a week or so more.

What is of interest to me, some time back I came across this particular breeders advert where she warns people NOT to buy teacups.  ?????  Not to mention that another breeder too no longer advertises she sells teacups but that too is very sad as at the time she did, numerous folk contacted me desperate for a solution to get their pup to survive.  Tragic to say all taken for a ride or so it would seem.

Which leaves me to my conclusion to this article. We do produce teacups, from time to time, they are born in the odd litter as nature intended. We don’t and never have interbred our dogs the reason when a pup is born irrespective of its size, we sell all pups with health guarantees.

NO teacup size adult dog can breed naturally if made to breed they will end up being butchered in order to deliver their pup or pups. Not something that should be entertained at all.

Many folk over the years have called me up looking to buy another teacup and they have owned the genuine tiny teacup and I say go back to your breeder only to be told the breeder only has ever produced one of this size and it was never expected to be so tiny.-

We have been blessed and are blessed having produced the odd tiny for a good many years.

Before you rush into wanting a genuine tiny think long and hard.

It is not a dog for everyone, hands on, you have to be on your game if you in fact purchase one and if you do and in time become complacent, you may have a nasty surprise come your way. This will never be a pup or dog you can just take for granted, it will always take priority in your life and if it does not, well you may learn a very unpleasant lesson at some or other time.

I have had some out of this world people over the years owning this size of dog and then sad to say I have had some really miserable types to contend with, however that is life you are always going to come across folk who think this is an item to purchase with no feelings, no special needs just so they can be big deals such as being on a major ego trip. NOT ON MY WATCH.

Please remember this size of dog suits very few folk and it comes at a cost, you cannot expect any breeder who has raised this size of dog, to hand it over for peanuts it simply does not work that way, it takes a huge amount of effort to raise a mouse and we expect no less from the new owner going forward to put a huge amount of effort in raising this baby till adulthood and having this companion for years to come well into the dogs teenage years WITH NO HEALTH ISSUES.

Over the years I have had the odd person tell me we know what it is like having a tiny we have had hamsters, raised kittens. All well and good but a hamster is meant to be the size it is and to hand raise a kitten is a walk in the park in comparison, NO dog is meant to be so tiny,  so don’t feel overly confident because those that do, usually are the one’s to hit a problem along the way.

It is vitally important this size of pup if healthy from the start and the future owner sticks to the rules and does what is required for it to remain that way.

Thank you for your time, I trust that if you had questions regarding the GENUINE teacup pup or adult dog, some of your questions may have been answered in this article.

We do consider ourselves fairly knowledgeable with regards to these tiny sized dogs having owned our first when I was 21 and am now the proud grandmother of  grandchildren oldest of which is almost 18 years of age. NO overnight sensation with regards to the genuine teacup dog.

In the right hands this size of dog will be a wonderful companion to its owner for many years and here again it is not a child’s dog, or a teenagers dog or even a varsity students dog, it is ideal for someone who wants a total dedicated companion at their side all day and every day, this size of pup normally is fully bonded with ONE person only. NOT the size of dog for a companion to another dog unless the other dog is also a mouse of a dog.

Thanks for reading my article.

Using jerseys jacket etc on your pup or dog...

It is most important if you clothe your pup or dog in the colder weather to remove that jacket jersey daily and allow the skin of your dog to breathe. As can be seen in the above pic this dog is in full coat and has been since the day the owner purchased her from me some years back. Groom daily if you clothe your animals or you will find knots, matted coat and if you leave that coat on for any length of time and not remove it, dry skin and ......................  A full coated dog is something rare to see these days, sad in fact as a dog in full coat and well cared for and managed proprerly is a real beautiful thing to see.....

A

Teacups the real deal the GENUINE TEACUP PUP....

Every other day i get enquiries for a teacup puppy...

LOADS OF SCAMS OUT THERE REGARDING TEACUP PUPS. BEWARE......

Just a few things to take into consideration when looking to purchase a TEACUP pup, they are first and foremost RARE, not available ever in numbers and most certainly the parents are most definitely not teacup dogs, unless the breeder of those dogs is heartless cruel and a few other things.  TEACUPS are too tiny to breed, so next time a breeder says the parents are teacups, take to the hills......... OR just take a good think to yourself REALLY..... is the mother caesared to produce that litter or is the fact that the mother is a teaup sized dog a HUGE figment of the owner/breeders imagination....

 

If bred correctly and ethically a teacup pup MAY "MAY" appear in the very occasional litter it is not something we guaranee will be born. If bred ethically, and by that i mean as NATURE INTENDED the genuine teacup may appear in bloodlines that carry that gene.

 

WE DONT BELIEVE IN INTERBREEDING AS IS DONE OUT THERE, IT IS FIRSTLY CRUEL TOTALLY UNETHICAL AND ALL THAT IS ACHIEVED IN SO DOING IS PUTTING HELPLESS, SICKLY, SHORT LIVED PUPS ON THIS EARTH THAT GOING FORWARD WILL CAUSE THEIR UNFORTUNATE OWNERS, MASSIVE HEARTACHE, EMOTIONAL STRESS AND HUGE VET BILLS.  UNLESS of course the purchaser of a teacup is all in it for their status, then i guess it makes no difference if the pup in question suffers or not and trust me YOU GET THIS TYPE of person.  Sad to say have had the misfortune of knowing the odd one. NO MORE...

 

dont be tempted to buy a genuine teacup sized pup unless you have the ablity to do what is required for that pup, this story i sadly get periodically from time to time, from those future owners who consider a teacup to fulfil one of their STATUS needs is simply not acceptable to me and never has been.  These are live breathing living creatures not something that is manufactured and has no feelings....

 

We sell all our pups with HEALTH GUARANTEES no matter how big or small that pup may be...

THANKS FOR READING THIS INFO AND HAVE A SUPERD DAY..

One other thing, i get people wanting a pup to be full grown dog at the weight of one kilogram. i would be interested to know how many out there can actually find a pup guaranteed to be this adult weight at a very low cost.??? They are rare they are very hands on to raise... they take up a lot of the breeders time and mine here when i have the odd one is monitored around the clock 24/7 the reason i state throughout my website the teacup dog is not suited to the majority of people, be sure you are suited to that size of dog...

Facts about the GENUINE TEACUP PUP/DOG…

 

 

Firstly this article is not meant to disrespect the first person but just a few factors that are worth taking into account.

 

MINIATURE YORKIE is not a tiny dog, IT IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT A TEACUP SIZED DOG  breeders who refer to small sized yorkies as MINIATURE are not professional breeders, they in fact are misleading their buyers and the public, as the miniature sized yorkie to a professional dog breeder (NO insult here all i mean is breeders that have been breeding for many years, people who show etc, know that a miniature yorkshire terrier as an adult weight dog is a weight of 2.5 to 3.5kg.  Tell your breeder of choice what size as an adult dog you wish to purchase to ensure you are both on the same page about SIZE.

 

NO DIFFERENT to a teacup pup advertised as that when it is far removed from being a teacup pup. 

Lets carry on regarding the purchasing or your interest in owning the GENUINE TEACUP PUP.

It makes not difference to myself as the breeder or to the pup as to what the owner possesses, flashy car, fancy home etc,  it makes no difference to me if the buyer is a run of the mill dog owner living a normal happy life or someone that owns half of Sandton. It makes no difference to the dog either, the owner is all that I am concerned with and the pup would be concerned with if it could speak.

You either are a suitable owner for the ultra tiny or you are not and you cannot buy being the right owner, It is in you or it is not. Please no offence here, as my dogs are owned by people from all walks of life, both in SA and overseas and I do my utmost to ensure they are not purchased as trophy pups or dogs or status symbols which I have unfortunately had to contend with in past years.

I am again somewhat reluctant to sell to people who know it all, raised kittens, a hamster or two, a genuine teacup pup is far removed from either.

Recently I had a future buyer advising me they would take leave from their employment to raise the pup??? A pup of that size a teacup is not raised in three weeks unfortunately. OWNING or buying a GENUINE teacup sized pup takes months and months to raise and the adult version of the genuine teacup is not a dog that one can leave once it is grown as it takes effort, people who want this size of dog have to realise this size of dog is a life changer, not something you raise then it just becomes a DOG.  if that is who you are or what you think, you are not THE GENUINE TEACUP PUP/DOG owner material.

The issues that may arise from owning a tiny sized pup/ adult dog do not necessarily only concern teacups they could very well cause issues with small sized pockets as well.

If you own a small sized pup or dog, ensure firstly it is free from all internal and external parasites.

Keep your pup dogs inoculations up to date, see your vet annually, for a good check up. Keep your pup/dog dewormed.

Prevent treat your pup or dog against ticks and fleas, TICKS may result in Biliary which may cause the death of your dog or puppy. All our pups leave us prevent treated against ticks and fleas (info on the time length the pup is safe will be given to the owner on collection) to ensure they are safe in their new home and environment.  If you have issues with ticks and fleas take the necessary precautionary steps.

Ensure your pup/dog eats a balanced, DOG DIET and has access to fresh water at all times.

If for any reason your pup or dog refuses to eat, time to take action. OR if your pup presents with vomiting or diarhoea when you are dealing with the smaller sizes no time to sit back and adopt a wait and see attitude, time to take action.

The minute you adopt a wait and see attitude, you are putting your smaller sized pups and adult dogs life at risk.

The very reason I continually advise that tinies are not suited to the majority of the public. Full time responsibility, not really suited to folk who work either. Not suited to be left home alone all day long either.

 

Famous last words – I was exhausted on returning home from work dog,  well pup of 6 months of age or so had been off colour all day BUT OWNER WAS TOO TIRED to go to the vet, left till the morning. 

Taken to the state of the art vet practice, vets are not Miracle workers JUST VETS, HUMANS.  Dog way past being SAVED. OH then it was my fault as the breeder, however the LABORATORY report told the truth in plain English terms MISMANAGED by owner.

DON’T TAKE CHANCES WITH SMALL SIZED PUPS AND DOGS, WELL no matter the size of your pup or dog, you should get medical help as soon as a problem becomes obvious.

 

FREAK ACCIDENTS….

Freak accidents in general happen to tinies, as their owners become complacent, and believe they are a NORMAL PUPPY OR NORMAL ADULT SIZED DOG.  the moment anyone has this attitude their pup or dog is at risk.

Over many years, decades in fact, I have had people come to me with sad heartbreaking stories regarding their tinies, some I have bred and some I have nothing whatsoever to do with. Just to give you some insight I make mention of some of the disasters that have gone down below.

 

1. Pups and even adult do stood on – instant death
2. Pups and adult dog drowning
3. Pups and adult dogs run over
4. Pups and adult dogs left in the garden and STOLEN
5. Pups and adult dogs getting out of the gate never to be seen or heard of again.
6. Adult teacup dog (1kg) left in pool area when owner out and pool service pitched.
7. Dog left outside when garden service pitches
8. Pups going through fences when moving home, one drowned in fact before the owner could alert the new neighbour pup fell into swimming pool.
9. Dogs being walked with other dogs approaching them and doing serious injury and some dogs even fatally attacked.
10. I get sent pics of my pups or dogs walking on a beach with a dog greeting them, DANGEROUS as all it takes is that other dog to dislike your dog and your dog is history or seriously injured.
11. Pups or dogs being dropped, falling off beds or couches to their death.
12. Pups being handled by children, dropped, etc, fatal in the majority of cases
13. Visitors coming, dogs locked up in bedroom, visitors child goes investigating, child caught with dog in hand drops dog in fright , dog dies. HIDE THE KEY DON’T LEAVE IT IN THE DOOR LOCK.
14. Pup ran past the Maid when door opened, found floating in pool same story with water features and fish ponds, death traps for tinies.

 

 

The time one considers their tiny yorkie to be just a dog, like all other dogs,  is the time you could face a disaster or drama.

I had an owner – owns dogs of mine , exceptional dog owner entrust her teacup dog from me to a friend, when vacationing overseas.  A Friend visited the friend with a dog and that was the end of the teacup yorkie.

One can never be too careful and another factor that I have heard of way too many times is someone visiting AND taking their yorkie with them to family or friends that dogs are all acquainted with – yorkie has been attacked and fatally wounded. 

Dogs are territorial don’t take chances put safety measures in place.

The worst I ever heard of was a tiny pup left to run around a vehicle, vehicle involved in a tragic accident, pup seriously injured and DEAD on the scene.

 

All these sad situations do not make me a HAPPY person.

Firstly don’t buy a teacup pup unless you are the right owner. You can give that pup what it needs or down the line you may have a tragedy go down.

I have owned my first GENUINE teacup sized dog at the age of 21 and I am a grandmother and my oldest grand daughters are teenagers.  I have bred yorkies for over three decades and have produced a good few genuine teacup dogs in that time. 

I don’t just say that, pics of them appear on this website.

ALL OUR DOGS ARE BRED AS NATURED INTENDED we do not manipulate the breeding of the first dog and by that I mean INTERBREED our dogs.  The reason we can and DO SELL WITH HEALTH GUARANTEES.

NO teacup dog is capable of breeding, to hear a teacup litter of yorkies is available???? HOGWASH. Teacups are not born in litters, they appear in an occasional litter.

 In the right hands a teacup dog will live well into its teenage years. In the wrong hands sad to say MAY live a very short life…

 

 

The safe way to go…

Invest in a playpen, pups should be kept in playpens initially to ensure their safety irrespective of their size.

Travelling with your pup or dog, use a quality carrier that can be secured by a seat belt preferably on the back seat in the middle of the seat to ensure any impact from either side will miss your dog.

Car seats may be cool and all, but offer little protection when involved in an accident.

The most suitable carrier for any pup or small dog would be one that has a metal frame NOT a plastic carrier or soft bodied carrier and of course the crates made by SKYE etc are perfect for your pooches safety but a tad on the bigger side.

Various sizes available from extra small to 3x large..

Use a harness for your yorkie irrespective of its size, it gives you better control and much better for your dog.

BE CAUTIOUS of walking your dog/s and meeting up with strange dogs, do not trust that other dog, pick up your dog, get the vibe before you trust the other dog.

Don’t think back if only I had or in hindsight …..

Don’t take chances or put your pup or dog at risk.

UPDATE ON COURT CASES 30 January 2023

 

Complaints on social media   BEWARE MAKING THEM….

It is so easy for anyone to run their mouth off in a posting on social media BUT BE CERTAIN,

what you claim went down is the truth or else you will / may very well face A LAW SUIT OR TWO or possibly even more.

Mijoy it would appear has been an easy target for some making FALSE allegations etc,creating sad stories that were untrue, all to make MIJOY look a questionable operation.

However we are going through the COURT PROCESS and have had one offender risk imprisonment before she complied and removed all postings. Another offender (unfortunately due to the CONSTANT load shedding, making court hearings/cases to be postponed, because NO court operates during load shedding hours, also the fact that the court is inundated with cases)  - our other case has to date been postponed three times, however no matter what, the offender will face the COURT at some or other stage and take responsibility for their actions. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

FRIENDS as a result of owning a MIJOY pup or three.... 

THANK YOU ALTA...

 

WE ARE BLESSED...

 

 

Be a responsible pet owner….

How do you start?

• If you do not purchase your puppy micro-chipped have your vet, chip your pup.
• Sterilise your pet at 6 months of age.
• Take out pet insurance on your pup.
• Inoculate your pet annually, once all initial inoculations have been done,  refer to your vet for your pups immunisation plan.

 

Micro chipping your pet, this ensures should your pet ever get lost YOU can prove ownership of your PET.  Remember to keep your contact details, phone numbers and address etc. up to date failing which it may be very difficult to track the owner of a found pet.

Sterilising your pet the healthiest most important thing a pet owner can do is sterilize their pet and that should be done around 6 months of age.

This avoids unwanted pregnancies is the safe and healthiest option for ALL PETS and prevents female dogs from risking pyometra or mammary tumors.

Males prevents future prostrate, kidney or bladder issues.

A Neutered male is far less a threat to an entire male should they meet up, an entire male meeting up with another entire male dog could end up in serious injuries being incurred UNNECESSARILY, sterilize your pets.

A sterilised male is not going to rush out the gate if a female is on heat in your neighbourhood.

 

THE ADVANTAGES FAR OUTWAY THE COST OF STERILISATION….

 

Pet insurance.   This assists with any unforeseen treatments or accidents that may be required for your pet. Depending on which policy you take out, some even cover the annual visit for the examination and inoculations as well as deworming for your pet.

Dental examinations and dentals themselves are a must to keep your pet in good health all its life.

DID YOU KNOW…. Unhygienic gums and dirty teeth can result in your pet developing life threatening health issues if the infection from the mouth gets into your pets blood stream.

PREVENTION IS THE KEY TO LONG HEALTH, GOOD HEALTH AND THE ULTIMATE PET, KEPT IN THE ULTIMATE HEALTH.

Travelling with your pet, ensure it is contained and not allowed to run around in the car. 

On the beach, at a friend’s, visiting, ??? Use a playpen to safeguard your pet if need be, do not take chances.

 

SAFETY, SECURITY AND GOOD HEALTH MAKE FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL PET OWNER…..

Mijoy - the truth of it all.  read on regarding COURT ORDERS....

We are no different to what we have always been.

We don’t breed pups by the dozens, never have and never will, we breed a quality, healthy pup, micro-chipped. ALL our yorkies and biewers we breed with are registered.  We give our clients the option of having their pups registered or not.  In this day and age it is about saving money for most out there. OUR pups are sold with health guarantees also sold on contract to be sterilized at 6 months of age NOT NEGOTIABLE.   We guarantee all our pups when leaving us are fully socialized, have superb temperaments this is achieved by the many hours spent working and playing with each and every pup. I HAVE yet to have the first person complain about a dog of mine’s temperament.

OUR pups leaves us having had the first two inoculations, the only way that it is guaranteed,  pups will not present with a serious health issue such as parvo or distemper.  Our tinies leave us fully inoculated including rabies.

We also guarantee NO pup of ours will present with parvo or distemper when leaving us. They are also all PREVENT treated against ticks and fleas so they will never present with biliary when leaving our care. WE GO THE EXTRA MILE.

if there had to be an issue in any pups health within the first year of its life. we would require a LABORATORY report on the pup to establish if we are in anyway to blame for the ill health. HOWEVER it has never been found via a laboratory report that we as the breeder are to blame.  If it had to be proven we would replace that pup free of charge. 

We do not profess to sell show dogs, or top breeding dogs, if you are looking to breed, we are not the right breeders to approach. We dont sell to breeders or for breeding purposes. We have imported top quality show and breeding dogs in the past BUT we have never sold the first pup in the last three decades to be bred from and more than satisfied with our decision back then and till this day.

If you wish to show approach someone who breeds and shows

We strive to place our pups in exceptional homes FOREVER homes and size - suited homes,  as really tiny sized dogs are not suited to the majority of the public.

We have changed the way we operate of late as I have worked with waiting lists for many years but I have come to realise you get the odd person who believes being on a waiting list, entitles them to MAKE OR INVENT some pathetic stories and lie to make it sound real bad.  All in attempt to manipulate the breeder and if unsuccessful they resort to tactics and badmouth the breeder through social networks.

I am not that type of person who would resort to slandering the first person on social media although over the years I had more than a few things go down with buying pups from other breeders that I could have gone that  route if I was that way inclined  however MOST people would never dream of going that route, including myself.

I don’t ask my HAPPY clients to send me a LIKE as I am not on FACEBOOK never have been and never will be, but I can post a good number of MY VERY HAPPY DOG OWNERS emails, what’s app messages to me  that are disgusted, shocked and a few other things with regards to the postings on social media regarding MYSELF AND MIJOY.

I am not here to defame anyone NOT MY STYLE but the culprits that have gone all out to do just that to me are facing legal consequences, we still have a couple to proceed against.   Some already have been in court and have had court orders placed against them for their actions.

Sad to think that some who have tried to force my hand, tried to manipulate state of events, lie about not knowing who I am should have done their research???? Well really the very same one owns a dog of mine she has had for a good many years around 10 or so years  not to mention the evidence is in the hands of the attorneys proving she came to me in 2010 to join a waiting list, so in all those years ago a good many has bought two of my dogs,  not as much as the first complaint. The proof is on hand with my legal team to prove once again they have perjured themselves by fabricating events. Contract of sale, micro chip detail registration etc. 

I don’t intend explaining myself with regards to other stuff on the internet but to say if anyone is a scammer it is the people concerned.  I am not the type to dig  holes for others but trust me those who have dug holes for myself will end up IN THEM.

It goes something like this PEOPLE in glass houses should not throw stones….. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW… and KARMA…..

COURT ORDER  issued in my favour remove all postings, failing which MAJOR FINE OR IMPRISONMENT.  Any stories remaining out there are as a result of the difficulty of having them eradicated in terms of the order. In due course the necessary action will be taken to enforce the court order.

So don’t assume what is on social media is in fact the truth. A large percentage of it is fabrication.

People need to take responsibility for their actions. NOT my problem nobody’s problem other than their very own.

Be cautious of placing complaints on certain social media platforms that you cannot get removed.?

This will be nobody’s fault other than the one who posted it.

However the law will handle those necessary and they can explain to a court about all their fairytales, because I have the proof on hand in no uncertain terms that they have made up sad stories and some being malicious, vindictive, and total manipulation of the events.

If some persons face being imprisoned, it just may teach them a lesson to stick to the truth and not INVENT stories.

We do not have dogs in cages, runs, wendy-houses, or bred outside or kept outside. Never have and don’t intend to ever go that route either.

We are passionate with what we do have done for the last good many years. We are not here and never have been here to prove anything other than our dedication to the breed of dogs we produce.

We are not interested in competing and hence do not involve ourselves with other breeders, how they operate, what they produce etc and we would appreciate it if they kept their opinions to themselves, as they know precisely NOTHING about me or my breeding operation.

Should anyone contact me with a complaint about another breeder, I don’t get involved as it is none of my business in the first place and I am not here to badmouth anyone never have and never will. I am not that type of person.

I have NEVER knowingly sold to the first breeder in all the years although asked to repeatedly before, but that is my choice and nothing to do with anyone else. It is nothing personal at all but I sell pups to FOREVER homes and I go out of my way to the best of my ability to see that is the case.

 

NO MORE WAITING LISTS, this is the way forward for MIJOY,  this will not allow anyone out there to join a list with me then make threats, attempt to blackmail me, chop and change their minds repeatedly,  when taking delivery or decide to take a pup then repeatedly cancel.  They will not be in the position to claim, never refunded when in fact they were refunded proof of which is in my attorneys hands.

AS far as the tinies are concerned, NO tiny will be sold until I am satisfied with the prospective buyer and no monies will exchange hands until such time I have it In BLACK AND WHITE as to the date for delivery and taking a particular pup. 

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. We are not in competition with anyone, never have been and don’t intend ever to be.  NOT MY STYLE.

 

 

 

MIJOY UPDATE 30 November 2022.  

 

Good day some good advice, if you intend to bad mouth, defame or slander or insult anyone on social media before doing so, READ THE SMALL PRINT of the platform you intend making use of .

Seeing I have been in the unfortunate situation of having had this done to myself, I have indeed read up on the small print of these social media forums and it makes interesting reading.

What is of interest is that one is not allowed to defame, insult slander or whatever all else on social media. So in simple language it is against the law and ILLEGAL to do so.  INTERESTING…  If you choose to do so, you are putting yourself at risk of having legal action brought against you and could lead to civil action for damages resulting from your actions . PRECISELY what has gone down with my situation.

Furthermore read ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS you can relating to the social media forums so that you are well aware of what indeed can go down with YOU one forum especially points out that you don’t have to be the originator of the posting, but if you are tagged regarding that posting that incriminates YOU as well, that means you are more than likely going to have a law suit brought against yourself and are therefore equally liable.

Defamation is a very different story to what most may think, you don’t have to say too much about anything to find yourself in court and being issued with a COURT ORDER for your actions which states categorically remove all postings from social media, failing which you could be fined substantially or imprisoned.

Stick to the truth, dont spread false stories and dont make false allegations,  YOU WILL FACE LEGAL ACTION.

 

THANK YOU for your time.

 

MIJOY will be back from December with updates on our more than delighted pup and dog owners, as well as good wishes for the holiday season ahead. UNTIL December - TOMORROW take care.

THE TINIEST OF THE TINIES….

I AM frequently asked  FOR A TEACUP PUP…. However once I go into detail with the prospective buyer I find a teacup to the public can vary dramatically in size, some believe all Yorkshire terriers are referred to as teacup sized dogs, others feel they are dogs of around 2kg and very often I am told the person making the enquiries owns other teacup dogs. Their teacups can vary dramatically in weight.

It is a fad the TEACUP pup and a big draw card which attracts scams etc.

Although I refer to it as being a fad, we have produced the odd teacup over the last twenty plus years and owned teacups for more than thirty years . We have produced them on a regular basis by that I mean the occasional TEACUP pup will pitch in a very occasional litter of pups but reasonably frequently but considering we don’t breed pups never have in VOLUME, however we do get them.

There is no such thing as a litter of teacups pups and furthermore there is no such thing as a breeding pair of teacup dogs. The reason we have no issue selling every puppy we produce irrespective of its size,  with health guarantees as the breeding of our pups is not HUMANLY manipulated, but they are produced as nature intended. We have sold all our pups with health guarantees for decades already and will continue to do so going forward.

We owned our first TEACUP yorkie more than thirty years back a one-kilogram dog and have owned some over a good many years of an ADULT WEIGHT of below 600gms and up to 1kg and 1.1kg robust healthy, short legged, short, bodied doll faced proper out and out teacup sized dogs that live and have lived, well into their teenage years. Having had NO health issues.

There is however one important factor you have to know how to handle, own and raise a tiny sized pup/dog.

Not an inconvenience for a few weeks, a lifetime change.

This size of pup will be monitored by a breeder around the clock to ensure it grows up as it can.

 

As explained throughout our website it is important the future owner has the lifestyle to own and raise a mouse sized dog. Although some of us fantasise owning this ultra-tiny dog, it is not suited to the majority of folk out there. Furthermore a prospective owner cannot continue to delay taking delivery of this mouse sized pup as it Is not only unfair to the breeder but to the pup. The pup needs to be in its forever home as soon as it can be and with this size of pup can be in its new home from 12 weeks of age. One has to realise a breeder cannot be asked to keep the pup till it is four, five or even six months of age, to make it easier for the future buyer and in so doing make it far more difficult for the breeder of the pup and not fair on the pup that needs to bond with its future owner.

It is a massive responsibility to not only produce the odd teacup pup but to own it. We have placed many a tiny sized dog over decades into the right home, so if you feel you have the right home, you are the right person you are more than welcome to make enquiries. We are however over the top concerned with who will own one of out MICE going forward. NOTHING Personal this is purely for the safety of the pup and to ensure the new owner is in fact the right owner.

It is a simple story either you have the lifestyle or you don’t to raise a really tiny puppy so make the RIGHT decision.

We recommend at the time of asking to purchase a teacup pup from us you are honest. PUBLIC having children should advise accordingly as it would depend on the ages of the children as to how safe a mouse sized pup will be in the prospective owners home.

So often people are astounded to see just how tiny a genuine teacup pup can be, so when making a choice, make the right choice………

NO pup irrespective of its future adult weight should ever be skinny, skin and bones as if that pup fits that description very good chance it has been starved or not wormed, suitably to ensure it is a solid robust pup when leaving the breeder.

One has to realise that nothing is cast in stone, we do our utmost to pass on pups of the size the future owner has requested and if any one has an issue with that, they are more than welcome it discuss it with us.

We have many, many totally satisfied and beyond happy dog owners out there AND for many years in fact…

Subject: Re: Shnookie

 

Hi Joyce,

Shnookie is doing very well here in the UK with me.  Due to the pandemic and my fear of getting the virus,  because of my asthma I've had to be extra careful and am therefor at home 24/7. This doesn't bother me at all as I have many hobbies and,  most of all,  I get to spend all my time with my babies.  On the odd occasion when I do have to go out,  unless it is somewhere like a hospital,  Shnookie is ALWAYS with me. My new papillon puppy has learnt to be very gentle and generally stays out of Shnookie's way.  Although,  Shnookie has a lot of spunk and is not really afraid of anything.  She does however stay very close to me all the time  because she knows mummy will always protect her.  I hope that one day,  when Shnookie is no longer with me,  I will be able to get another tiny from you. I know you've said that you won't send a tiny on a flight but hopefully we will be able to make a plan. 

By the way,  even though Shnookie has an amazing coat,  I decided to have her cut short because she really,  really HATES being brushed.  I have attached some pictures to show you how adorable she looks now.  The first one is a 'before' picture. 

Keep up the amazing work that you do. 

 

Warm regards,  

Neri

HELLO to you all. I have been quiet for the last three months however as breeders we’re open for business.

To those who wondered what has transpired, I was criminally defamed  on social media, and the initial defamatory postings, to which I referred to a few attorneys at that time, ADVISED ME TO IGNORE THE DEFAMATION as the people and clients who know me, who have bought Yorkies from me will take no notice, and it was not the correct advice.  CLEARLY I should have taken legal action from the onset of the first attack.

My current legal team have advised me NOT to ignore anything posted on social media.

After the one posting appeared, a group decided to wage a vendetta against me on social media which left me no alternative but to begin legal action against all defamatory postings. 

I was left with no choice, when the vendetta heated up I had to come out with guns blazing. 

I’ve applied to the Courts and charged 3 people with Criminal defamation. If you’re one of the people who have defamed me, my kindly advice is to remove your defamatory posts as it will cost you less court appearances and the legal costs thereof.

It has been an extremely trying time for me to put it mildly with the defamation posted on social media and two people stated they would ensure my reputation was destroyed. The people responsible now have been served by the Sheriffs of the Court.

The truth will come out NO MATTER what and I can prove the defamation posted is anything but the truth. Let the COURTS decide what is for what, not an attorney, not myself but a MAGISTRATE.

I have been advised by trusted people who own my dogs that they’ve been contacted and advised not to do business with me and this too, will be dealt with by my legal team IN DUE COURSE, BABY STEPS RIGHT NOW.

My advice to anyone wishing to defame me is, don’t, as anyone doing so will face a similar situation.

THANK YOU to all those who have sent me personal messages of support

From now on should you receive a call, whats app etc, asking you not to do business with me or see anything defamatory posted after MAY 2022 please kindly advise me as I need this info in order to take further legal action and prove their continual criminal defamation.

Assisting me, as some of you kind folk have, will not implicate you at  all, as I truly need to put an end to this vendetta. If you are contacted as has happened recently please kindly forward the messages and or screen shots to me displaying the number from which it originates.

It is a blessing that I can count on GENUINE PEOPLE who clearly value my input when purchasing a pup or three, as some of you have done over the years and not forgetting the public, who I go out of my way to freely assist with canine issues they have.

The passion I have for my dogs and the pups I sell are to GENUINE ANIMAL Lovers.

Thank you to those who’ve taken the time to read this and you’re most welcome to email or Whatsapp me for anything you may wish to discuss.

I no longer operate on waiting lists as some purchasers think  they own me if they are on a waiting list and issue abusive ultimatums and extortive threats which are unacceptable to any business owner.

Kind regards, Joyce Kelly, Johannesburg 12th September 2022

The pic on the cover for this coming months NEWSLETTER Number 174,  April 2022, comes from ANITA. A card she made I had to take a pic of it to be able to load it but none the less, beyond in love with her MIJOY BLESSING.

Ilse, Olivia you too have also shown your appreciation for your blessings. This is what MIJOY is all about BLESSING those who in turn give their pups they have bought from me, the ultimate life.

MIJOY is not about selling pups to owners, it is about placing the pup in the right home to bring out and out joy, pleasure to those that are involved with the pup and owning it. TOO many of you to make mention of,  SO SORRY, if I had to mention you all by name this newsletter would compromise of nothing else, but names of those that have purchased MIJOY dogs for in excess of 20 years if not more, PEOPLE whose children were bought MIJOY dogs as kids to grow up with and be blessed by, who in turn have grown up married had kiddies of their own are back again buying a MIJOY blessing.

We, MIJOY are beyond blessed, having entrusted our PUPS that have formed part of our lives at MIJOY for the past ten or more weeks DEPENDING ON SIZE OF PUP,  before leaving us to join their new owner/family. TO US it is way more than breeding dogs, it is a lifestyle, a passion of mine. The YORKSHIRE TERRIER I have owned since 21 years of age, years before I bred them.

IN fact the YORKSHIRE TERRIER has formed part of my entire adult life. The BIEWER TERRIER imported our first dogs in 2011 some adult, some pups.

 

BEYOND BLESSED.....

Micro chipping ? Are your details up to date???

 Are your pets chipped? Every pup bred by MIJOY is micro chipped.

Please ensure you take transfer of ownership and if you relocate change contact details, UPDATE  please.

It is not even the HOLIDAY season and I have had my first call  27 Novenber 2021

of ONE of the dogs I bred running the streets In the CAPE and no owner can be traced as

THEY NEVER CHANGED ownership

I sometimes can trace the owner from my paperwork but NOT this one...

PLEASE IF YOU TRAVEL WITH YOUR PETS or even are a stay at home BUDDY,  have your pets chipped if they are not.

KEEP YOUR INFORMATION UP TO DATE

Can mean the difference of your pet BEING REUNITED WITH YOU IN RECORD TIME or never to be seen again

 

NOT ALL DOGS OR CATS WEAR COLLARS. IN FACT IN SOME INSTANCES IT IS NOT THE BEST IDEA.

IT MAKES THE THEFT OF AN ANIMAL THAT MUCH EASIER, TO GRAB IT BY THE COLLAR..

or someone who has stolen the animal REMOVES the collar end of story... OR SO THEY MAY THINK!!!

HOWEVER A CHIPPED ANIMAL - IS A CHIPPED ANIMAL, IDENTIFIABLE AT ALL TIMES.......

Should your pet go missing, you also have the option to

list your pet via its chip details on HOT LINES as having been STOLEN, LOST, MISSING etc. 

HOWEVER IF YOU HAVE HAD YOUR PET STOLEN...

ENDS UP ESCAPING FROM THE THIEF AND HANDED IN  AT A SHELTER OR VET, the minute that number is put into the system

it will come up as being STOLEN.

so ANYONE laying claim to the animal, other than you the LEGITIMATE owner,

is going to have to PLEASE EXPLAIN.. You will be contacted to claim your pet.

KEEP YOUR DETAILS UP TO DATE...

 

 

 

TEACUP dog, FASHIONABLE OR NOT??

Hello, this topic to me is beyond fascinating.  TEACUP pup or dog, what does that mean, to me having owned this size of dog for the last THREE DECADES, I look at a teacup pup or adult dog as being a really small sized dog.  However do the public or most of them have any idea what a GENUINE TEACUP pup or dog actually is?

The only reason i ask the questions when i get enquiries, is to hear the reply to my question, as TEACUP today is a FIGURE OF SPEECH.

 

I am inundated with enquiries and when I ask the person making the enquiry what they consider to be a teacup dog as in adult weight?

I get various answers.

• I DON’T KNOW, but everyone wants one or claims they have one.
• The wife and kids want one
• MY mate’s wife has one, now my wife wants one.
• Or I want one for my GRANDCHILD???????????????
• OR I can afford to buy one, you have to sell me one???

 

However, most people cannot tell me what a teacup dog in their minds eye is. They have NO IDEA

I had a somewhat irate member of the public call me up and when I said I won’t sell this size of dog as a FAMILY dog – got more than irritated with me and I was told MY YOUNGEST CHILD IS 13. It makes no difference, I refuse to sell VARSITY students a teacup dog, huge responsibility, it Is not a family dog, it is a companion dog to its owner and if it does interact to any degree with family it is MINIMAL.

So to want one and tell me I will leave it with my aunt, Mom, the maid is simply NOT ON.  So not ideal size of dog to buy for a pet for the entire family as it DOES NOT fall into that bracket of being a FAMILY DOG.

Not an ideal size to buy for a student or someone who in time to come, will go out into the big wide world and earn a living and then what happens to the pooch?

I do understand how the public become CONFUSED by what a teacup dog is, as so many out there claim they breed them and they are anything BUT a teacup sized dog.  FAR BIGGER…

I refuse to sell this size of dog to a family because if children are involved, they may have a fatality with that pup and that is not something, I want on my conscience. 

BUY the size of dog appropriate for what you need and want, the dog to be in your home and family.

TEACUPS the real deal that is, are NOT family dogs, but a one person dog. VERY hands on to own, ONLY sold to responsible, well informed persons who will go the extra mile.

 

WE REFUSE TO SELL A genuine tiny PUP AS A FASHION STATEMENT OR STATUS SIMBOL or to uninformed persons. OR IMPULSE BUYERS….

 

At the end of the day THIS IS A LIFE… not an ornament or a possession but a LIFE

Thank you for your time...

Understanding what the word REGISTERED means, to you buying your canine mate..

 

To own a registered dog does not mean too much, sad to say. As the registering bodies whoever they may be, from the best OR MOST WELL KNOWN IN THE COUNTRY to whatever, the staff that do all the paperwork, registering of pups etc,  NEVER see that puppy. They rely on the integrity of the breeder NOTHING else.   So to assume you have bought a registered puppy, means you have bought the best of the best  MAY NOT BE THE CASE.

IN fact registered dogs will range from REAL PET QUALITY TO SHOW dogs...

The time I imported dogs from the States they already had concerns of the quality of dogs being bred, GOING DOWNHILL, A good few years later,  it is now very much in South Africa.  Problem we now see is some people are under the impression these breeds sell for PEANUTS because they paid peanuts for their breeding dogs to begin with, which in some instances THE DOGS should never have been sold to be bred with to begin with.

Breeders who breed with quality dogs are not exempt of producing the odd NOT so good pup and that they would know and advise the buyer accordingly.  Just because a pup is bred from good bloodlines does not guarantee that pup to be good quality, show quality or breeding quality. NO breeder can see what is behind the dog they own going back generations.  Throw backs do happen but they are not booted out here and get minimal done for them because they are not the pick of the litter. They are handled treated and get everything done for them every other pup gets done , no matter how great a quality pup.

I only sell dogs as PETS no matter if they were to be show or breeding quality, I have only ever sold as pets for the last three decades. My pup are sold to forever homes. Not for any form of breeding and not for showing.

One cannot blame most of these breeders as they have never  been given guidance they have tried but left to battle on hence what we see going down…

A good quality pup does not sell for peanuts. 

Many years back when the GOOD OLD TIMERS were breeding, so many  NO more, (NOT ALL ethical EITHER SAD TO SAY, BUT A GOOD FEW BREEDERS BACK THEN TRUSTWORTHY, PROFESSIONAL ETC) (well let me say this about breeders back then MOST great professional etc whIle you did get some who sold dogs that were anything but breeding quality dogs with for example NO SCULL was one of the experiences I had back then, not to mention parted with a real tidy sum for that dog, at that time and NOT to mention one of those breeders that has so much so Say about OTHER BREEDERS and is still breeding TODAY) However back then MOST breeders knew a good quality dog when they saw it, the future breeders could buy from them without being too concerned of purchasing inferior quality pups sold for breeding, as those breeders back then had standards. Back then they graded their pups, today NOT at all or if they do, great to hear. However if it happens,  has to be in the minority. Graded their pups as in SHOW, BREEDING, pet quality.

I have never sold the first of my dogs for breeding EVER. So when people want to start breeding approach me which they have done for many years, I cannot say let me show you the ropes, as I do not sell to the first breeder. So most unfair of me, as I would then have to point them in the right direction and in all honesty, no idea which is the right direction.

So many breeders restrict breeding, do not sell for breeding purposes and that is no different to myself, as they have lines they paid good money for which, produce good quality pups..

THEY ALSO share the same concerns I have as sell for breeding, if the person falls on hard times, out goes the dogs, if the person gets too busy with other stuff, out go the dogs, the dog ends up that it is too smal for breeding  or does not breed OUT IT GOES, so I would far rather opt for a FOREVER home for my pups than chance them ending going from home to home and then possibly dumped at an animal shelter as they are now passed their sell by date. NO use to anyone anymore and are often given the needle to end their lives…..  IT is only people who work at these shelters or volunteer as i did for a good few years a while back, get to see how sad it all is and the real sad thing to see is the pain, fear and look of abadnonmnet in those dogs eyes....

Some breeders do only breed their dogs for a handful of years and pass them on, NOTHING wrong with that, but for those that breed their dogs into the ground then pass them onto someone else - to learn how to breed, someone who fails dismally, as the dog they bought should have been retired from breeding, not sold for breeding. Dog has major complications with  breeding in its advanced age, sad situation.

How the first person does not realise a dog has feelings, no different to a human, they bond, they learn to trust, they are intelligent not something to be kicked aside, kicked out as they are no longer the money spinners we thought we were buying to COIN it, big time.

 

ANYONE believing dog breeding is a MONEY spinning game has to realise it may be for some, POSSIBLY those who have pups born by the dozen and given the minimal to those pups in their lives. Prior to being UP FOR SALE by the dozen, if they are fortunate may be inoculated or maybe not. The same pups that sit with worm issues, as well as a few other UNDESIRABLE intestinal parasites that will in time, give the new owner HEADACHES.  OH and vet bills as well.

All I can say speaking from experience  it costs the breeder to do right by their pups, so I have no idea how they can sell pups for peanuts in the first place.  Or is it that because they do the MINIMAL possible for those pups.  Don’t get me wrong but to see what is out there sold as a registered, is really something… PET quality pups should not be registered or if tthey are the pedigree should be marked accordingly PET QUALITY.

Some breeders say they will help newcomers to the fancy but drop them like hot cakes along the line, CAN'T HANDLE COMPETITION, which is not only sad, but tragic, to find oneself trusting of certain people who don’t like you becoming their opposition, so rather opt to slander you, discourage you, attempt to ruin your reputation to make themselves look so much better???? So many of these people  would have become the FUTURE QUALITY type breeders, have closed down shop, sterilized their dogs, walked away,  because of the situation they have faced, over the last good many years.

Such a shame those that put it out there WE WILL ASSIST YOU decided to withdraw their assistance, dont think this does not go down,  such people exist, ????   THEY DO… 

To slander someone else and I don’t really care too much for THOSE TYPES or whatever they have to say, AS IF SOMEONE HAS TO GO TO THE LENGTHS THEY GO TO – TO BAD MOUTH others, IT TELLS ONE MASSIVE STORY, YOU ARE A THREAT TO THEM,  but for those trying to get places as being a recognized responsible breeder ???? READ ON..

You have to be tough,  prepared to keep going and beyond all else be professional and ethical… If you do come across the odd fiction written about yourself, just pat yourself on the back and tell yourself YOU must be doing something right. OR you would be ignored. FULL STOP. Just remember you are only criticized by those that find you MORE than they can handle,  a major threat. You just have to hope that the person listening to all the bad mouthing has a mind of their own realises  - JEALOUSY when they hear or possibly read it…..  i have got to hear so much said about myself over many years,  by these BREEDERS it ends up being a laugh you feel like a celebrity.... However the majority of the public see past all of this so are not put off by this sort of questionable behaviour....

The reason you get slandered you do things, THOSE BREEDERS wish they COULD do but can't or won't too much hard work, effort and a major cost to do it all 100% correctly..

HEALTH GUARANTEES  to me are a MAJOR PLUS when purchasing your COMPANION dog as that MAY save you thousands in the long run.. Anorther reason we get GOSSIPED ABOUT we sell and always have sold with health guarantees.  Follow our lead possibly or maybe not???  However in order to SELL with health guarantees you have to be pretty certain of your blood lines you use in your breeding program. So many out there would have saved so many THOUSANDS of rands at your vet, as to buy a puppy and find it has a liver shunt or whatever else, bad heart, or the pup is overrun with worms AND internal parasites the pup in fact PASSES away !!!! I am not just sayiang this is happens.... INTERNAL PARASITES cause pups to become hypoglycaemic anaemic and a few other things, that compromise its health.  You have issues with your puppy,  The breeder comes back to you and says SORRY not my problem BUT YOURS, if you get as much as a sorry out of them,  most just ignore. 

 

So if you want to buy a pup to show…..

Go to someone who shows and I know you will come back to me and tell me I contacted X Y and Z and the attitude I got, so abrasive, positively rude SORRY that too happens as these people get to deal with SO MUCH from the public.

Most breeders who get repeated enquires from the same person are inclined to be RUDE or possibly this goes down when asked to let them know, when pups are available, which they asked you to do UMMMM was it two years or three years ago, still looking for the ultimate PUP.

OR when will you have pups again,  okay will contact you, MONTHS later come back to you, then it is a case of your pups are sold? Already?

 

If you find someone who says SHOW DOGS, breeding dogs of course we will assist you. Don’t take it as GOSPEL,  rather research and then some more.

And again no matter what pet or breeding animal or show animal you are wanting to purchase,  HORSE, CAT OR DOG,  make sure the person offering the animal to you does in deed SHOW,  BREED etc because if they come with this story we don’t show but will sell you a show quality animal and they will advise you how to show!!!! ADVISE YOU HOW TO SHOW…???? But we don’t show….   run for the hills. If they don’t show,  why do they offer you something to show in the first place.  LEARN THE ROPE’S from those that are willing to teach you… THOSE THAT KNOW WHAT SHOWING IS ALL ABOUT…. those that have the experience...

This article is not meant in a derogatory manner whatsoever. it is only written to advise those out there that are not too informed, as to what can and may very well go down... everyone has to start somewhere, normally at the beginning....

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME....

Mijoy - 3 decades going forward..

 

• Every pup that leaves MIJOY carries health guarantees

• Every pup that leaves MIJOY has no skin disease of any kind
• Every pup that leaves MIJOY is inoculated that there is NO RISK of the pup presenting with PARVO or DISTEMPER in the short term, when leaving MIJOY. We achieve this by administering TWO inoculations to our pups prior to them heading off to their new home.
• Small pockets and THE GENUINE TEACUP pup only leave MIJOY once they are FULLY IMMUNISED between 12 to 16 weeks. The tinies are inoculated THREE TIMES as well as inoculated for RABIES.
• Every single pup leaving MIJOY is MICRO CHIPPED as has been done for a good many years.
• Every pup from MIJOY is guaranteed to have an exceptional temperament.

Good evening Joyce

 

I would just like to take the time to thank you,  for giving our family so much joy and happiness owning your dogs for the last twenty years. Three pups in this time,  I don’t think you realise how much PLEASURE your pups  bring into a home and we are witness to that. 

Thank you once again, it is so lovely to know you buy a baby of yours, take good care of it and you enjoy many years of a companion ahead.  Our second dog from you is now 14 years of age and still going strong and now we have our new baby.   We are so thankful.

 

My best

The teacup PUP and ultimately the adult teacup.

I have owned a teacup yorkie or two for more than three decades of my adult life.

This is the GENUINE teacup dog. These last couple of days I have had enquiries about teacups one person, remarking how she had answered so many adverts for teacups in a FREE ADVERT publication and almost scammed and when it was a breeder, not a teacup dog at all and i told her that would be the last place to look for a quality, specialized sized dog.

We will not sell a teacup pup to the first person unless we are pretty certain that future buyer or buyer is informed as to what a responsibility it is to handle a really small sized pup. It is not an inconvenience for a few weeks BUT A TOTAL LIFESTYLE change. NOT the size of pup you can get bored with caring for. NO such thing as too tired to bother tonight, I need my sleep.

We unfortunately have been told many years back how capable the buyers were, they knew all there was to know, did I think them incapable.??? Well the proof is in the pudding and in some cases YES you proved yourself to be incapable, I sat back and watched you fall.

IT is of no use to make out you owned a genuine tiny if in fact you never have, as that will complicate your life.

However I would not sleep at night if I thought for one second any pups of mine were in the wrong hands.  This is a life I put on this earth and not something I willy, nilly place either. The last thing I want is for the first buyer of mine or the first pup of mine to be in the hands of someone that has no idea, it is not worth the emotional stress on the owner or the loss of the pups life either.

SO many of the public come to me saying we want another teacup we have one, or had one and it is one thing to say you had one as that immediately puts my mind at rest, but no point in making out you owned one, if in fact you never have, as then you are not experienced in owning the teacup pup.  HENCE I now ask (have done for months) everyone making enquiries as to what they perceive a teacup dog to weigh. IT really is mind boggling to hear what is said.

As I have said repeatedly owning a real mice sized dog is no walk in the park, it means total commitment, it is not a pup or dog you can decide today is the day you are going to go all out or today, is the day I do my own thing and the pup or dog gets on with it. ITSELF.

NO teacup dogs will run all over the beach, jog with its owner, a proper teacup dog is a real baby in the household.  If you walk your dog, fine to a degree but if it is a teacup good chance you will carry that dog all over the show.

This last week I had a lady enquire about teacups and when I went into the details, she said she had no idea, she had no idea if you don’t follow through you can actually lose your puppy because of not doing what you should be doing.

The reason I am very cautious who I entrust this size of pup to as many years ago I had a few folk who claimed they knew it all and did not. IF we hear a pup of ours has paaed, I don’t take the word of the owner, or their vet, I insist on a full laboratory report carried out on that deceased pup and then we know exactly what is for what. THE RESULTS HAVE NEVER COME BACK that the pup has passed as a result of the breeding of that pup. NEVER. I cannot say it never will, but we don’t interbreed, never have and no intention of interbreeding.  Our tinies are bred as nature intended NOT manipulated by me, the reason we can and do sell with health guarantees.

THE Teacup has a bad reputation and this results first and foremost from the public underestimating what it takes to raise that pup and secondly if you buy a badly bred pup or a sickly pup no matter the experience you have or the vet you use has, STATE of the art as so many these days are, NOTHING is going to change the outcome.

You cannot expect to purchase a teacup dog, the real deal for peanuts either, it is time consuming to raise them, to raise them properly and that is where the price originates from.

I would far rather keep a real tiny pup than pass it on to an ill-informed owner or someone who has no idea what it takes to raise that tiny scrap.

We expect all our pups irrespective of their size to live well into their teenage years, having lived a healthy, quality life. AND THEY DO. This however does not go down if the owner is just a dog owner, this only will go down if the owner goes that extra mile and does what is required to do for a dog in their care.

It is so heart warming when I get enquiries from people who bought dogs from me 16, 18 and more years back and in some instances, the dog is still very much alive.

MUSIC TO MY EARS.

If a dog in your life in your home, is just that A DOG, don’t buy a tiny as it simply will not survive, owning the ultimate tiny is for the GENUINE animal loving owner, who nothing is too much trouble for, that getting up all hours of the night, is no issue, to ensure the pup is fed and watered.

Our intention is to inform the public of what it takes to own a GENUINE teacup dog, not something that is tagged as a teacup that is not a teacup.  We take pride in the fact that a good many folk out there have owned - do own, really tiny dogs of ours both in SA and abroad and the dog is in the right hands, the reason they have the dog for all those years in the first place.

 

Thank you for your time………

Teacup breeding pair????

One question I am asked reasonably often, what weight are your breeding pair of teacup dogs????

OR when are you expecting your next LITTER OF TEACUP pups to be born?????

NO SUCH THING EXISTS, genuine teacups are far too tiny to breed with or breed from and no such thing exists as a teacup litter of pups.

IF you are told this goes down, let whoever is giving you this information get it RECORDED in the GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS,

they will make world headlines, not to mention be FAMOUS…

Sterilizing your dog, did you know….. or should I rather say DO YOU KNOW....

I had an enquiry this afternoon 19 June 2021 from a Gentlemen asking me if I would be interested in using his dog for stud, sent me a copy of the pedigree etc.

He thanked me for my input and maybe you too will thank me for the information I am about to share with you regarding sterilizing your dogs, cats….

So many of the public out there are not aware, or not informed by their breeder of choice that the pup they purchased for PET purposes should indeed be sterilized.

 

The healthiest animal is a sterilized animal, cat, dog etc. the health risks once sterilized, are removed from the equation.

The info below refers to dogs.  Cats I am not sure if they have similar health issues if unaltered, but the population explosion with cats worldwide, should make it a MUST to sterilize all felines kept as pets.

 

DOGS

Males unsterilized in older age may present with prostrate issues, infections, cancer etc,

Dogs with one or both retained testicles must be seen by a vet to remove both or either testicle retained, as that is more than likely going to become a cancer issue in later life.

Males – unsterilized are always going to have the urge to lift their legs, the reason some folk will not have a male near their homes and this is in fact so unnecessary, as if a male is sterilized as a pup 6 months of age, the likelihood of this going down is almost zero. BEFORE you say but we have JACK, TOM, Joe, been there done that and one of them continues to lift his leg. You then have to look at the bigger picture.

What age was the dog neutered, OR is there any other factors                                                          that could be influencing this bad habit in the dog, for example UNSTERILISED BITCHES. So many people think fix the one NOT the other then we have no problem. As long as you have either sex not sterilized you could sit with a problem.

 

MALES if your boy gets out that gate and don’t say WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO ME, it does and it can happen and it is not always the casual, could not care less type owner, it happens to either.

All it will take is your boy to show attitude to another male dog and he could end up DEAD, or seriously injured,  no over dramatisation on my part either, happens and happens religiously and often happens when the unaltered boy, goes with his owner to visit family or friends, meets up with a dog or dogs he has grown up with known since a puppy and now they are a threat to this particular dog coming into their territory and they attack and DON’T SAY IT DOES NOT HAPPEN, WILL NEVER HAPPEN, IT HAPPENS. Don’t put your dog at risk.

Another thing so many people say oh it is so unnecessary so painful etc, it is not painful, but necessary, it may be more of an issue with recovery when the dog is older but pups, they get over it in a blink of an eye. Most, same day are over it did not realise anything went down.  Really small sized dogs NO reason not to sterilize.

There is of course a cost involved to sterilize your animal, but that cost is minimal when you may one day, have to have your dog taken to your vet to be put back together because of being mauled by another dog or worse KILLED by another dog..

 

FEMALES, from the bitches, first heat females are at risk of pyometra which is a uterus infection, two types, one you are going to notice being a very messy discharge coming from the vulva and another type, the closed version you may have no idea of going down till your dog is seriously not well and sometimes even deceased.

Unsterilised females are at risk of mammary cancer and growths in the uterus so don’t be too sure you won’t sit with an issue with an unsterilized female. Once your female is no youngster anymore age wise, having any major infection puts her at a major risk of passing on during surgery. However if she sits with a pyometra it is either going to be surgery or death, you wont have the choice then.

This article is meant to help the public with their knowledge of making the right decision, being an informed dog owner. I hope it helps.

Recently I was advised by one of my puppy owners their vet in the CAPE advised against early sterilization, his reason being it can affect a pups development.

I am no vet, but from my own experience over a good few years, a pup sterilized at 6 months of age, such as the Yorkshire terrier or Biewer Terrier or any toy or small breed for that matter, should not sit with the first issue from having been sterilized at 6 months of age.

Giant breed dogs, possibly as they continue to grow for months after the toy breed has stopped growing and early sterilization of a GIANT DANE for example may cause developmental issues in later life, however that is something you should discuss with your trusted veterinarian.

However very early sterilization at 8 to 10 weeks can cause issues with the toy breeds, from the point of view of poor coat development as a mature dog or as I am aware of, from one person I know, the dog needing a replacement hormone given monthly for the rest of her life, as very early sterilisation at around 10 weeks of age has resulted in her losing her coat down the line as a mature dog.

Ask your vet his or her opinion, but from my own experience over a good many years, I have never sat with the first issue sterilizing any dog male or female at 6 months of age.

 

All pups we sell are sold STRICTLY as pets not for any form of breeding at all, sold with a contract, sterilization at 6 months of age NOT NEGOTIABLE.  We have NEVER sold the first pup in thirty years for any form of breeding which would include one litter of pups, or a male offered to anyone interested in producing PUPS.

 

As for those people who have the attitude of, you don’t sterilise your dogs, you have no right to tell me to sterilise mine. WELL all I can say is rather go to someone who does not have the well being of their pups at heart. You came to me for a pup, knowing full well the terms and conditions I have in place and had in place for 30 years.  If you are not the type of person who wants to do right by your puppy, opt for a backyard breeder for example, I prefer to place my pups in animal loving and animal caring homes. PLEASE MOVE ON.

Teacup pups and the ULTIMATE TINY ADULT DOG…..

First and fore most the GENUINE teacup pup is a RARE dog and this is where so much confusion comes into play with so many breeders out there, classifying a teacup dog as weighing an adult weight of 1.8kg or something like that…

So many breeders having so many negative things to say about the teacup and my guess they don’t breed them or produce them as we do and have done for some twenty odd years, owning genuine teacups for three decades, selling the ultimate tiny with HEALTH GUARANTEES, a pup when placed in the right hands will live a long healthy life well into its teenage years with NO health issues to speak of.

However the ANSWER TO HAVING THIS COME TO PASS is all about YOU and who you buy the ultimate tiny from…

FOR YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL RAISING AND OWNING THE GENUINE TEACUP DOG AND INITIALLY the mouse sized PUP A FEW FACTORS HAVE TO COME INTO PLAY………….

First and the most important thing of all you must buy a healthy pup, that means not a pup that has any form of parasite internally or externally, by that we mean, NO FLEAS, no ticks, no worms, no coccidia and no giardia which in all honesty NO pup should be sold being infected with, but sad to say happens all the time. This is when you buy a tiny dog, which is tiny BUT not a teacup dog, may look like one, told it is one, but once you have had it treated for all the HEALTH ISSUES it has presented with, at the time of purchase or shortly thereafter and your trust-worthy vet goes all out, to save your somewhat SICKLY pup, you then have a pup that ends up considerably bigger in size.

Or you buy this cheap teacup or far less expensive pup than the genuine teacup would be, only to find to your horror that the pup is in fact either underaged, or really ill (over run iwth all the parasites possible )and it is then a major vet bill and a dead pup as a small sized pup is exceptionally hard to pull through, no matter how amazing your state of the art vet clinic is, the pup is almost guaranteed to pass on, once infected with all these problems…

ANOTHER VITALLY IMPORTANT FACTOR to being successful with a mouse of a dog is that there should be no interbreeding of any kind.

Once a dog is bred by means of being interbred, faults that are in both parents come into play, so in other words any defects either parent has in the majority of cases will be doubled up on.  ANOTHER reason that tinies or teacups get bad names. It has nothing to do with a teacup being the issue, but how it is bred first and foremost and how it is cared for, once it goes to its new owner.

So often the public are cautioned about buying small dogs, they all die young, they are this, that or the other and my answer to that most breeders having all this to say at some or other stage themselves sold pups as teacups even to myself and those pups either were not teacups to begin with or had major health issues which at that time that breeder chose to ignore or had every excuse as to why it was not their problem.

BE CAUTIOUS, scammers are out there in numbers, as are some ????? breeders.

Lets be perfectly honest here NO dog is meant to be tiny but if they are bred correctly appear in the odd litter from normal miniature sized breeding dogs and by that term MINIATURE for those that have no idea or are told this is the tiny dog, a miniature is an adult weight dog of 2.5 to 3.5kgs. NO mouse, then you get the odd one who comes with this story OH THAT IS THE RUNT, really  ??? 

                          As far as I am aware a runt in a litter is a pup that does not do well from the onset, from birth, far smaller than the others and that goes for giant breeds as well, that is a proper runt, NOT a genuine teacup that is full of life, healthy and happy from birth with NO signs of being unhealthy at all. In fact THRIVES….

The teacup the GENUINE teacup pup is a very hands on pup to raise and we have them out there to prove they exist and are beyond everything else healthy and long lived.

This is where YOU come into the picture.  You have to have the lifestyle to handle a real tiny pup and that is not for a month or two, or until the novelty wears off or until the pup gets bigger or older but in a lot of instances for the lifespan your dog lives and if bred and raised properly that could be 12 to 18 years depending on YOU.

If this is all about you wanting a mouse of a dog as a status symbol, you are the wrong person to own this size of dog. The celebs with all their tinies, those tinies are nothing like the size of a genuine tiny teacup pup.

I have had numerous celebs approach me over many years for a teacup dog and I have told them the lifestyle they lead, all the appearances in public, all the demands made on them because of their career,  NO genuine teacup dog fits into that lifestyle.  POCKET sizes maybe but NO genuine teacup dog. The celebs I have seen with yorkies are NOT teacup sized dogs.

So many people cannot or won’t come to the realisation how or what a teacup dog is all about, if you have the right lifestyle follow the rules, you are going to find it easy, be a know it all, do your own thing, raise this pup as if it is a GREAT DANE pup, chances are you will hit a problem and all I can say is POOR pup, as there are so many QUALIFIED buyers out there for the genuine teacup that NO genuine teacup should end up in the wrong hands.

I do my utmost to ensure this does not go down, but some people simply have no idea or want whatever and invent, the odd story or five to make me believe they are in fact a QUALIFIED owner for this size of pup. Sad, but oh so true…..

So if you are interested in owning this dream size of pup and ultimate dream adult teacup dog, feel free to make contact with me, and we can take this further.

I will advise you of my opinion as to what suits you and the lifestyle you lead, there is no way on earth, I will sell the first genuine teacup to someone I believe is not the right owner. You are most welcome to contact me, it is all about the dog, and that will never change. 

A teacup dog the genuine teacup that is – owning one is a way of life, not a temporary inconvenience.

Owning one is the most amazing  blessing you can have PROVIDED you are suited to owning this size of dog.

At the end of it, it is all about what you are suited and the lifestyle you lead

All about buying CHEAP pups article to appear shortly....AND HERE IT IS....

 

Buying a pup... EXPENSIVE OR NOT????

I get a good deal of the public coming to me about buying a pup and they try and QUIZ me about what they should lookout for if they want a real tiny ??

ASK YOUR BREEDER OF CHOICE, NOT ME. 

I know what I breed, how I breed and the quality of what I breed. I KNOW PRECISELY NOTHING about any other breeder. I don’t have the first thing to say about any other breeder out there, good or bad, as I simply don’t know, and in all honesty don’t want to know.

I know what I do here what I have done here, for the last twenty plus plus plus years. Owned the YORKSHIRE TERRIER for three decades plus...

NO real quality genuine tiny can be purchased at a low price, it is impossible or maybe just your very lucky day but to be out there in NUMBERS never…

To purchase a cheap TINY hopefully will be a positive experience for you, but in most cases a disaster.

To buy cheap and pay a vet twenty to thirty thousand rand to TRY and save your pups life, is simply not worth it, that is if you are in the position to pay that type of money out to begin with and then in 99% of cases the pup passes away.  

OR you have to call it quits as you simply cannot afford these massive vet bills. TRAGIC for sure.

We will ONLY ever sell a tiny sized dog to people we have made sure can handle this size of pup and if they tell us stories it is bound to come out at some or other time and if we find out they have lied to us???? MOVING on, if you don’t treat a really tiny pup or future adult dog or tiny adult dog as a baby, YOU ARE NOT THE RIGHT OWNER.  These are dogs that should be handled like a baby, the owner going the extra mile, this is not a STATUS SYMBOL and over the years I have come across a few of those who ONLY want this dog for that purpose. In fact they have no idea what they want, chop and change their minds etc., and if I get wind of anyone being a problem owner, or buying a dog for all the wrong reasons, I will not sell them the first dog.

There are way too many buyers out there that will do everything possible and more for that very special tiny,

so I don’t need to sell them to just anyone or people with an ego from here to next year…..

I get inundated with people wanting a pup like they saw of mine wherever they saw it, or are in a rush, I rarely can help anyone in a rush, my pups are very sort after and the reason for that, people are sold a quality pup, HEALTHY pup, fully socialized pup, guaranteed exceptional temperament., a pup that reaches very old age in good health.  If you are in a rush as most people are, I am not the person to come to for a pup. There are a couple of thousand other breeders out there that can help you if you are in a rush.

So if you are after that ultimate tiny realise they don’t come cheap if they do, you may be visiting your vet on a more regular basis than the normal person, simply because your pup is possibly underaged, is not a genuine tiny but appears to be one, as it is overrun internally with parasites, the reason I have written articles below to try and help the public not to become a victim in the purchasing process.  UNDERTAKINGS etc. and if some???? Don’t like my suggestions that is TOUGH, I don’t believe the first person deserves to be ripped off by anyone… NO short cuts should be taken by the first person, if you cannot give the pup in your care everything it deserves you should not be breeding or buying the first pup ….

Transporting your much-loved pooch…

THE SAFEST WAY…

How often are we taking a drive and we see a family out and about and the window to the back passenger window is half open and there is the love of their life THE DOG face halfway out the window enjoying the wind going up its nose ….

BAD IDEA.

Ever considered if this family were involved in a car accident what would happen to that pooch and so often it is not the tiniest breed of dog that that goes down with either. 

Impact from the rear, that dog will move forwards and possibly cause major injury to the driver or passenger in the front of the car.

Impact from the side – depending which side, dog may be injured or thrown onto the passenger/s alongside them.

Impact from the front.???? ANYTHING could happen.

The correct way to travel with your pet is with the pet in a carrier of sorts, this may be not that easy with a large breed dog although you do get large and extra large sized carriers for them and if you have a suitable vehicle that is more than easy to accomplish making use of that type of carrier.

We are however now discussing the YORKSHIRE TERRIER and BIEWER TERRIER which are not huge well NOT supposed to be huge but there again depends on how they are bred.

Invest in the type of carrier we sell to our clients a metal frame with canvas cover that is somewhat difficult to destroy.

INFO on this page. This is not a sales gimmick if you thought that.

A pup or dog that is LOOSE in the vehicle is at great risk of  being seriously injured if involved in an accident.

Some years back I got to hear of a puppy loose in the car, driver, a LADY involved in a major car accident, the emergency services were faced with an unconscious driver and a dying puppy. The pup on impact had been flung all around the car and not a pretty picture for anyone to have to contend with.  IF the pup for example had not been injured the vehicle doors opened to help the driver, the pup could have got out the vehicle, onto a busy road and who knows what could have gone down.

To attach a pup or dog by a lead as well may stop the animal getting all over the vehicle but once again DANGEROUS.

A pup or dog in a car seat made for the woof of course, again oh so cute, the woof has a good view of all that goes on out there, BUT again dangerous, if the dog is attached once again by a lead and on impact thrown out of that car seat, the dog may be killed from hanging in mid air or breaking its neck. Again, not the best. NO small breed dog should be controlled by a collar ONLY a harness as a collar brings about some issues, one would like to avoid one of which is a collapsing trachea.  TOY breeds can be susceptible to this health issue and wearing a collar can contribute dramatically to this going down.

The safest way to transport your yorkie or small sized dog is to use a collapsible carrier the type we sell.  The pooch is put in the middle of the rear passenger seats, attached by a safety seat belt and cannot budge, no matter where an impact comes from, rear, front either side, pooch is in the saftest area of that vehicle possible. METAL sturdy frame, highly unlikely to collapse again making it almost impossible for that pooch to suffer an injury and GOD forbid the owner or passengers are seriously injured, emergency services access that vehicle, pooch is safe in the carrier.

PLASTIC type carriers and soft type carriers although serve a purpose may not be such a good idea under these circumstances.

LOOK at the bigger picture before you put your dog in your vehicle, for not only your safety but the pooches as well.

BEWARE …

Yesterday I got a call from a lady in the Cape yesterday being the 4th March 2021 asking if I possibly had a pup as her neighbour was distraught, as were her children, having had to euthanise the pup they had purchased very recently. 

Lady that called me has purchased three MIJOY pups and never the first health issue…..

I don’t know the full story neither does the Lady who phoned me other than to say she had spent hours the previous day trying to help this clearly UNHAPPY, SICKLY pup.

End result, pup taken to vet, the following day suggested to be euthanised. Again, no idea why, what the vet thought to be the issue etc. but be cautious.

I hear it way too often from the public who are contacting me crying their hearts out on the other side of the phone or emailing me with very sad stories to tell.

I have no idea the cost involved with this particular pup and it has nothing whatsoever to do with me in the first place, but inexpensive pups and I am not saying this was the case at all but what I am saying is BEWARE to purchase an inexpensive, sit with constant vets bills may very well end up to be the most expensive pup you have ever owned or purchased. There is nothing funny about investing in a pup you expect to be a companion or a part of your family for years to come and then to sit with nothing other than financial loss, heartache, emotional distress and when it comes to children, it is just that much more of an emotional roller coaster ride.

Seemingly the pup was pretty small and it may have had health issues, it may have had its health compromised by having internal parasites, NO idea, but if you purchase a pup, and you have any concerns with that pup, your first stop off should be your vet and ask him/her to do a stool test as a most important first step to ensure that pup has no internal parasites.   IF it has worms, giardia, coccidia, any of those internal parasites are going to affect your pup and if it is a small size pup, all the more so.  The small sized pup’s overall health is going to be hugely compromised by any internal parasites and external such as fleas and ticks. Definitely bad news as well.

If at time of purchase you have the first concern or possibly no concern at all, as the pup looks fit and healthy which in most cases happens UNTIL THE PUP is removed from the security of the place it was born and moved to a NEW HOME, new surroundings, new faces, NEW EVERYTHING, then stress kicks in and if the pup has any internal parasites this may be the time it all comes into play and the next day or subsequent day/s you sit with a sick pup on your hands.

SO if you have ANY concerns ask the breeder for an undertaking should your vet find the dog to have any problems that he/she feels could compromise the health of that pup, that you will return it and require a refund of what you paid. WE SELL OUR PUPS EVERY SINGLE PUP THAT IS BRED HERE WITH HEALTH GUARANTEES.

However having said this you have to be a responsible owner and do right by that pup and if that pup requires veterinary intervention take it as soon as you notice something going wrong, NOT THE NEXT DAY because you had a long day etc. IMMEDIATELY, so your conscience is clear, and you know that you have done everything possible to ensure the well being of that pup in your hands.

DON’T come with the story to ease your conscience of your having had the pup to the STATE-OF-THE-ART veterinary clinic, VETS are humans they, are not miracle workers. No matter how marvellous they are, they cannot reverse certain conditions that the pup may present with, one being a low body temperature the other hypoglycaemia.  So beware your pup sits with both or either of these health issues you are more than likely going to end up with a dead pup later that day or possibly the next day and it will have nothing at all to do with the first breeder. Either or both of these conditions if not sorted in a relatively short period of time is going to end up as the end of your pup. Be responsible and do what needs to be done. IF at any stage you have concerns and don’t buy a new puppy and go off for the day come back to an ailing baby then look to blame everyone else but yourself.????????????????

There are two sides to every story and let’s not forget that…..

 

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME hope this info was of assistance to some of you out there..

 

OUR FOLLOW UP ARTICLE ABOUT PURCHASING A PUP,

WHAT IS A BETTER OPTION TO BE AS SAFE AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN BE, WHAT A PUP REQUIRES IN THE INITIAL MONTHS OF OWNING IT, TO ENSURE YOU HAVE DONE WHAT NEEDS DOING - NO SHORT CUTS..... 

THIS ARTICLE TO -  FOLLOW SHORTLY.... AND HERE IT IS...

 

 

How to purchase a pup the safest way possible

AND WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU THE OWNER TO ENSURE you have a healthy, happy puppy going forward into adult hood.

 

Be cautious of scams as so many people get suckered into that.

If you are concerned or have had a bad experience before and the pup you are interested in carries NO health guarantees, ask for an undertaking in writing, if your vet, is not 100% happy with the pup you have purchased you will return it for a full refund.

Don’t wait a day or two BEFORE VISITING YOUR TRUSTED VET do this as in immediately.

A good few folk cannot afford to pay high prices for a pup so they go the cheapest route possible and that does not mean you are going to sit with an ill pup at all. JUST be cautious where you buy your pup.

PUPS have to be bred and raised properly, this will include them being dewormed on a regular basis prior to being adopted and checked to ensure they do not have any additional internal or external parasites, WORMS ARE NOT THE ONLY INTERNAL PARASITES THAT CAN BE IN YOUR DOGS INSIDES, these parasites  will require treatment and be cured before moving home. If this has not been done think TWICE.  Worms are only partly the cause of internal issues with pups, a couple of others exist as well. Internal and external parasites can and often do cause major issues, pups become anaemic, the intestines can and do become seriously damaged from cases of internal parasites, the gut loses the ability to absorb nutrients the pup may sit with bad diarrhoea, vomit and dehydrate, all serious conditions for a pup to cope with.

However, we all know how it can be, you see this pup and it is love at first sight or you feel you cannot possibly leave it in the dreadful conditions it has been raised in.  Well then and there you make the decision, if you are going to be its ONLY HOPE and take it no matter what and straight to your vet to check it out from tip of nose to tip of tail. OR You ask the breeder if they don’t mind if you could go with them or they with you, to have the pup examined and if the vet is happy, you will be happy. At the end of the day it is all in your hands.

If you happen to purchase a pup you feel is not quite right don’t wait to see what goes down if anything, be safe and let your vet check the pup over do whatever he /she feels is required to ensure you have a healthy happy.

Owning any pet is not a cheap exercise but you can ensure it is going to be the cheapest possible way forward by putting the steps in place to ensure that happens. DONT TAKE SHORT CUTS, CERTAIN THINGS NEED TO BE DONE AT CERTAIN TIMES, DON’T PUT OFF DOING IT OR TAKING THOSE STEPS.

Feed a well-balanced dog food, NO SPOILS no treats, no tinned food and NO HOME COOKED food and a raw diet has its place out there, but NOT with the small sized pups and small sized dogs, it is a risk.                                                                                                                 

So often a really tiny pup is sold to someone as a pup expected to end up a tiny adult and once all the health issues are addressed and treated by the vet, the pup then becomes a bit of a different story,  normally quite a bit bigger.

Very sad to say often the small sized pup is overburdened with all the parasites and it ends up passing NOT TO MENTION a very high vet bill to pay at the end of it all. So your CHEAP pup is in fact somewhat pricey and then sad to say in so many instances after all of that you HAVE NO PUP.

It is not easy never has been and never will be to gauge a future pups adult weight, certain situations, factors, come into play and I am not going to go into that for now, GROWTH CHARTS are purely a guide line but never take them as what is going to go down with any pup.

Some may say, WHAT!!!!! and a few other things, but I have bred yorkies and produced some exceptionally tiny sized dogs that have lived well into their teenage years, so I do consider myself to be reasonably knowledgeable on this breed and the breeding of this breed of dog, having owned this breed of dog MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE and breeding this breed of dog for well over two decades owning them for over three decades plus.

So my advice to you if you have never owned a pup in your life as some have not take this article seriously…

So you want to buy a pup and your dream pup is the YORKIE, known as the YORKSHIRE TERRIER.

It is not that important as to where you buy that pup or from who but what is of the utmost importance is that they follow the rules about breeding, ethically, professionally and in a healthy manner.

The reason I said in the above article, IF you are worried and there is no contract and no health guarantees on the pup you wish to purchase, or you have concerns, ask the breeder for that letter ?  Some may refuse to give you an undertaking and if that goes down and it does go down, then you are in the know, you either go ahead or you don’t, you have at least been forewarned of what you are looking at, IF you hit a problem with the pup? It is then YOUR decision and you cannot blame anyone should you hit a problem with your pup’s health, you went ahead and purchased the pup knowing full well what to expect if anything goes wrong…

I don’t have pups by the dozen and in most cases my pups are sold before they are born and I get loads of enquiries for pups that I cannot supply.

I am often asked to refer people to other breeders and at one time I did that but no more.  I had people coming back to me telling me how this that and the other went down and I thought best I not refer them to the first breeder out there. I know what happens here, I have NO idea what anyone else does.

So you are on the market for a pup and hopefully you have done some research,  DON’T rush into buying the first animal without taking a long hard think about what that means to you in your life.

You cannot lock up and go off you have a dog cat or whatever to consider.

Buy a dog that serves your needs and purposes and not something you saw at your friends and now it is a case of got to have one like that, SO COOL OR SO CUTE or whatever, BUY what is suited to you, not what you see at someone else’s home.

 

You buy something you are comfortable owning, taking care of and not something that is a problem as you don’t have the time, So you buy a pup it has had its first inoculation deworming and the vet has checked it out. YOU SHOULD ONLY TAKE OWNERSHIP of this pup once the shot has had time to take effect but this does not mean you are home and dry. I HAVE HAD THE PUBLIC LOSE A PUP (often to PARVO) and say to me we bought it and were told it had been inoculated and dewormed thought nothing more required????

So listen up as this is pretty important information.

A pup will inherit immunity from the mother dog which lasts for a period of time and NO one knows when that immunity inherited from MOTHER dog ends, so it could be anywhere from 5 to 8 weeks of age and if the mother dogs immunity is still active in the pups body the first shot administered by the vet MAY not be effective or may be cancelled out due to the influence the mothers immunity has on that initial inoculation.

So you buy a pup having had its first inoculation, don’t put that pup down in public and don’t take it all over the place. The second inoculation should be administered at 9 to 10 weeks of age and again, a period of time will pass for the immunity to develop in your pup.   BUT here again, 2 shots down and numerous dewormings you are not safe, home and dry, the pup must then have a third shot plus rabies and only once that final shot has been administered and a further period gone down (7 to 10 days) can you be 99.9% certain your pup is immunised. This is when your pup is 4 months of age.

Don’t skip out on the inoculations. Make sure your pup is immunised at the time it is supposed to be, don’t miss inoculations.

So sorry to say your pup needs all these shots and the time post, the shots before you can safely go to PUPPY school, training of any kind, and PUPPY CRECHE’S??? A huge risk if not fully immunised and let’s not talk about Doggy Parlours not an option at all, until your puppy has had all those shots.

What can go down even if your pup is immunised, the initial inoculation if given and the pup has been in contact or comes into contact with the PARVO virus which is airborne your pup may very well contract the disease. NOT an easy story and in a good few cases poses a threat to the pup’s life, URGENT vet care required don’t sit back and WAIT….

Distemper is also a disease that can put your pup at risk BUT parvo is the main issue with puppies.

External parasites, fleas and ticks.  Fleas in any numbers are going to start causing your pup issues, fleas in most cases will mean your pup has tapeworm so treat for fleas DEWORM your puppy or dog. Fleas in number will make your pup ANAEMIC.

If your pup has an allergy to flea bites it only will take one bite to start it scratching like crazy.

Ticks of which there are various types, can cause biliary in your pup and dog.  NO inoculations against this, safeguard by using an appropriate preventative treatment.

E.g. FRONTLINE, REVOLUTION, we make use of both of these products and never one issue with either, have done so for years on end.  Ensure what you use on your pup or dog, IS SAFE and is what should be used for the size of your pup or dog, DON’T overdose and ensure you use a safe product. Some have been known to cause a hiccup with some dogs, so maybe RESEARCH THE PRODUCT YOU OPT TO USE before actually using it.

DON’T overdose, use according to weight and that is most important especially with smaller sized pups and dogs and the same goes for deworming, use a dewormer suited to deworm your pup or dog’s weight, not for a considerably bigger pup or dog. DON’T OVERDOSE your pup or dog, this can cause major health issues and is a POISON at the end of the day, (tick and flea prevention) so don’t take chances.

 

Dewormers are also a poison so all the more reason to be cautious but something that needs to be done.

Now your pup is fully immunised and prevent treated against ticks and fleas how often the preventative treatment required to be done will depend on what you are using, but it you have fleas and ticks in your area, best be safe than sorry.

Some types of ticks carry biliary there is no inoculation to prevent this and if your dog or puppy develops biliary you have to have it treated by a vet timeously or your puppy will pass away.

 

The next important step to owning a healthy dog is sterilisation.

This is done for the benefit of both you and your dog, leave breeding to breeders and don’t have the attitude not necessary it hurts painful and a bunch of other stuff. IT is the best thing for your pet. It will prevent future health issues that may occur down the line when your pet is in the advanced years and at that time, may be an issue with anaesthetic. A pup is sterilised in no time at all, quick fix and no issues going forward.

What can you dog suffer with going forward if unsterilized…????

Females pyometra, infection of the uterus, Mammary cancer and so forth, female dogs present with two types of pyometra a closed pyometra and an open pyometra. The closed type you are not going to realise anything is wrong with your dog until it Is possibly too late and your dog passes. The open type of pyometra the dog will pass obvious discharge from her female parts which could be from mild to severe and in most cases, this will result in an emergency sterilisation being carried out to save your dog’s life.

Males prostrate cancer, issues with urinating which in later life may result in an emergency neutering to stop the issue continuing if left unattended to, your dog is going to develop irreversible kidney damage.

Males with one or both testicles retained, serious situation and needs to be removed by vet failing which, cancer will be a high risk down the road for your dog.

 

The attitude of it not happening to you as in my dog will never get out of my property no need to sterilise never is near other dogs. THERE IS ALWAYS A FIRST TIME…

Unsterilised males may have the attitude of being a lion although in this breed the size is nowhere near that of a lion but very sad to say in the majority of cases, they come across another dog out and about, male, etc, almost guaranteed a fight will happen and in most cases the pushy little yorkie gets the worst of it and so often FATAL…

 

Be cautious this does not only happen with males but female dogs as well…

Ensure you do what you can to the best of your ability to ensure the good health and safety of  your dog if your dog is not micro chipped by the breeder,  get it done at your vet and put a harness on your dog when out and about with a tag advising it is chipped or with name and number of owner.

You can never be too careful….

Realise one thing, not everyone who may pick up your dog if it is out and lost, will return it to you, not everyone is honest and a lot of people are of the opinion if the dog is on the street the owner does not deserve to have it returned. ???

If you however find a dog no matter if it is a thoroughbred or just an adorable cross breed, it is your duty to have that dog scanned at an animal shelter or vet to check, if the animal is indeed chipped or not.

All pups that leave us as well as our own animals are micro chipped. Ensure at all times the info on that database is up to date. NO point in having moved house changed contact details and not updated the info on the database,  as no one is going to be able to make contact with you, should they find your dog.

Remember invest a small amount of time to enjoy a huge benefit. Do the necessary for your pup and dog and enjoy a lifetime of very little problems if any, we go that extra mile, we don’t have dogs suffering with ill health, our dogs live well into their teenage years.

Take that extra bit of care for a lifetime of love, enjoyment and total dedication from your much-loved pet.

SCAMS out there BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

Mijoy have been warning the public about scams for more years than I can remember.

Just a few pointers to take into consideration if you find yourself in a situation where you are not certain if this is a scam or not?

WEBSITES if the owner of that website has paid to have it set up and pays monthly for it to operate, been in existence a fair length of time, you should be more than safe.

However view contents to that site, do they ONLY advertise pups for sale or is the site in general one of content advising on raising of pups, etc, showing umpteen pics of dogs they have bred in their homes, happy clients in those pics as well. ???  If so you should be more than safe.

Owning or advertising via a website does not mean you are guaranteed of this being a legit dog breeder. 

SO many websites are available FREE. NO need to run scared. DO some homework.

If all else fails, find out where the BREEDER registers their pups and enquire with the registering body, how long they have been a breeder, are they first and foremost a registered breeder.

BE CAUTIOUS when told the story the parents are registered but we don’t register our pups??? WHY not ? IF that were indeed the case, the pups should be registerable. 

To register costs a minimum amount.

 

THINGS BREEDERS GET TO CONTEND WITH…

It happens so often in this day and age, contacted by a member of the public who has been SCAMMED and I,  who had nothing whatsoever with them being scammed in the first place,  must help them out as some SCAMMER took their money and now I must compensate them for that????

Another thing I get happen  ( for years)and a good few times, being told of a disabled member of the family who would love a teacup yorkie but the family cannot afford it and it would make this persons life change dramatically if they just had that pup.  I don’t give my pups away, most certainly not to a family that tell you they cannot afford to buy the dog, then I have to take into consideration, they cannot afford the dog, what happens if the dogs needs a vet? Will I have to pay for that too?  SORRY vets are expensive in this day and age.

OR we are retired and it is our lifelong dream to own this dog and we cannot afford it now BUT if you could see your way clear………………

IF a breeder breeds with quality dogs, does everything possible for their pups it is a costly exercise. It is not only the pups that are cared for but the parent dogs. NOTHING is cheap these days so don’t expect a quality, well bred and raised dog to be CHEAP.

The term TEACUP is thrown around by breeders and scammers alike, who view this term as being a draw card and it is, sad to say, however to some of these cons out there it is no different than saying HELLO to someone, we breed teacups, this is a teacup and so it continues…. Wise up. NO genuine well bred and above all else HEALTHY TEACUP dog sells for peanuts. We own have bred the GENUINE teacup for decades.  We sell every pup that leaves us with HEALTH GUARANTEES all our pups are micro chipped and have been for the best part of twenty years now.   Every pup leaves us with having had at least two inoculations to ensure no pup leaving us will present with parvo in a week or two. Our genuine tinies leave us having had all their inoculations and rabies.  NO TEACUP leaves at 8 weeks of age, neither would a small sized pocket leave at that age either, they are here till they are three and four months of age. We GO THAT EXTRA MILE, if that makes folks, breeders out there GREEN, well so be it. We do right end of it. NO SHORT CUTS.

Some wise guy has been mouthing off about a scam involved with MIJOY but it is NOT Mijoy HE SAYS,  well no such thing has ever gone down, and the person responsible for that story,  best be aware that I have his emails on file, where he threatened me, and they are in fact on his companies LETTER HEAD not such a  wise move after all.  Yet another one who was scammed and thought he would pressurize me into handing him a top-quality small pocket pup for peanuts in NO time at all...

 

So, rest assured it is not only the public that are scammed but some breeders as

well or so it would appear. It is nothing short of disgusting how some people go all out to bad mouth, gossip about others with their fictional facts of certain situations.  MORE THAN DISGUSTING. Wise up see the green-eyed monster.

Thank you for your time, may your experience with purchasing a companion pet be an exceptional one and not a NIGHTMARE…..

 

We don't breed pups in numbers never have and never will, for MIJOY it is a passion and an ART to place the right pup in the right home

 

TCUP yorkies, a fair amount  to know about this very SORT AFTER,

rather controversial size of dog….

Well let me put it like this, owned this size of dog for over thirty years, produced them every now and then for over twenty years and the reason I say produced them, TEACUP sized dogs don’t breed and anyone who even attempts to breed with them, should be hung out to dry. More than likely kill their dog, IF that tiny size of dog breeds to begin with. EVERY pregnant GENUINE teacup dog will require a caesarian to produce her pups. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM if you were so inconsiderate to even attempt to breed with them you are putting your dog’s life at risk.

So should you read an advert claiming the mother is a teacup think long and hard about that, unless, the breeder claims a teacup is a 1.8kg adult weight dog. POSSIBLY???

 

 NO SMALL SIZED YORKSHIRE TERRIER OR BIEWER TERRIER SHOULD EVER BE USED IN ANY BREEDING PROGRAM.

 

ALL OUR PUPS ARE SOLD WITH HEALTH GUARANTEES.  No matter how small or big they may be…..

HOWEVER…..

One has to understand a few things before venturing into owning this sort of sized pup and eventual tiny adult sized dog.

I sell every pup that leaves me at MIJOY with health guarantees, but and there is a BUT….

I can do this, sell with HEALTH GUARANTEES, as the teacups and tiny sizes I produce are bred as nature intended NOT manipulated into being produced to begin with.  HUGE difference, in how I arrive at owning and selling the GENUINE teacup dog and how most others are come by.

What is a teacup sized dog and in this day and age - the term TEACUP is added to so many adverts to promote the selling of those pups.  Most of the public that come to me, have no idea exactly how tiny this size of dog is in fact.  They have been told 1.5kg or 1.8kg to my mind that is no teacup size dog. However listen up here, there is no breed standard for this size of dog anyway, being so tiny IS NOT supposed to be possible.

I have produced teacups from a bitch of 3kg and a dog of 2.5kg and the pup has reached an adult weight of 600gms, lived well into his teenage years. His pic is on this very website, beside a pair of sunglasses. PEOPLE who refer to a runt in a litter, as is often requested don’t realise what a runt actually is. Normally a pup that is a pup that simply does not thrive no matter the circumstances. A runt does poorly in the litter, it shows.

It has happened to me a good few times over the last good few years that I have produced and owned adult dogs living well into their teenage years as small as 550gms as adult weight, however what I prefer to sell to the public are teacups that reach around one kilogram adult weight and at that weight they are solid and robust and will not be blown over with a gust of wind either. SOLID little bricks on four short little legs.

The reason this size of dog has such a BAD reputation can be due to a few factors.

People buying this size of pup THAT have N0 Idea what it takes to raise it.

OR it has been manipulated into being produced by some folk out there which is known by the term, INTERBREEDING which results in sickly, short lived, unhealthy, pups that in most instances don’t live any length of time.  SHORT LIVED is a term which so many breeders out there label this size of dog. Or they tell the buyer you should know the teacup dog has health issues????  Really….

The bottom of the line, this dog has to be bred from normal sized dogs with no known health issues of any kind. HEALTHY adult dogs.

 

This size of dog has to be in the right home in the right hands, as much as most don’t want to hear this, and insist they have raised kittens, owned hamsters, YOU CANNOT begin to compare either with a GENUINE teacup pup.

I won’t and don’t sell to just anyone who now decides they want to own a mouse of a dog, this is a LIFE, not something you can look after for a week or three then decide it is now a dog, to get on with it as you would any other NORMAL sized pup, There is nothing normal about the size of a genuine tiny teacup pup.

If you answer adverts, stating teacup pups for sale, the first question you need to ask the breeder is WHAT WEIGHT DO YOU CLASSIFY A TEACUP TO BE AS AN ADULT DOG???  You may be in for a few surprises on this one. You as a buyer may think this is the normal weight. I get that very often, the public quite amazed to hear you get dogs that are healthy and long lived at such small sizes and such low weights.  The reason that the majority of people do not suit owning the first genuine teacup sized dog or puppy.

I do not sell to families or parents where this size of pup is going to be for children, teenagers, varsity students. I will ONLY place this size of pup with someone who knows the effort and devotion it takes to raise it and raise it properly. To live a healthy life well into the teenage years.

To want to own this size of dog because it is COOL, a huge attraction when you go out with your pooch in hand, this would classify you as an attention seeker, nothing more or if the reason for your wanting this size of pup is because you are 0000000oh so STATUS conscious, the latter ???? really.  Buy a Porsche, or whatever, BUT this baby, actually breathes. IT is a life.  NOT to be taken lightly by anyone wanting to own one for the reason of LOOK AT ME… we sell to genuine animal lovers whose pup comes first.

If you work away from home, don’t buy this size of pup, NOT a good idea at all, this dog usually bonds with its owner not an entire bunch of folk.

This dog is not something you leave home with the maid, Granny or hand over to a babysitter, this is simply NOT ON and strongly not advised. Going on holiday don’t buy this pup if it does not form part of the family, not advised, they mope, stress out and once again we STRONGLY advise against.

The public are warned about buying this size of dog for a few reasons. One of which is they can die pretty easily. True or false.? TRUE but in the right hands, you are not going to hit that problem, if you handle this pup as you should and not handle it, as you would just any other pup. It will be plain sailing, however, buy it,  treat it casually and think you know everything there is to know, chances are pretty good in time to come you will hit a problem be it a week, three weeks, three months down the line. This size of pup and ultimate adult dog is not something that you can leave or PUT OFF TILL TOMORROW. Tomorrow may be too late….

A teacup pup is not something you handle in your stride, or will get to whenever that may be,  it is a change of your lifestyle. Your top priority would be no different to your priority in having a baby in the house, the teacup is the baby.

If this is not for you, DON’T even go there.

So many times, I get the public complaining about this or that breeder selling them, what they presume to be a SICK puppy, they lost in no time at all. UNLESS you have proof of this being the case and by that, I mean having a LABORATORY perform the autopsy, don’t go there. Don’t repeat what your vet said or did not say, get the LAB reports to begin with.  It is so easy for the public to mouth off about what happened to their puppy, not to mention to the next breeder , who may have questionable ethics and mouths off as well about things they know precisely NOTHING about. If you have the first issue take it up with the breeder YOU CHOSE.   I am so cautious in placing a pup of this size, as I too had this from the public a good many years back when they knew absolutely everything to know about owning a mouse of a dog and it was proven without a shadow of a doubt,  they knew PRECIOUS little.

If you have concerns with any pup you have purchased no matter from who,  take it up with the breeder not everyone else in town. IT is most unfair to do so and as I have so often heard from the public they tried, and the phone was put down on them, or they were ignored or slandered themselves. Well you chose the breeder NO ONE ELSE, in future do some research.

Any pup of mine has the first issue of any kind, I insist on a lab doing the testing etc, and I don’t sit with issues with the first pup.

I do however go to great lengths to place my pups in the right homes. I can do this, as I don’t have dozens of pups here, not my style never has been,  it is always about the pup on hand and what is best for that pup.

 

Things to know about the proper teacup dog,

They appear in the odd litter, a small sized pup in a litter does not necessarily mean it is a teacup, so many factors to consider,

the pup nursing as it should nurse?

How much competition does it have at the milk bar?

How soon does it begin to eat solids? This story of a tiny pup only drinking milk for weeks on end is precisely that - A STORY.

I cannot go into extensive details here, other than to advise you that it is exceptionally rare to find the genuine, healthy teacup pup. Most sold as teacup end up pockets most reaching around 1.5kg as adults. Some a couple of kgs.

Those that claim to breed them and have a few to choose from, not so sure you will find that to be a teacup, more than likely future pocket sized dogs.

Is this pup free from external and internal parasites? A HUGE GAME CHANGER on the actual size of pup, you will buy at the end of the day. The reason so many are bought and sold as teacup, as at time of purchase they are so tiny and end up massive.

TEACUPS never appear in litters, ever. I am so often asked, when is my next litter of teacup pups due??? The answer to this would be NEVER. I have never had a litter of all teacup pups in the last 30 years.  I have however had the odd teacup arrive in the odd litter of pups a good few time in the last twenty odd years and I have owned really small sized dogs in excess of thirty years. All my tinies are produced from Normal breeding sized dogs,

not mice.

It is very difficult to determine an exact weight of a pup as an adult, GROWTH charts may indicate an adult weight but don’t guarantee it,

so much to take into consideration when using a growth chart.

So realise when you are quoted weights from growth charts there is a margin for error. SOMETIMES that margin is somewhat WIDE….

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, BE INFORMED.

BEWARE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THE TEACUP PUP AND DOG, IF THIS DOG IS BRED CORRECTLY AND IN THE RIGHT OWNERS HANDS, THIS SIZE OF DOG WILL LIVE WELL INTO ITS TEENAGE YEARS.... 

we dont sell this size pup to just anyone,  right home a must....

 The sizing of your dog….

*Teacups GENUINE teacups should be 1.1kg or less in weight, however if you own an overfed yorkie it could weigh a good deal more, as in 300gms more,  give or take

*Pockets we like to categorise them as in the small pocket, medium pocket and large pocket.

* MINIATURE yorkshire terrier to a PROFESSIONAl breeder is an adult weight dog of 2.5 kg to 3.5 kg.

*Standard would mean bigger than the above, however the breed standard calls for a dog adult weight of 7lbs.  However over the years the sizes have become far smaller and in some cases far bigger.

*Looking to buy?  Ask your breeder of choice their intepreation of sizing, you may be quite surprised ….  Best to discuss exactly what you are looking for without labeling the size…. As so many breeders have major difference of opinions in sizes…

 

Looking to buy a teacup pup?

We at MIJOY have owned teacups for more than three decades and produced them ourselves for over two decades. If you are looking to buy a teacup, ensure firstly you have the lifestyle to own it, this is not a pup you have to look after for that bit longer, this is a life change owning the ultimate tiny dog.  We suggest you dont work or work from home and if you holiday away from home and cannot take the teacup with you, we advise you don't own it.

DENTAL HYGIENE FOR YOUR DOG…  31 July 2020

 

One of the most important things you can do for your dog is to pay attention to his/her dental hygiene, over all mouth hygiene.  By doing this in years to come you will save yourself THOUSANDS in vet bills.

An unhygienic mouth or bad dental hygiene in your pet’s mouth is not only an unpleasant story for you, having to smell that awful breath but to allow your dogs overall health to degenerate because of allowing its teeth to become a dental disaster.

Bad dirty teeth don’t only cause issues to the mouth but gum disease can arise from allowing this to go down and in time, a good few of your dog’s internal organs may become DISEASED as a result of this.

Mouth infection from dirty teeth and diseased gums can enter the blood stream and when that happens it will be downhill for your pet in some areas of it’s over all health.

 

HOW DO YOU AVOID THIS FROM GOING DOWN?

You can teach your puppy to have its teeth brushed,  any age of dog can get accustomed to its teeth being brushed. Use a dog tooth paste, if you find that too much effort, purchase a dog toothpaste that will keep the tartar at bay if used regularly BUT the dog must have clean teeth to use this product or use it with success.

There are loads of products available in SA as well as overseas, sprays etc, and if used as meant to be used, your dog may never ever sit with the first issue with teeth. IT all depends how important it is for you the owner.

I received an advert in my mailbox this morning. I will add it to this information but remember if you sit with a dog with a smelly breath, find out the cause of that, don’t just assume it is the norm for the dog, we are now far more advanced with things such as dental hygiene for your pet. 

PREVENTION is far better than cure and a lot cheaper at the end of the day. 

You can also use certain dog chews available but no matter what you use it is not a guaranteed SORT IT OUT. Keep an eye on your pet’s mouth. If that is a YUK story for you, see your vet annually for a thorough check up.  You should be visiting your vet annually anyway for your dog to have a thorough overall check-up.

BE WISE about dental hygiene, at the end of the day it could not only save you thousands but may extend the longevity of your pet’s life by years.

A healthy mouth is a healthy pet….

Dear Joyce

How do I thank you! I can’t explain the instant love that this little guy brought. He is like a tonic of happiness. 

 

My younger son and I spent the whole day sitting on the floor, totally absorbed by this adorable little personality.  The one minute a bunny pouncing, then a pitbull tugging at your sleeve, then 5 minutes later sound asleep in your lap, your baby.... my baby!

 

He is so tiny that he instinctively brings every ounce of motherhood flooding back....

and immediately I understand your cautiousness and insistence of a home where there is good care and understanding of these little fellows.

 

Thank you for breeding more than a perfect puppy.... yes!  it is  the thick luscious coat, the short strutting legs, the compact perfectly proportioned body.... but he is more - a gift, a blessing!

 

Kind regards

Tracy

Response to allegations brought against  MIJOY by a bitter someone. 13 May 2020

 

HISTORY OF MY BREEDING TO BEGIN WITH.

I would like to put it out there, that I breed teacups or should I say PRODUCE teacups as I am not guilty of doing anything underhanded, to produce the ultimate tiny dog which will live into its teenage years if in the right owners hands.

I have owned my first teacup as a young adult and now am a grandmother and in all these years have been passionate about this breed of dog.

EVERY pup that leaves me is sold with health guarantees, should anyone have the first issue with a dog of mine I insist on LABORATORY testing and if the animal should pass away, I insist on the entire body being sent into the laboratory for a full body autopsy. NOT once has this come back to me as it being my breeding for the reason of the dog or pups death.

I have bred and owned dogs that have reached an adult weight of 550 and 600gms that have lived with NO health issues into their teenage years.

I pride myself in my dogs the pups I put out there.

 

However the person concerned came to me a good number of years back wanting a teacup pup, I send out monthly newsletters have done so for the last twelve odd years once this person came to realise that I produce the very occasional TINY teacup she then had to have  the tiniest possible.  I am adverse to selling ultra tiny dogs as they are very hands on and I advise the public of that.  However I have teacups in overseas countries as well as in SA that are healthy long- lived dogs.

I offered this person pups repeatedly that she agreed to adopt then it would be a case of I think I must rather wait till the next lot maybe I get a really tiny dog, the pups she was offered repeatedly years back would reach around 1kg to 1.1kg as an adult dog, however that is clearly not what the lady had in mind as the repeatedly cancelled from her side.  About three or four years back I do have the date etc on file, she in fact PAID for a teacup dog of mine a pup that reached an adult weight of 700gms however ONCE AGAIN she cancelled taking this pup as it was a male and she thought female better.

I am not sure how she expects me to have dogs that are an abnormal weight regularly it simply does not happen and that is what this is all about. Her wanting an abnormally tiny pup that will be an abnormally tiny adult.  I don’t sell dogs for any other reason than to be loved and treated like part of the family and when it comes to teacups they have to be the baby in that family.

Her daughter purchased two teacups from the Cape at which time I suggested to her she let me refund her and buy from that breeder. NO it had to be a MIJOY dog,  she then suffered with breast cancer and at this time I had no threats but after this I was given dead lines to have a teacup for her by such and such a date.

ANYONE knowing the first thing about a teacup pup will know it only appears once in a blue moon.  She would say to me funny how other folk get dogs from you but never me. ????  The reason for this,  when offered the pup they actually take the pup, they  don’t make some or other excuse of waiting for another smaller one.

So my deadline was to have a pup for her by end of 2019  OR ELSE FACE THIS THAT OR THE OTHER…. THREATS, BLACK MAIL,  WHATEVER….

 

Over many years I have come to realise that I am more than happy with what I do, I will not sell a pup to just anyone, I do not and never have sold the first pup for breeding of any kind.  My pups are sold purely as pets and have always been for the last thirty odd years.

This person has been refunded ten thousand rand of her money and after requests asking her for proof of payment she has not come to light with any of that.

On her hunt to find the ultimate mouse dog she said to me she would come to JOBURG book into a B & B and spend her days with me seeing how I handled teacup dogs and if necessary we could go to my vet DAILY for the pup to be checked up on.?????????????????????????  Why on earth would I breed dogs that needed to see a vet daily and least of all consider passing a problem pup on to anyone.  This is not how I operate and I advise people,  if I feel they have the lifestyle to own this size of dog how to handle it every step of the way and more so the very tiny one’s . NO one can accuse me of trying to get them to purchase a teacup dog of mine, if they don’t have the lifestyle to own it.  NO ONE. In fact in past years I have been threatened a few times by the public when I have refused point blank to sell them a teacup dog as they have young children, or their lifestyle simply does not permit them owning one.  I have been threatened repeatedly of being exposed because if they can afford to buy one they deserve to own one. It is way more important to me to sell a teacup pup into the right hands than be BRIBED or attempted to be bribed,  or threatened to hand over or else………… 

 

I had a really small female weighing 584gms as an adult at which time I was told should be her dog and best I hand it over. ?????????

Teacups are not adult weight dogs of 1.8kg, 2kg or even 1.5kg.  Far smaller. 

Teacups in general have a bad name as in the majority of cases when bred are manipulated to be born, interbred which we do not do, never have done, the reason our teacups are sold with HEALTH GUARANTEES as are all our pups irrespective of size. Breeders interbreed mother to son, father to daughter sister to brother the reason they are sickly if bred like this.

I just had a client of mine this morning call me up over this saga and say her daughter bought a teacup and it was nothing but ill from day one, umpteen operations later, the cost of the vet bills etc, and this is something that happens frequently out there.  THOSE are the breeders who should be put on social media and slandered NOT myself.  The breeders who INTERBREED and then when the client has issues, advise clients this is a dog you will have untold issues with all their living years, I would not be proud of saying I bred teacups of that nature.

So breeders out there if you happen to be reading this keep your distance from this buyer as she is never satisfied and you too can be slandered, blackmailed, threatened and heaven alone knows what all else, because she does not get her demands and threats met, as I simply cannot manufacture a pup when she decides it is now time.

I suggested on more than one occasion she please go elsewhere but never did, I was the one she would threaten and carry on at repeatedly.

This situation is now being handed over to an ATTORNEY to take legal action for deformation against this person.  She has misled the public, lied about the situation and most strange never approached an attorney to handle this  matter ONLY done it herself with her THREATS of KNOWING WHERE I LIVE for example????? IF I don’t do A B and C, I will have X Y and Z go down. 

So unnecessary but I guess if you don’t get a MOUSE of a pup on demand you then have to resort to some rather strange antics.

 

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Hi to Puppy buyers out there...

Yesterday i received a phone call from a somewhat distraught buyer who had firstly been scammed as above, secondly been sold an inferior quality pup, that lasted for all of THREE weeks being at a vet most of those three weeks.

What can you do to protect yourself against unscrupulous breeders, scammers out there.

• Be cautious of the free ads,  they are not always what they appear to be.  
• If the breeder has their own website, that would be an advantage but be cautious as well as if it is a FREE WEBSITE design your own for FREE you could be dealing with a scammer
• Remember you get what you pay for.  Sad to say some people pay out thousands and end up with a pet that is first and foremost inferior quality but if that is not bad enough, it is at the vet most of the rest of its life - sad to say happenign more and more frequently

PLEASE remember breeders who breed quality pups cannot afford to sell them for peanuts, as they have paid to buy breeding stock of quality first and foremost.  Go all out to sell quality healthy pups.  To breed and breed properly COSTS the breeder money. NOTHING cheap about breeding and breeding properly, meaning parent dogs fed teh best, get the best, always up to date fully inoculated, HENCE no parvo or distemper can possibly develop in their offspring PROVIDED the pups are immunised correctly.  

 

BE CAUTIOUS of adverts that read from registered parents..

• if indeed the parents are registered, there is no reason the pups cannot be registered
• Pups that are registered may not be good quality either, it depends. REMEMBER registering bodies are purely that, registering bodies, they dont get to see the pups, they would not necessarily know a good pup from a bad one. They rely purely on the integrity of the breeder that all pups they register are the breed they are claimed to be.
• Be cautious of the word IMPORTED being thrown around as well. It would depend from who a dog was imported and what quality of dog was imported. A fair amount of dogs imported into SA were GIVEN away as being sub-standard.  this happened basically with BIEWER TERRIERS
• ANOTHER TERM THROWN AROUND SOMEWHAT LOOSELY IS TEACUP SIZES PUPS  this should signal WARNING 

 

HOW DO YOU KNOW THE PUP YOU INTEND BUYING IS INDEED GOING TO BE A SMALL SIZED ADULT...

​Some pointers to consider

• All small sized pups have small NOSES ?? How would anyone know in the first place what was a small or large sized nose???
• One thing i can tell you,  smaller sized future adult dogs as pups, ears will all be erect with NO assistance from tape.  This is a very obvious sign your pup is goint to end up a small adult size but htere again how small is small, as not all small pups, are teacup size, not in the least. the pup you view or own has ears that are down, NO SMALL SIZED future adult dog and if your dogs ears are permanently down irresepctive the size the dog is not of good quality.  OR your dog has way too much fur on its ears pulling them down.  
• Teacups as we refer to ours as being the GENUINE teacup as everyone and their AUNTIE claims to breed teacups are not suited to most people. They are sold at a hefty price simply because they are major hands on to raise by the breeder, if born at teacup weight and remain teacup weight throughout. 
• You get the odd pup that is born bigger and may end up considerably smaller that happens to us as well, but those pups BORN bigger that end up smaller are far easier to raise than the genuine teacup pup is.
• No teacup adult dog is suited to breeding, they are way too small.  Your advert reads mother is teacup??? RUN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
• The teacup dog has a very bad name out there, reason being the way SOME have attempted to produce them and failed miserably. the only way to produce GENUINE TEACUP pups is as nature intended with NO manipulation of any kind by the breeder. the reason we sell all our pups teacups included with HEALTH GUARANTEES.

 

OUR TEACUPS ARE SOLD TO APPROVED BUYERS ONLY - THEY ARE THE CHILD IN THE HOUSE, THEY LEAVE HERE AT FOUR MONTHS OF AGE THEY WILL BE FULLY INOCULATED AND THAT INCLUDES RABIES. THEY WILL BE MICRO CHIPPED. THEY WILL BE REGISTERED. THEY WILL BE STERILISED BY THE NEW OWNER AS PER THE CONTRACT SIGNED AT TIME OF HANDING OVER.  THERE ARE CERTAIN TERMS AND CONDITIONS WE SELL ALL OUR PUPS WITH.

ALL CARRY HEALTH GUARANTEES. WE GUARANTEE NO PUP LEAVES US, BEING AT RISK OF DEVELOPING PARVO OR DISTEMPER. NO PUP LEAVES US WITH ANY SKIN DISEASE. 

WE GO THAT EXTRA MILE, WE ARE ULTRA FUSSY ABOUT THE BABIES WE SELL AND VERY STRICT WITH WHERE ARE PUPS END UP GOING TO.

 

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

we dont breed with MICE sized dogs so that we can produce MICE our MICE sized dogs are produced from

the NORMAL sized breeding dogs, we do not interfere with their being born, BORN AS NATURE INTENDED

Reason we can and do sell with HEALTH GUARANTEES we expect ALL OUR PUPS to live very long and healthy and happy lives, HOWEVER the tinier the dog, the more KNOWLEDGEABLE the future owner needs to be.

We sell all our pups strictly as pets never have sold the first for breeding purposes since we bred PUPPY NUMBER ONE, this will include dogs bought with the intention to cover friends dogs or a PET dog purchased to produce a litter or two.  Steriisaiton at 6 months of age BORN TO BE LOVED, lie on the bed, be a real part of the family.

Teacups bred as nature intended NOT INTERBRED

We sell with HEALTH GUARANTEES always have

We work with WAITING LISTS only!!!!!!!!!!

We don’t farm with dogs, and we are not a PUPPY MILL,

 we NEVER have pups in  LARGE quantities

 

TIP for buyers out there wanting the small sized pups

• THEIR EARS ARE PRICKED FROM THE START (MEANING up)
• Ears that require taping to stand erect are NOT small sized pups
• Pups with ears that are down are not small sized pups UNLESS they have been major  ill then this may be the case. It would then be advised to keep well clear. 
• Be cautious don’t become another victim
• WHAT IS A TEACUP DOG? In my language a healthy robust pup that is a maximum weight of 1.1kg as adult, with NO HEALTH ISSUES
• A miniature is not a small sized dog

Our teacups we have bred have been as little as 550gms as an adult weight and HEALTHY living for 12 and 14 years with NO health issues

ENSURE YOU ARE SUITED TO OWNING, THE VERY TINY SIZED PUP AND DOG,

WE WILL NOT SELL TO ANYONE WE FEEL DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA REQUIRED, TO OWN AND RAISE THIS SIZE OF PUP

JUST A NOTE OF APPRECIATION Hello Joyce, I just had a read through your website and was so impressed with everything you said. I have been 'preaching' tiny-yorkie etiquette to people for many years. My pet (no pun intended) hate was and still is, those people who used to come up to me while walking with my doggie (1,5kg) and asking where I 'got" it because they want one for their kids. Then I have to explain that a tiny yorkie is not a plaything for small kids and that they should really get a bigger doggie for kids to play with. Anyway, I have tears in my eyes, missing my little Emily so much seeing all the look-a-likes in your gallery . One day I will have another tiny yorkie and I will most certainly put my name on your waiting list. R.I.P Emily (2001 - 2016)

 

SO PLEASED TO RECEIVE THIS EMAIL AND BE ABLE TO POST IT HERE.  I have been trying to educate the public regarding the owning of the teacup pup for the last twenty years.   I am not only referring to the size YVETTE  refers to above but the REAL DEAL GENUINE HEALTHY TEACUP pup and dog that the majority of folks have not seen in real life.   An adult dog of anything in weight from 550gms and up.

Most breeders  have never bred one or owned one.  There are certain DO's and DONT's one adheres to when owning this size of pup. it is not for everyone.  This size of pup out there has a very bad  reputation as a result of people buying them that dont know how to handle them, being sold them by breeders that have no idea how to handle them or raise them, hence the reason i am inundated with SAD STORIES regarding what went down when 

small pups were purchased by the public who did not realise what it took to raise a tiny sized pup, thr huge responsibiity it is.

If you are looking to own or purchase a very small sized pups do the research on what can go wrong and how quick it can go wrong.

We only sell or add people to our waiting list we feel are suited to own this dog.  

• firstly what is most important is BUYING a proper healthy pup and not an underaged pup or sickly pup
• once you have the real deal, knowing how to handle it
• so many people dont realise what goes into owning a tiny 

THE PROPER TINY PUP SHOULD NOT LEAVE ITS BREEDER FOR AT LEAST THREE MONTHS IF NOT FOUR MONTHS, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE TEACUP

i could and i may very well add some emails from the public on what they have been through TRYING to buy the teacup pup.  The vet bills incurred, the loss of a precious life anything from day one to three weeks later....  

 

Teacups pups are not for children, teenagers or students

Owned the GENUINE teacup dog for the last thirty plus years, no overnight sensation,

and no figment of the imagination either

WE 'R' THE TEACUP YORKIE

LIVE FOR TWELVE TO FOURTEEN YEARS WITH NO HEALTH ISSUES

HOWEVER THIS IS IF THEY ARE IN THE RIGHT HANDS TO BEGIN WITH,

VERY FEW PEOPLE FIT THE BILL TO OWN A GENUINE TEACUP

THEY ARE NOT FASHION STATEMENTS OR COOL TO OWN

THIS IS A LIFE...

 

 

 

 

We are in the process of redoing this website thank you for your patience.

 

 

The URGE to own that very TINY sized dog…   18 September 2018

 

I believe very few people totally understand how these small sized dogs are born, bred etc.  Most people think they are out there by the dozens, a good few to choose from and that could not  be further from the truth, HEALTHY SMALL SIZED dogs are not the NORM, never have been the norm and I doubt ever will be the norm. HOWEVER, THEY DO EXIST.

You get the odd breeder who does the strangest things to produce these tinies, without taking into consideration the strange stuff they do will impact on the overall health of the pups they produce. Something like INTERBREEDING,  Mother to son, Father to daughter and so it continues, producing pups and dogs with major health issues, the new owner has to contend with the majority of that pup/dog’s life which in most cases is not very long, SHORT LIVED dogs.

Producing small sized dogs as nature intended is what most dog owners would want and it can and does happen. 

I am going to include a mail I received only this morning from a member of the public which is the NORM out there.  Often when someone contacts me saying they want another small sized dog, they have one, I immediately ask them why not go back to the breeder you got your baby (which is now an adult dog) from??? The story is almost always the same, it has been the ONLY one they have ever produced or at the time they sold it to me, I bought it we had no idea it would turn out to be small and that too happens to me.  There are no golden rules, GROWTH charts, well those are not the best way to gauge any future adult mass of any pup, unless, the pup is born at a certain weight, and sticks within the weight limits every single week however, this alone is not GUARANTEED, the pup must be disease free, no internal parasites at all eg. worms, must eat properly from the get go and be fed properly. This story of they only drink form the mother till they are UMPTEEN weeks of age, is HOGWASH.

I have even had the public come to me advising me that they bought a pup that has been bottle fed, the breeder guarantees it is tiny. ANYONE buying a pup that needs to be bottle fed is crazy.  The mere fact it has to be fed tells one very big story, one I would keep well away from.  No matter how tiny any pup is it should eat and eat very well and the tinier the pup, the more frequent that pup should eat and that would be around the clock.

Anyone buys a pup and is told feed twice or three times daily this is NO SMALL future adult weight dog.

I am also inundated with the public advising me of a pup they can buy from someone out there, pup weighed x at birth now weighs Y what do I think? Firstly I cannot comment on anyone else’s pup.  So much goes into the raising of a pup from birth.

• How many pups in the litter?
• Did the pup get a fair share of mother’s milk?
• At what age did this pup begin to eat?
• Any set-backs of any kind this pup experienced? If so that alone will impact on the overall indication of the pup’s future adult weight.

We produce pups from NORMAL weight adult females and smaller males but not mice sized males, as those are not suited to any form of breeding.

We get pups that from day one are born at a certain weight, every single week from birth reach the goal weight, they reach all goals, we expect them to reach as a certain sized pup for a future certain sized, adult weight dog.

You do get the exception where the pup is born at a pretty high weight, as it goes along the dogs weekly expected weight gain drops significantly but selling a pup like this to the public is questionable as it may decide to have a growth spurt along the way and end up more to the indicated adult weight at birth,  than the going along week by week process.  So it is first and foremost very important to go with a breeder who does have some insight into the smaller sized dogs, don’t go on “hearsay either”, they should be able to show you what they breed, etc,  not necessarily their own dogs, but the people out there who own their dogs.

You must be able to trust the breeder of your choice,  we all make mistakes this is a process that is not easy by any stretch of the imagination,  but over the years you learn more and more.

NO really small sized pup should be leaving the breeder at 8 weeks of age. Many years back we used to do that when the new owner was pushy etc, however we have not sold tinies in years at that age.  OUR genuine teacups leave us at FOUR MONTHS of age.  Fully inoculated, health guarantees, microchipped, registration to follow etc. Sold strictly on a spay/neuter contract. Every pup of ours irrespective of the size will be sold as a PET on a contract. We have never sold the first pup for any form of breeding ever.

Every single pup we have bred for the best part of the last twenty plus years leaves here MICRO CHIPPED. This way that pup and ultimate adult dog will be identifiable.

We only sell our pups as PETS, not for any form of breeding. We will only see a GENUINE teacup pup to a qualified buyer.

Looking to purchase a proper SMALL sized pup takes time, we do not breed by the dozen, we do however pride ourselves in what we do breed and sell are guaranteed to be fully socialised, NO CAGE breeding, guaranteed to have an exceptional temperament, are quality, well cared for babies you can adopt and enjoy for many years to come.  If you want a small sized dog as in YESTERDAY don’t contact me, I will not be able to assist you. 

This is a specialised size dog small sizes are not the norm so be patient if this is what you are looking for.

Hi there,

 

My name is Chanel.

I hope you are doing well?

I am sorry to have email you so late in the evening.

I have two little babies Milo and Cooper, Milo is very tiny and got him 7 years back Cooper i just received a few months after.

Cooper was supposed to be the same small little guy and he got bigger not that i mind he stays my little boy. 

I have been looking like crazy for another small baby like Milo, and Sunday at the shops i found someone with a little girl just like my milo and she was such a beauty and lovable. I then asked the question, where did you guys find her and she came from you guys.

So this is me, emailing for info regarding your babies. 

I have been looking for a while so i can wait.

I may not like it but hey like i said i have been waiting.

I was about to buy a baby that weighs now 445g on 7 weeks not sure how the weight thing works. 

I bought  Milo and Cooper and got lucky i guess with Milo.

Anyway talking too much, and can’t wait for your response.

Oh and on the note, i attached some photos. And yes that’s them on holiday as if they can’t go witb then i just won’t go.

Chanelle.

Good morning.

Hope you are well. I would like to find out if you have any teacup pups available for purchase.  If not how do I go about ordering a pup from you. 

I have been pining around and been told some stories that concern me. Stuff like all small sized yorkies don’t live long, they are nothing but trouble, ill health all the time.

I got your contact details from someone a good few years ago but at that time I was not in a position to own a really small dog, however now I am.

If you cannot help me can you advise me of other breeders,  or can you tell me what I look out for, as I know someone who worked with me a couple of years back who has five yorkies, every time she buys one she is told it is a teacup or small pocket and they are all BIG dogs.  I don’t want that experience,  I live in a town house she is in a house, I cannot afford to make the mistake of buying dogs in numbers hoping I get that very small one I have wanted for so long.

Please I am one of many wanting to own a small sized yorkie, can you possibly not share on your website what we should be looking out for. I don’t want to risk buying BIG. I can only own one dog and it has to be the right small size. 

Please come back to me at your earliest convenience.

 

Warm regards

Katie

 

 

UPDATE

AUGUST 11  2019

I am going to add some mails I have received in recent times, all about buying TINIES 

However.  if you are told that it is the norm to have issues with the teacup or small sized dog -  THINK LONG AND HARD - TOTAL NONSENSE.

A properly bred tiny pup that is meant to be tiny from the get-go and BRED CORRECTLY and that is the most important thing of all, that they are bred correctly as Nature intended, not manipulated by a breeder to be produced as this is where the issues arise. Breeders who repeatedly INTERBREED their dogs to obtain TINIES to sell to the public, and then the public land in the soup.

The issue with interbreeding is as follows - any bad traits or health issues in a particular dog are doubled up on when INTERBRED, mother to son, daughter to Father quite sickening actually.  over many years i have met members of the public who tell me so and so breeds these and they are all interbred resulting in them being WEAK, SICKLY pups and dogs and if they reach the DOG stage as most live very short lives. they tell ME this is normal for the tinies, i can tell them itmost certainly is not normal for the tinies at all. I have had genuine teacups live 12 and 14 years with no ill health. however my tinies are bred properly.

if i lived another two lifetimes i could never supply the demand i get for my pups. if you are impatient dont come to me, i cannot supply a dog of this sort of size as in yesterday.  I have waiting lists. i get referrals and repeat business all the time.

Recently i got to chat with a couple who bought a yorkie pup that was missing a dens, never born with a dens. NOW ON MY WAITING LIST.  They told me i had never heard of a DENS i actually had to look that up on the internet.  IT is a part of the neck.  They purchased this pup and in excess of forty thousand rand later in vet bills, a SPECIALIST realised what the issue was.  The reason for this INTERBREEDING de luxe.  There are not too many people out there prepared to spend ths type of money or even could spend this type of money if they wanted to, to try and HELP a pup they purchased as a teacup size dog.  ANYONE wanting the details of these folk are welcome to contact me. 

Years back i had another member of the public wanting a pup from me that would reach 1.2kg in weight.  She then cancelled as had been offered one by a reasonably well known breeder.  The pup would be 1.2kg as adult.  She was over the moon with excitement.  However she applied REVOLUTION to the pup which is quite normal,  some folk use it as a preventative measure against ticks and fleas.  The pup had a bad reaction.   

She ended up going back to the manufacturers and giving them a piece of her mind after this happened a second time to her with this pup.  They wrote back to her and as she had CC'd me in on the mail, i got the reply as well. I have known this lady for a good many years, the reason she told me about this pup and what was going on.  They replied the manufacturers that is, saying to the owner, chances were good the dog had a liver issue,  to have that checked out.  Well of course owner did not believe that for a second. However in time she came to realise this pup had ISSUES.  Extensive testing later the pup was diagnosed of having a liver shunt.  So began the struggle that lasted a couple of years when eventually the dog lost her life to living with LIVER SHUNT.

She went back to the breeder and was told to stop harassing her as she was pregnant.!!!!!!!!!!!!!  R250 000-00 odd later the dog passed away, this particular owner had done everythign possible to save this girl and just by the way the supposed 1.2kg adult weight dog was a 2,5kg adult dog. i too can put you in touch with this lady if you would like to chat with her.  READ UP INFO ON LIVER SHUNT FURTHER DOWN.

Since that time she has purchased two dogs from me and her son a dog of mine. If she had purchased a pup from myself that was diagnosed with liver shunt i would have done somethigng about it and not pushed it aside. ALL OUR PUPS  CARRY HEALTH GUARANTEES for the first year of their lives. ALL OUR PUPS.

In recent times i have heard of one breeder advising a member of the public not to TOUCH a teacup dog. This breeder has a rather short memory as some 12 or so years ago maybe thirteen or so,  she sold someone i knew a TEACUP pup that was no teacup sized pup at all. She even sent the mother dog home with the pup to the new owner??? My dogs would not be too happy if i did that to them.  HELLO does this sound familiar to you???

Another BREEDER who has been around forever sold me a TEACUP pup some 25 years back.  I had to sign on the dotted line if anythign was wrong with that pup that i would have no recourse to her.  Well the pup was not even inoculated, this is yet again another BREEDER who today mouths off about how bad teacup pups are, HELLO are you reading this, remember the thousands i paid you for a PUP WITH NO SKULL.   I took her to the vet to be incoulated, at which time the vet pointed out to me the pup had NO SKULL.  NO point in immunising her she could not live end of story,.  Trust me fascinated me to read how TODAY she goes off about teacup dogs. i should in fact phone her up and remind her of the THOUSANDS i paid that day for a pup that could not live.

Large open fontanels BEWARE however this poor baby did not even have a skull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  You purcahse a pup with a large open gontanel your dog is in danger ....

PLEASE be aware, you as an owner of a tiny must know what you are doing in the first place.  A proper tiny is not for most people,  i say proper as if you buy underaged pups fobbed off as teacups,  this wont end well, this is yet another thing that not you or any vet can do the first thing about. in 99% of instances this pup is not long for this world.

Years back a lady came to me for a teacup pup. she had one that lasted five years but always at a vet. she then bought another that lasted five minutes. She then joined a waiting list with me - however in that time just before i had a baby for her she purchased one from a breeder. Phoned me to tell me,  so my immediate reqaction was congratulations, so you want to cancell with me?  NO came the reply as i dont believe this pup is going to make it.  So she said she would be in touch.  Some days later at the vet every day sometimes twice a day, i got the call, pup had passed away.  ???  i could not quite believe my ears. the pup was diagnosed as being far younger than she was led to believe.

This was not an isolated case.  i got to hear of three such cases from buyers in the JOBURG area around the same time.  Since that time she has had a teacup of mine, is now in ENGLAND and the teacup is 3 years and six months of age WITH NO HEALTH ISSUES whatsoever.

IF anything goes wrong with a baby we sell no matter the size of the pup, we want a full body autopsy done at a LABORATORY not from a vet, a LABORATORY so we know exactly what went down.  so if anything happens to a pup of yours do the same. IF you have proof of the pup being born with a serious health condition your breeder should step up to the plate. HOWEVER i have learnt over many years not to hold my breath when it comes to this as most WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU OR THEIR DEAD OR SICK PUP.  It has happened to me a few times with BREEDERS and happened to a good few hundred members of the public who contacted me over a good many years.  

A healthy tiny that has been bred and raised correctly is not cheap but look at the alternative, you can pay R8 000-00 for a pup that is sold as a teacup that is not bred correctly, not raised correctly costs the new owner twenty to thirty thousand in vet bills and then it dies, what is cheap about that?  i get it often, i have lost the pup all my money??? What has that got to do with me? i can sympathise and i do and i am happy to chat with people who have been conned, abused emotionally destroyed when trying to buy a teacup pup. MORE than happy to chat with them but i did not bring this on them.  I try and warn so many people but they are in a rush...

i get told all the sad stories and i can sympathise but it strangely enough is the same offenders who pop up time and time again having sold SICKLY or underaged pups to the public.

One NOW client of mine, purchased a TEACUP pup from Port Elizabeth it was flown to Durban not well three weeks later it was dead thirty thousand rand vet bill later.  Vet believed the dog to have had a liver shunt.  I asked the owner why did they not send the entire body into the laboratory then they would have known, no point, breeder firstly chatted then was VERY OFF, then BLOCKED them???????????    Firstly NO genuine teacup pup could fly at under eight weeks of age as it would be very tiny.  However this pup was flown at under 8 weeks of age because of convenience sake from the sellers side???? I can give you details of this unfortunate person as well.

It is all well and good to blame the breeder and in some cases they are in the wrong but in a lot of cases the owner did not do right by the pup. NOT for any other reason than they did not know,  what it took to raise that pup.  However it does not matter how good a vet is or how good you are with a pup if you sit with a small sickly pup or very underaged pup the best of us, will not save that life.

 

The story is as such: 

according to some out there

You buy a small sized pup you  must know they are short lived, have issues, etc. TOTAL nonsense. the only time a small sized pup is going to have issues is when it is not bred properly, is underaged to what it was sold as, or the new owner has not got the foggiest idea how to handle the pup.

There are certain things that will kill a pup if not sorted in record time which has nothing whatsoever to do with the breeder but the new owner. We enlighten all our prospective buyers on what it takes to raise a proper tiny pup and most will back off from buying one, while others are hell bent on owning a mouse of a pup even if they dont have the ability, the lifestyle  to raise it properly.  So often it is what the future owners wants, how cool it is to have this mouse of a dog or pup in your hand.  They dont take into consideration what it takes to raise that mouse of a pup.  Some 15 years back i listened to people who claimed they knew it all, NO MORE.   Seven years ago i sold a real tiny to folk who were clients of my vet at that time.  They had somethign like 6 yorkies one of which was mine but a bigger dog, their smallest they owned,  but never sold as a teacup. Once they saw my teacups they had to have one. They had it less than a day when i took it back,they had let the pup lose so much body temperature OUR vet, both theirs and mine advised me i would never turn the pup around it was giong to die.HOWEVER THIS VERY SAME PUP GOT A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH FROM OUR VET THE PREVIOUS DAY.  Some 8 days later after i gave my all to try and save this pup it passed on. i am still waiting for these people to pay the vet bills as they promised to. I took that pup daily to the vet for both their and my sake and the pups sake. Autopsy cleared the pup as being totally healthy.  WRONG OWNERS. My vet being their vet asked me what possessed me to sell them such a small pup??? They would never cope and CLEARLY THEY DID NOT COPE.

There is way much more to buying a small pup and owning one, way much more, if you dont know what you are doing, dont sitck to the rules you in all probabilty will lose that pup.  

I monitor GENUINE healthy teacup pups here around the clock that is the NORM.  if you dont get told to feed your pup throughout the night or you can leave your pup unattended throughout the night, one of two things is the case, your pups is NO TEACUP sized pup or if it is,   you may awake to a dead pup.

I speak from experience having owned my first teacup YORKSHIRE TERRIER at the age of 21 and i am now a Granny.

Over the years when i have met up with breeders, they have said they breed small but my dogs give new meaning to the word small.  Last week i was asked by a member of the public to please put it out there - TO WARN THE PUBLIC OF THE PITFALLS OF OWNING A TINY DOG THAT IS NOT BRED PROPERLY.  sold off as teacup but far younger. In fact another person phoned me telling me she had jus seen one that the breeder claimed was seven weeks of age and she beleived it not to be a day older than 4 weeks of age.???  

 

TO BE CONTINUED.....

 

 

ARTICLE OF THE MONTH:  I AM POSTING THIS AGAIN AS REQUESTED BY A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC. WROTE THIS A GOOD FEW YEARS BACK.

Ringworm –

Worm infestation??? Or fungal infection????

 

This article has been written in an attempt to help folk who have no knowledge or experience with this problem. We are not vets and therefore you should consider this article as written by a layman with experience on hand. AT no stage should you not consider seeing your Vet if you are unsure of your diagnosis and treatment.

 

If you have never seen ringworm or had an animal infected or been infected yourself LUCKY YOU………

 

Ringworm as so often thought – is NO worm infestation  BUT a fungal infection of the skin. NOT the easiest to get rid of, and highly contagious to young, sickly and the old. ????????

 

I have always had a very healthy respect for ringworm, knowing full well what can happen if left untreated and again left for any length of time.

It spells one thing DISASTER……

 

The first time I heard the word RINGWORM  I was a youngster and at the time we owned a Boxer dog, who we put into a boarding kennel when we went on our holiday. On our return the boxer was sporting a lovely ringworm on her chest. MY Dad said washing blue would solve the problem and it did. Ricketts washing blue – cubed still available today. Moisten and apply regularly. The ringworm will be killed and disappear and the hair will in time grow back. (Old wives tail -? Not in this case – it does work)

 

What IS RINGWORM:  a fungus that attacks the skin – fine - In an animal the animal irrespective of specie the fur comes out in a circle. This circle can be perfectly clear it can be very crusty in appearance. Each and every hair follicle that the animal looses carries spores – fungal spores. These in turn will infect the same animal, other animals, humans and can be dropped in places and remain for years to come, and be contagious for a lengthy period of time – years in fact.

 

I was a cat breeder for many years and RINGWORM to me was Bad NEWS.

You have multiple animals and if you are not aware of the problem when you look again it has spread, and trust me no fun.

 

I will explain to you how to treat ringworm in a once off case, how to treat ringworm if you have multiple animals infected and so forth.

 

SADLY numerous breeders of both pedigreed dogs and cats sit with this problem, some for years and years. They do nothing about it, because at this stage it is totally out of control , will cost a fortune to treat and is also very time consuming to treat correctly and a daily chore. NO rush job when it comes to major ringworm infection.

 

I have in the past been unfortunate to pick it up on the very odd occasion but irradicate it as quick as it has been diagnosed. I had the misfortune of Persian cats getting it on the odd occasion when I bred and showed cats some years back. I also know what it took for me to eradicate the problem when I picked it up once from a cat show, and then unknowingly groomed some 40 odd Persians on a weekly basis. HELLO all of a sudden I had a problem.

 

I attach an article I wrote for another website sometime back when a few yorkie breeders who have vast quantities of dogs, hit a problem. HOWEVER, I heard months later – they still had the problem – as I said big bucks to sort and hard, hard work, NO quick cure. To sell animals be it cats, dogs Yorkies whatever, knowing full well you have a ringworm problem in your kennel/cattery is criminal – especially with it being highly contagious to humans and other animals, This sadly persists even today with some breeders out there, who knowingly have the problem.

 

IF you see ringworm on your pet/s?

Do not rush out and buy an anti-fungal shampoo and bath everything in site – bad move.

By all means rush out and buy an anti-fungal shampoo, use it on the lesions only- do not dilute, rub it into the lesion and leave it on. Do it repeatedly, two to three times daily. Wash your own hands thoroughly as well. Never touch anything after handling an infected animal without washing your hands.

Halt all grooming of your animals and bathing especially – you think you are doing the right thing but you are more than likely spreading the problem. Remember to keep an eye out, if you are treating one lesion that does not mean new one’s will not appear. If the animal uses a paw to scratch the infected area – good idea to rub the anti-fungal shampoo on that paw.

 

Diagnosing ringworm. Your vet has an ultraviolet lamp which in most cases will flures ringworm BUT not in all types of ringworm.  Your vet will supply you with cream to apply topically and in some cases – a course of tablets.

 

If your pet has lost fur and it appears in a circle, pull the outer edge of the fur, if it comes out, chances are it is ringworm. You can also check this once you have been treating your pet as mentioned above -  a few days later. IF the fungus has died the hair will no longer pull out. IF it goes untreated the ringworm will get bigger and bigger in size. Everytime the cat/dog looses fur each and every hair has spores attached to it, and will continue to infect the same animal and possibly you and your family.

 

Tiles – clean daily with a bleach formula – strong if possible. Be careful not to bleach furniture, clothing etc. Wash clothing regulary. HEAT destroys the spores, damp and wet cause them to multiply. Make use of your tumble dryer. Put it on its hottest setting and use to disinfect dry clothes, bedding etc, the heat will destroy the spores if around. You need only do this for a couple of minutes at a time. REMEMBER to clean all areas and surfaces as – spores can sit around. Clean thoroughly especially where the pet has been sleeping and sitting. Wash and put out to dry in the sun. If it is not completely dry – dry in the tumble dryer.

 

If you have a ringworm problem in your home:

Good idea to treat everything as contaminated and begin a daily clean up. Hard work but sorts the problem. No point in medicating and treating ringworm if the cause is still left lying about to reinfect.

 

If detected early – sorted early – if left unchecked - ?????????????  ask the Breeders who have been infected for how many years now????????

 

Commonly told to the public.

Ringworm affects all new born animals – false

It is easily cured – can be.

It is picked up from sand – can be

 

Places most commonly found in young pups and kittens around the mouth and the eyes, the front paws from being used to suckle.

 

Carriers of ringworm – so often over the years I have been told the mother is a carrier --??????????? That is debatable – I took over some cats years ago – from a cattery that’s partner had ringworm, problems and at that for years. The cats could not be treated on a six week course as the norm but were treated in some instances for a three month period. Once we had done all the treatments on the cats from that Cattery – no ringworm ever appeared again.

 

You will win -  keep on top of the problem – never let it get the better of you, in  your household or animals otherwise you will sit with a major problem.

 

IF you are still unsure of how to treat ringworm – if you have ringworm? Consult your vet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two other MIJOY kids resident in the CAPE thank you for the pics theses two YORKIES are now 7 years of age

 

BREEDERS OF ALL SIZES OF YORKSHIRE TERRIER AND BIEWER TERRIER

HOWEVER WE RARELY HAVE THE STANDARD SIZE PUPS WHICH ARE THE REAL BIG KIDS

 

*ALL OUR PUPS ARE SOLD WITH HEALTH GUARANTEES, * PUPS THAT WILL REACH A WEIGHT OF AROUND 1.4KG AS ADULT AND ABOVE, WILL LEAVE US HAVING HAD TWO INOCULATIONS.  ( THE REASON FOR THIS IS SIMPLE)

Explanation: it is unknown as to when a puppy loses it immunity it inherits from its mother dog, it could be 5 weeks, it could be 6 weeks or possibly younger or older THIS IS UNKNOWN,  pups in general are immunised at 6 weeks of age by the vet,  HOWEVER if this is done and the pup still has immunity from its mother in its body, the mothers immunity the baby carries will counteract the inoculation given which MAY result in the pup being unprotected until the next inoculation.  This is the reason when the odd pup is sold and develops PARVO or DISTEMPER in all probability this has resulted from the above.

If a  pup has been in contact with either of these diseases prior to being inoculated the pup in all probability will go down with these diseases and it will be both costly at a vet to treat and one risks the possibility of the pup passing from either of these diseases. if a pup has been in contact with either disease it is best to wait for the WINDOW period to pass before immunising the pup or if it is developing the disease and has the inoculation for the disease the pup is in fact sitting wiht a double dose which may be more difficult to overcome.

HENCE ALL OUR BIGGER PUPS THAT WE EXPECT TO REACH 1.4KG AND ABOVE, LEAVE US HAVING HAD TWO INOCULATIONS. THEY LEAVE HERE AT TEN WEEKS OF AGE.

SMALLER SIZED PUPS AS IN SMALL POCKETS WHICH TO US AS BREEDERS ARE DOGS OF AROUND 1.2KG AS ADULT, WILL BE FULLY INOCULATED PRIOR TO LEAVING US, THAT IS THREE INOCULATIONS PLUS RABIES.  THIS SIZE OF PUP LEAVES US AT 3 MONTHS OF AGE.

All our pups are micro chipped, sold with a contract sterilisation not negotiable.  They will carry health guarantees.

Breeder vs Breeder….

Good day

Three complaints by the public about being scammed and being scammed by breeders as well…. Last two days, OUCH….

I have decided to write this info down and put it on my website, to try and assist the public in choosing a BREEDER worth choosing.

• Breeders who run their mouths off about other breeders – if this happens it should be a red flashing warning light to you.
• Breeders who have to resort to this sort of behaviour to make sales bad mouthing everyone else, BE AWARE. Conduct such as this is in VERY BAD TASTE,
• If you are after a small sized pup first and foremost make sure you know all about that size of pup and don’t mouth off about them being so readily available when they are NOT, that just proves that you are not too enlightened and neither is the breeder running their mouth either.
• If your BREEDER of choice tells stories about other BREEDERS they in fact know precisely nothing about at all,  HEAR SAY,  ask them if they don’t mind to give it you in writing. Also request in writing,  If they will sell you a puppy in FIVE MINUTES TIME  that will be solid built, robust, healthy, fully inoculated and a pup that at an adult weight will be 1.2kg and at an adult age NOT claiming dogs are adult at 6 months of age, and maybe they can throw in health guarantees for good measure same as we do. Registered with a recognised registery, a QUALITY pup at that.  If they don’t well then I need say no more and trust me THEY WON’T.

If however you know of such a breeder out there somewhere that produces healthy, robust, genuine tiny sized adult dogs, i am referring to genuine teacups that are a maximum weight of 1.1kg as a healthy well built ADULT dog, sells them registered with a recognised registry,  Sells them with health guarantees, someone who also produces these small sized pups on a reasonably regular basis has proof of that for a good few years as well,  by all means let me know as I have yet to find the first one in SOUTH AFRICA.

If you are in a rush to buy a TINY don’t come to me.  You will wait as this the teacup and small pocket dog are RARE that is when they are a proper, robust solid, built teacup and the small pocket being the same. A long legged dog that is a bag of bones is not a teacup,  even if it weighs next to nothing. Make sure when weighing your dog your scale is accurate as so many dogs claiming to be of teacup weight are nowhere near teacup weight.

If you have no idea what a proper teacup or small pocket dog actually is do some research before you start shopping around. So you in fact do know the odds and the realistic expectations you should have regarding, purchasing a healthy, real tiny sized pup. Proper healthy tinies are rare and hard to find.

I don’t bad mouth the first breeder NEVER have and never will. It is first and foremost totally unprofessional. I could,  but I don’t and I hear so many complaints from the public and strangely enough it is very often the same offenders, causing issues to the public.

IF you have any issues with a breeder go back to them before you start mouthing off about them.  We will listen to you, however be honest don’t invent stuff I don’t take to liars too kindly.

If you purchase a pup and it sadly passes on, have a full body autopsy done by a Laboratory not a vet,  let the breeder prove to you the pup you purchased from them was indeed a healthy one. IF NOT ???? Next time around buy wisely insist on health guarantees.  THIS IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE WHEN PURCHASNG THE TINY SIZES.  

• They are not sickly if bred correctly and placed in the right owners hands.
• THEY ARE HOWEVER HANDS ON TO RAISE THE REASON OURS LEAVE US 4 MONTHS FOR TEACUPS AND 3 MONTHS FOR SMALL POCKETS AND NOT AT 8 WEEKS OF AGE.

ONCE again as I have said millions of times a genuine tiny sized pup is not suited to the majority of the public.

Thank you for your time.  Once again beware of scams as well as scammers out there and most of all breeders who sell sick pups, underaged pups and elephant sized pups as teacups and small pocket dogs AS THEY are the SCAMMERS themselves.

 

DON'T BUY ANY PUP YOU FEEL SORRY FOR, DONT BUY A PUP YOU FEEL IS UNWELL; UNLESS YOU HAVE IT IN WRITING FROM THE BREEDER CONCERNED, that  YOU WILL HAVE IT SEEN TO BY YOUR VET AND IF HE/SHE FINDS IT UNWELL, YOU WILL EXPECT TO BE REFUNDED IN FULL. DONT PURCHASE A PUP THAT IS DIRTY, FULL OF FLEAS ETC, THAT ALONE IS A RED FLASHING WARNING LIGHT, CHANCES ARE GOOD IF THE PUP, HAS OBVIOUS EXTERNAL PARASITES IT HAS INTERNAL PARASITES AS WELL.  

 

 

SCAMS  be cautious…………

I mentioned scams a very long time ago on this website, but they are still very much out there.

Only yesterday I came to hear of yet another person being scammed when they replied to an advert regarding a teacup yorkie puppy.

The story was as follows put down R5 000-00 all good, then the courier would be a further R9 000-00?????  This was from Kimberley to Gauteng. GEE whiskers some cost for a courier.

PUBLIC PLEASE BE AWARE,  THE WORD TEACUP IS ATTACHED TO SO MANY ADVERTS, THE REASON BEING FOR YOU TO BE SUCKED IN TO BUYING A SUPPOSED TEACUP SIZED PUP, easy sale, lovely sales pitch.

First and foremost the genuine teacup pup is not R2 000-00, R5 000-00 or even R8 000-00 but considerably more. Reason being a teacup pup is a very hands on pup to raise and that would include from the get-go with the breeder.  My teacup dogs are here for 4 MONTHS.  They are monitored around the clock from the day they are born.

So be wise, don’t fall for any stories about a teacup being R6 000-00 or whatever as that is not a teacup dog you are paying for but a far larger pup, alternatively could be an undernourished sickly pup, an underaged pups, it sad to say happens out there.

NO teacup pup will leave its breeder at 8 weeks of age, if the breeder is a professional breeder, the pup will remain with the breeder for weeks to come.

NO teacup pup flies from one part of SA to another at 8 weeks of age either, way too tiny and if it does fly, you can be guaranteed it once again is no teacup sized pup but a bigger pup. A genuine teacup pup at 8 weeks is so tiny that it would risk being thrown about if it was indeed sent in the cargo of any airliner.  So don’t fall for that one either.

My teacups at 4 mnths of age I refuse to fly in the cargo section of a plane. WAY TOO RISKY AND WAY TOO DANGEROUS.

I hear about all the issues every other day from the public because the public want to be able to trust and believe in whoever they are buying from.  Very few out there,  you can honestly trust in this day and age.

UNDERAGED pups, sickly pups, you name it,  OFTEN  fobbed off as teacup size. Pups riddled with internal and external parasites, once sorted by a vet grow like weeds.

Most PERSONS are not teacup owner material, huge responsibility, total dedication to own and raise the proper GENUINE tiny.  Don’t be sucked in, do your research.

First and foremost make sure you have the lifestyle to own a VERY TINY pup it is not something you buy on impulse, it is not something you want to own because you want it to be far smaller than your friends is.   At the end of the day, this is a life, If you purchase a teacup from me, be assured I have put in weeks and months of effort, love, you name it, in raising that tiny scrap of a pup. I expect the person buying it to have researched owning a mouse sized pup and dog.

Teacup dogs are like human babies, they are not a DOG as such.

So many people that contact me have no idea what a teacup dog actually is,  they just hear it in conversation amongst people. So they want one, their friends is 2kg I DON’T THINK SO SOMEHOW. IF that is the weight of the friends dog it is NO teacup dog. 

We only work with buyers for this size of dog we know are the right owners.  We only work with waiting lists, so NO teacup pup is ever sitting here waiting for an owner to drop on by.  They are reserved, sold, ordered long before they are in most cases even conceived. This is a RARE, very special size of pup.  IT does not come cheap.  OURS all carry health guarantees. They are chipped, sold on contract, they will be sterilised NO negotiating on that one.  They will be registered. They will leave here having had all their inoculations which is three inoculations plus their rabies,. Numerous dewormings etc.

I get umpteen enquiries and everyone wants one yesterday. SORRY that does not happen and I would think very long and hard in supplying someone who on the spur of the moment,  decided they just had to have a teacup pup. we do not supply any pup of any size, to any IMPULSE buyer.

 

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS:

• Breeding teacup dogs as in a pair of a mother teacup or father teacup NO SUCH THING. GENUINE teacups are way too small to sire or produce pups if you are told the mother is a teacup be advised your breeder is talking total NONSENSE.
• A litter of teacup pups
• Teacups in numbers at a breeder ???? Does not happen sorry...
• Teacups leaving the breeder at 8 weeks of age
• Teacups needing to be bottle fed
• Teacups needing to be syringe fed
• Teacups that reach 1.8kg at an adult weight - in my book this is in fact a large pocket sized dog

 

The worst of it all,  if you are indeed someone who ends up with an underaged, or sickly pup that needs your vet’s constant attention, chances are almost guaranteed that pup is going to pass away. Sad to say but true. I hear of it every other day. DON’T be the next victim. A

Don’t buy a pup you cannot do right by, buy a size of pups that suits you, and your family.  You will regret buying a really small pup if you don’t have the lifestyle or don’t give your all to raise that baby.  Chances are pretty good it will end in DISASTER.

My blood runs cold when I hear I WANT THE TINIEST TEACUP YOU CAN SUPPLY ME !!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning Joyce

Thank you for taking my call. It was a breath of fresh air chatting with you.  Discovering there are breeders who take BREEDING seriously who have a passion for what they do.

As I mentioned during our conversation.  I am one of three dog owners,  LOOKING for the ultimate tiny sized dog that we can take with us, on holiday, everywhere.  All three of us have been taken for some rather nice rides in the past.

One of my friends was scammed and I know that was stupid to even think a teacup dog was such a low price.

The other friend of mine has bought THREE dogs all were sold to her as being SMALL SIZES and not one is.

 It saddens us that this is the norm out there, that we are taken for ride upon ride and it has happened to me once, fortunately. MY tiny is all of 3kg and not a good quality dog at all. However we love her and would never dream of rehoming her and I do believe this is what some breeders bank on, a CLULESS buyer taking their word for it and buying a pup,  falling in love with it, although it is nothing remotely like you ordered from them or they told you it would be. 

I was lucky my husband would not hear of me LOOKING around for another,  especially when he knew how my two good friends had been taken, however I was over the moon recently when both my Hubby and I were on holiday and we met a lady carrying MY IDEAL DOG and she was more than happy to tell me her dog was from you as was her sisters TINY and not a seconds issue.  They got what they wanted and what they ordered.  NOW my HUBBY says I can go ahead and order my LONG WANTED TINY DOG.

The dog we have,  our tiny at 3kg sadly has to stay home with a babysitter as she is NOT small and we cannot take her with us wherever we go as was the plan in the first place.

 

Thank you for making my day.

Best regards

Lucy

TEACUP * TEACUP* TEACUP AND AGAIN TEACUP PUPS AND DOGS….. is this size of pup and adult dog for you??

Almost daily I get an enquiry for a teacup pup, sometimes four a day as happened this Monday past and I am not exactly sure why? MOST of the buyers contacting me are not aware of the size of a teacup to begin with? Why do they want one? Maybe because it is fashionable or it is COOL or it is what everyone else claims they own?

HOWEVER the latter part of claiming they own a teacup is questionable!!!!!  What is a teacup dog in the first place?

My take on this is the smallest dog possible and having said that GOOD HEALTH, long lived lives, healthy, happy lives – only seeing a vet for the norm, shots, sterilization and  dentals etc.

I hear a lot of very sad stories regarding people buying a TEACUP which has not been well since the day they got it, been in the vets for one to three weeks died and the vet bill is horrendous, they then have paid for a pup with NO HEALTH GUARANTEES of any kind, paid out a fortune to a vet to try save a life, the heartbreak, the emotional stress ?????????????? The financial strain.

BE CAUTIOUS where you buy a teacup pup from.  They are not the norm, they do exist, however if the breeding of them is manipulated by the breeder that is BAD NEWS. They should not be interbred neither should the parent dogs be very small dogs. If these rules are not applied or stuck to, these are the very pups that are never well, die at a young age. Often a week or three after you have taken delivery of them.

These are purely guide lines IF YOU ARE looking for the ultimate tiny dog and you have the lifestyle to own that size of pup and dog and by that I mean, you can put in the time it takes to give that tiny sized pup the love and attention it requires. This is not a pup you leave home and got to work or you put in the round the clock care, ONLY when it suits you. THIS IS A COMMITMENT YOU MAKE when you purchase this size of pup that you are in it for the long haul, you are there 24/7 and not when you feel like it. IF you cannot give your all don’t even be tempted to go that route of buying the genuine teacup.

A teacup dog in my book is an adult dog that can easily stand on a brick lengthwise with all fours.   It should not be at risk of falling off of that brick either.  It should be a solid short legged, short bodied, dog not a dog that is as light as a feather either. OURS we have bred are 550gms to 1.1kg AS AN ADULT DOG.

We have owned proper teacup dogs for the last 35 years.  We have produced them ourselves for the last twenty years. PUPS that if in the RIGHT HANDS will live very long,  happy,  healthy lives.  In the wrong hands the pup is simply not going to make it.

We sell every pup that leaves us with certain HEALTH GUARANTEES however that does not mean a buyer can do a slap dash job of caring for a mouse of a pup OR any size pup for that matter and fail and think I as the breeder will replace that pup.  IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE, SHOULD YOU FAIL.

WE GO all out to ensure every pup that leaves us is healthy, we give a total back up service to our clients, we do expect clients to be honest with us if they feel they want a mouse size of a dog.  IF for whatever reason a pup of ours passes away in the hands of the new owner, we will require a full body autopsy being done by a laboratory NOT a vet.   We play more than fair, we expect the owner to go all out to ensure they do right by the pup in hand.

IF HOWEVER you are not one to do what it takes, need to be out and about, partying it up etc THE TINIES are not suited to you. Consider your tiny pup to be a human baby and you won’t go far wrong. Treat it like a dog, the wheels will most certainly be wobbly and in most cases will come off.

HOWEVER I have a good few teacups out there – never having given their owner a seconds problem, because they are the right owner.

 

A teacup sized pup and adult dog is not a size of dog you find every day, far from it. Some breeders use the term teacup as a means of enticing buyers, some buyers to begin with,  have no idea what they should be looking for when enquiring about owning a teacup dog and they are told whatever they want to hear.   The first thing I ask the person enquiring about a teacup from me is what size do you expect that pup to be when an adult dog? Some have no idea, some will say I had no idea such small dogs exist, I have been told they are 1.8kg as adult, yes imagine that 1.8kg????

MOST teacup pups sold as teacup pups are NOT teacup pups in the first place. Most of those pups at young ages, a few weeks of age, already weigh what a teacup pup should weigh when it is months old.

A teacup dog is suited to very few people.   Consider the responsibility required, the work involved before rushing into buying a very small sized pup.  Do your homework, if the pup is not sold with health guarantees, insist you have a vet check it out before you go ahead with the transaction. We sell our pups with health guarantees, we always have.

IF a TEACUP??? Is being sent to you by plane at 8 weeks of age or there abouts, guaranteed it is NO TEACUP SIZED PUP but will end up considerably bigger as an adult.

PLEASE don’t come to me asking advice on a pup you have been offered by someone else. I don’t know the history to that pup, I don’t know the blood lines behind that pup, I know what goes down in my establishment NOT what goes down in other breeders establishments. There is far more to breeding a proper teacup  pup than breeding a small size pup.    IT rarely occurs that any small sized pup born is in fact a teacup pup. This is where most people get taken for a ride, it is the tiniest we have ever had and then when at the vet, it is discovered the pup is full of both external and internal parasites and once the vet has that sorted out the pup grows like crazy.

There is no breed standard for the sizing of teacups or pockets. However a teacup should be a very tiny, healthy adult dog that weighs a maximum of 1.1kg. We do have genuine teacups overseas.

Guinness World records  - To the best of my knowledge the smallest yorkie was 450gms as adult.  We have bred them as little as 550gms, dogs that have been healthy and lived for fourteen odd years. We do occasionally end up with this size of teacup HOWEVER we are cautious who that pup goes to. 

We don’t like carrots being dangled in front of our noses -  carrots are for rabbits. We are breeders whose top priority is to see that no matter what size of pup we sell,  it is the right size of pup, for the future owner.  The reason we ask the questions, it is nothing personal, it is in your best interests as well as those of the pups and MINE as the breeder that you are fully aware what it takes to raise a pup of whatever size it may be. 

We have been in this a very long time, it is not something you know in five or ten years but over many many years, experience, the reason we do what we do to ensure you get the TEACUP for example you have dreamed of owning.

A genuine teacup pup is not a cheap pup. OUR OWN LEAVE US AT FOUR MONTHS OF AGE having had all their shots plus rabies. Chipped, sterilization is not negotiable. A healthy pup operated on by a vet who is accustomed to working on small sized animals will be fine being sterilised. UNSTERILISED dogs are not healthy dog’s long term.  Every pup we have ever sold is sold strictly as a pet, not for any form of breeding, to sire or to have one litter, etc. SOLD STRICTLY AS A PET.

If you require any further information, need advice, email me and I will do my utmost to assist you if I possibly can  info@mijoy-yorkies.co.za

ALL our pups leave us fully socialized, guaranteed to have exceptional temperaments. Handled from birth NO KENNEL OR CAGE BREEDING at all.   NO teacup pup is ever here waiting for an owner they are sold strictly via a waiting list. There is no such thing as a TEACUP LITTER OF PUPS genuine teacup adults are not capable of breeding to begin with.   The majority of buyers are in fact impulse buyers, today they want a teacup yorkie,  tomorrow a chihuahua and next week a rottweiler.  We work with serious buyers who have done the research prepared to wait their turn for the ultimate dog. 

If you are urgent to purchase a pup,  we are not the right breeder for you, we never have pups in numbers waiting for buyers, we don’t believe in that, never have believed in it. We go all out for each and every pup born at MIJOY it is impossible to go to the lengths we go to for our pups,  if we have dozens at any time. 

All our pups are registered.  Chipped, sold on contract STERILISATION is not negotiable.  IF you have had a pup die on the table, very unfortunate situation to face however, there would be a reason for that, heart issue with pup? Vet not familiar with tiny sized pups? NO matter what the reason, do your research, find out if your vet is comfortable operating on a tiny dog, we have sterilized our own tinies  that have weighed 600 and 700gms without the first hitch.  Remember our dogs carry health guarantees.  We take responsibility for what we put on this earth.  We go the extra mile.  However if you don’t follow through – your problem not mine.  Every animal born deserves to end up in the right home with the right owner, we go to great lengths to ensure that happens.   THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

 

THIS INFORMATION MAY COME IN HANDY FOR THOSE WANTING THE ULTIMATE TINY DOG…. Should you hit a problem

Remember any tiny sized pup is a hands on pup, don’t think you let the wheels come off you can expect any vet, any 24 hours clinic to get the wheels back on, it rarely will happen. Once a tiny becomes hypoglycaemic which is a condition where the blood sugar drops, once that goes down, if not seen to in a short period of time NO vet is going to stop your pups from passing away, there is a point of no return with HYPOGYLCAEMIA. This is not a condition as such your pups was born with but the fact is has not eaten sufficiently in a period of time. LOW temperature is yet another reason your pup may not survive no matter how good your vet is. The minute a pup’s body temperature drops to any degree, it is at risk of dying.  The organs begin to fail. NO matter what that pup is going to pass away.

Over the years I have had the public come to me asking me to save their pup they bought from elsewhere they don’t want it to die. As I have mentioned above it is rather a tall order and something I will not get involved with. There is a VERY thin line when it comes to caring for a genuine tiny pup and often tiny pups sold off as teacup are in fact, underaged pups, or pups that have failed to thrive in the breeders establishment.

There is far more to breeding and raising a genuine teacup pup than meets the eye. It is an around the clock dedicated breeder,  to kick start the process.

Morning Joyce

I just want to thank you for your complete dedication to Yorkies, thank you for  Rosy...she is the most amazing little angel with so much personality and spunk.   She has leapt into our hearts and blended into our household as if she was always meant to be in our lives.

I’m so thankful that I have found you as a reputable breeder!

Will keep in touch with the progress of the little madam as we go along.

 

Have a wonderful week ahead

Much love

WHAT IS TARTAR? IS IT BAD FOR MY DOG?

Tartar is also known as dental calculus.

It consists of hardened bacteria. This hardened bacteria, or tartar, occurs when dental plaque gets stuck on your pet’s teeth and then comes in contact with their saliva.

 So what is tartar?

 

There are two types and one of them is more harmful than the other:

1. Tartar along the gum line

This type is called supragingival (above the gum) tartar.

It is often formed on the lingual surface of the mandibular anterior teeth – the outside of the large teeth in the upper jaw.

2. Tartar between the teeth and the gingiva

This kind of tartar is more harmful and is called subgingival (below the gum) tartar.

It thrives within the sulcus (gum pockets) between the teeth and the gingiva (gum).

 

Why is tartar bad for your pet?

If not taken care of at an early stage, tartar can lead to cavities and periodontitis (also known as gum disease and pyorrhea). These are a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the gum. Tartar could discolour the teeth and lead to bad breath.

 

Fact: Once plaque hardens and forms as tartar, it’s impossible to remove with just tooth brushing.

 

How do I spot tartar?

Initially, tartar is hard to spot.  It appears grainy and porous and usually has a chalk-like white colour. As it starts to harden, tartar turns darker in colour, usually in shades of yellow and brown.

Tartar is easy to spot above the gum, but not if it’s located below the gum.  Then it might be too late when you find out about the rock-hard layer of bacteria in your pet’s mouth.

 

How do I prevent tartar?

Now that you know what tartar is, how do you get rid of it? It is impossible to remove tartar by yourself just by brushing your pet’s teeth – it is stuck onto the teeth like concrete after all.

A veterinarian can remove tartar with professional techniques such as scaling.

But you can be your pet’s hero too.  You can prevent tartar from building in the first place!  Simply brushing your pet’s teeth every day will most certainly help.

There is also another measure against tartar that not everyone knows about. 

 

PLAQUEOFF™ FOR ANIMALS

VOHC accepted, ProDen PlaqueOff Animal does not rely on topical application or friction. The product is ingested and works systemically.

 

The natural compound in the product comes out through the saliva and works to break down the bacterial biofilm that forms on the teeth and gums. This is how the natural bacteria in the mouth take hold onto the teeth and gums, colonizing and creating the oral problems of plaque and tartar, bad breathe and gingivitis. It does not change the pH of the mouth or kill off the normal levels of bacteria.

ProDen PlaqueOff has been proven to reduce plaque and tartar on the teeth and gums, depending on composition, diet and how long it has been there. It then works to prevent bad breath, plaque and tartar from returning.

Patients generally begin to see results over a 2-8 week period, and will see further benefits with continued use.

 

 

 

The URGE to own that very TINY sized dog…   18 September 2018

I believe very few people totally understand how these small sized dogs are born, bred etc.  Most people think they are out there by the dozens, a good few to choose from and that could not  be further from the truth, HEALTHY SMALL SIZED dogs are not the NORM, never have been the norm and I doubt ever will be the norm. HOWEVER, THEY DO EXIST.

i find some people feel if they have owned a hamster, no different from owning a small sized dog, COULD NOT be further from the truth.  A hamster for one is meant to be the size it is NO dog is meant to be TINY.

You get the odd breeder who does the strangest things to produce these tinies, without taking into consideration the strange stuff, they do will impact on the overall health of the pups they produce. Something like INTERBREEDING,  Mother to son, Father to daughter and so it continues, producing pups and dogs with major health issues, the new owner has to contend with the majority of that pup/dog’s life which in most cases is not very long, SHORT LIVED dogs.

Producing small sized dogs as nature intended is what most dog owners would want and it can and does happen. 

I am going to include a mail I received only this morning from a member of the public which is the NORM out there.  Often when someone contacts me saying they want another small sized dog, they have one, I immediately ask them why not go back to the breeder you got your baby (which is now an adult dog) from??? The story is almost always the same, it has been the ONLY one they have ever produced or at the time they sold it to me, I bought it we had no idea it would turn out to be small and that too happens to me.  There are no golden rules, GROWTH charts, well those are not the best way to gauge any future adult mass of any pup, unless, the pup is born at a certain weight, and sticks within the weight limits every single week however, this alone is not GUARANTEED, the pup must be disease free, no internal parasites at all eg. worms, must eat properly from the get go and be fed properly. This story of they only drink form the mother till they are UMPTEEN weeks of age, is HOGWASH.

I have even had the public come to me advising me that they bought a pup that has been bottle fed, the breeder guarantees it is tiny. ANYONE buying a pup that needs to be bottle fed is crazy.  The mere fact it has to be fed tells one very big story, one I would keep well away from.  No matter how tiny any pup is it should eat and eat very well and the tinier the pup, the more frequent that pup should eat and that would be around the clock.

Anyone buys a pup and is told feed twice or three times daily this is NO SMALL future adult weight dog.

I am also inundated with the public advising me of a pup they can buy from someone out there, pup weighed x at birth now weighs Y what do I think? Firstly I cannot comment on anyone else’s pup.  So much goes into the raising of a pup from birth.

• How many pups in the litter?
• Did the pup get a fair share of mother’s milk?
• At what age did this pup begin to eat?
• Any set-backs of any kind this pup experienced? If so that alone will impact on the overall indication of the pup’s future adult weight.

We produce pups from NORMAL weight adult females and smaller males but not mice sized males, as those are not suited to any form of breeding.

We get pups that from day one are born at a certain weight, every single week from birth reach the goal weight, they reach all goals, we expect them to reach as a certain sized pup for a future certain sized, adult weight dog.

You do get the exception where the pup is born at a pretty high weight, as it goes along the dogs weekly expected weight gain drops significantly but selling a pup like this to the public is questionable as it may decide to have a growth spurt along the way and end up more to the indicated adult weight at birth,  than the going along week by week process.  So it is first and foremost very important to go with a breeder who does have some insight into the smaller sized dogs, don’t go on “hearsay either”, they should be able to show you what they breed, etc,  not necessarily their own dogs, but the people out there who own their dogs.

You must be able to trust the breeder of your choice,  we all make mistakes this is a process that is not easy by any stretch of the imagination,  but over the years you learn more and more.

NO really small sized pup should be leaving the breeder at 8 weeks of age. Many years back we used to do that when the new owner was pushy etc, however we have not sold tinies in years at that age.  OUR genuine teacups leave us at FOUR MONTHS of age.  Fully inoculated, health guarantees, microchipped, registration to follow etc. Sold strictly on a spay/neuter contract. Every pup of ours irrespective of the size will be sold as a PET on a contract. We have never sold the first pup for any form of breeding ever.

Every single pup we have bred for the best part of the last twenty plus years leaves here MICRO CHIPPED. This way that pup and ultimate adult dog will be identifiable.

We only sell our pups as PETS, not for any form of breeding. We will only see a GENUINE teacup pup to a qualified buyer.

Looking to purchase a proper SMALL sized pup takes time, we do not breed by the dozen, we do however pride ourselves in what we do breed and sell are guaranteed to be fully socialised, NO CAGE breeding, guaranteed to have an exceptional temperament, are quality, well cared for babies you can adopt and enjoy for many years to come.  If you want a small sized dog as in YESTERDAY don’t contact me, I will not be able to assist you. 

This is a specialised size dog small sizes are not the norm so be patient if this is what you are looking for.

I attach two photos of dogs of mine I used to take out to the Malls I frequented two plus years ago, I did this for many years,  however the attention they caused became a security risk to the MALLS and we were asked not to return with our four legged friends.

These dogs are all adult dogs, the heaviest weight is 1.2kg and the least weight 600gms.  First and foremost HEALTHY and solid built, robust dogs.

Sorry the pic with the shopping trolley is not the best, but it gives a very good indication of just how small these dogs are when they are in the well- known, small plastic PICNIC basket.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.....

 

Please be advsied it is a lot of peoples dream to own a small sized dog, but there are certain issues to take into consideration, before opting to purchase a TINY or SMALL sized pup.  THey are not suited to KENNELLING, they are not suited to staying in at a veterinary clinic, they pine, become distraught.  The most important condition of them all, ensure you want this size of dog for the right reasons.... They are not suited to the majortiy of dog owners.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TEACUPS the real info behind a GENUINE TEACUP pup…..

I get inundated with enquiries for teacups, people wanting another teacup, I always enquire as to the weight of their current teacup, I am amazed to hear they are 1.8kg , 2.2kg etc and this has been sold to them as a teacup and they honestly believe it is a teacup.

I just had a lady call me saying that it is so hard for the public as they don’t know the full story as to what a teacup pup should weigh, look like etc, so most are conned.

The adverts for micro- teacup, teacup etc, be cautious…. First and foremost a huge amount goes into the raising of any PROPER teacup pup so it is a pricey pup. However be cautious of that,  as I hear from a lot of folk out there who have paid the big bucks and the pup is still no teacup.

OR sad to say paid big bucks and the pup is in the vet clinic for a week or three and passes away and that is really big  bucks then.

FORGET SUCH THINGS AS GROWTH CHARTS EXIST…….. this is where most people have an issue, it is not guaranteed that a pup born at any particular weight will be the weight that growth chart indicates at birth, as an adult dog.  This depends on so many factors, that if you had to know them all, you would come to realise very few pups reach that expected weight goal as was predicted from their birth weight..

What is your idea of a teacup weight dog and work according to that.? People come to me for a pup and say TEACUP I ask what weight do you consider a teacup pup and when they find out just how small they are and can be they are in shock. NO idea such sized dogs exist. 

However be cautious, if you have any doubt get it in writing from the breeder of your choice, that you will have that pup to a vet, if for whatever reason the vet does not okay it as a healthy, robust  and a TINY pup you will be returning it for a full refund. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, so many vets are not too familiar with what size a teacup pup is supposed to be but most know that a rather fair sized pup is NO TEACUP pup.

 

 

Why do I suggest this is done? SIMPLE as one particular breeder was selling very under aged pups as teacup and every one of those pups and I knew of three incidents, where the pup was hospitalised, day’s later dead pup. This is a life at the end of the day, how can anyone be so heartless and cruel?

We have come a very long way when it comes to the teacup pup, owning my first one over thirty years ago.  They are rare, they are NEVER available in numbers so the minute you are told by a breeder I have so many sitting here, be assured they are not a teacup dog to begin with.

It is not easy to raise a proper teacup pup it is hard work, dedication and a labour of love, it is total commitment by the breeder.  A proper teacup pup will eat far more frequently and at a far earlier age than any other size of pup. So when you are told to feed twice daily or even three times daily and NO night feeds, you can be assured the pup is NO TEACUP pup.

Our teacups are here for four months.  They carry health guarantees they leave us being fully inoculated. Chipped, sold on a contract to be sterilised. they will be registered.

This is a RARE size of dog, weighing anything from 550gms to 1.1kg as adult and at these weights, solid short legged, short bodied, robust HEALTHY babies.

This is no pup to take lightly, hands on, huge responsibility, no spur of the moment impulse urge to own this size of dog. This is NO fashion statement.

Burns: First Aid for Pets

Few injuries in pets are as traumatic, painful and disfiguring as a burn. Burns are injuries that result from exposure to flame or extreme heat, chemical or electrical trauma, and inhalation of smoke or noxious fumes. Most burns that pets receive come from a hot surface, appliance or substance found in and around the home. Often it takes time for the extent of the damage to be fully realised. Burns produce syndromes ranging from self-limiting injury to devastating long term incapacitation and potentially death. Both the temperature and the duration of exposure contribute to the degree of thermal injury.

Burns are generally placed into one of three categories:

• First degree. Superficial partial thickness wounds involving only the top layer of the skin. The symptoms are generally limited to minor pain and redness. An example would be mild sunburn. These burns heal quickly and generally don’t require extra care.
• Second degree. Deep partial thickness wounds involving the deep layers of the skin. These burns are more painful, introduce a risk of infection, take longer to heal and require veterinary attention.
• Third degree. Full thickness wounds involving complete destruction of all skin layers. These burns are the most dangerous and life-threatening and required immediate and extensive veterinary care.

Sunburn develops in pets that are exposed to sunlight for an extended period of time. It typically occurs on naturally hairless areas such as the tips of the ears and nose; or if the pet’s coat has been trimmed too short, exposing the skin to the sun. This type of burn is usually first degree. It is painful but generally not life-threatening and resolve quickly. Chronic exposure to sun can lead to various types of skin cancer so must be avoided or sunscreen must be applied to exposed skin.

Electrical burns are most commonly found in the mouth as a result of the animal chewing on an electric cord. The lips, gums, tongue and palate may be involved. These burns are usually second degree and do result in tissue erosion and necrosis. Dogs are more often affected.

Diagnosing a burn is usually straight forward if the event is observed.

Burns that are not observed or are malicious in nature are more difficult to diagnose as most burns develop over time as tissue damage sets in and the lesions spread. In almost every case, a pet that has suffered a burn should be evaluated by your veterinarian. It is critically important that the effect the burn has on the animal’s overall health be assessed. Besides the burn itself, the pet may develop an electrolyte imbalance, kidney failure, anaemia and a systemic infection. The extent, location and percentage of the pet’s body involved in the burn all play a role in assessing and evaluating the long term outlook for the pet.

Prevention is always better than treatment so as far as possible limit your pet’s exposure to direct sunlight, flames, household appliances and electrical cords, chemicals and smoke.

If exposure occurs:

• Extinguish all flames. If electricity is involved, make sure the power is turned off.
• Avoid being bitten. Even the most loving of pets will bite when painful or afraid. You may have to muzzle your pet.
• Make sure the area is well ventilated.
• Apply cool water compresses with a clean cloth. Change the compress frequently and keep the site cool and wet. The area affected can also be submerged in cool water. This may prevent the burn from penetrating deeper into the tissues.
• If the burn is from a dry chemical, brush away as much of the substance as possible. Be sure to protect the mouth, nose and eyes of you and your pet. Wash the contaminated area with large amounts of warm (not hot) water. Protect yourself with appropraite safety equipment. If the chemical has gotten into the pet’s eyes, flush with clean water for 15-20 minutes.
• Do not break any blisters that have formed.
• Do not apply any ointments or butter-like substances.
• Do not apply ice to the burn.
• Carefully transport the animal to your veterinarian. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A cruel, unnecessary – and illegal – practice

We humans don’t have the copyright on body language: dogs use their tails for communication. A tail that is wagging quickly indicates a happy, friendly dog, whilst a tail that is being wagged stiffly slowly and deliberately indicates a warning that a dog is feeling threatened or unhappy, and that he may bite or attack. 

All of which calls into question the archaic, barbaric and illegal but continuing practice of tail docking. Further research suggests that when dogs feel stress, they tend to wag their tails to the left as a reflection of what’s happening in the brain. Activation of the left-brain causes the tail to wag to the right, activation of the right brain produced a way to the left.

The research shows that dogs wag to the right side when they encounter something pleasant.  When they see something threatening, for example, a strange dog exhibiting dominant behaviours, they wag more to the left side.  These results suggest that dogs notice another dogs tail wagging and use the information to decide whether the dog with the wagging tail is friend or foe. The researchers concluded that dogs aren’t intentionally sending signals with their tails, but rather the tail wagging is a consequence of the inner working of the canine brain. Tail wagging behaviour results from the way in which different emotional signals activate different parts of a dog’s brain. WIthout a tail, a dog cannot communicate his emotions or intentions, making it more difficult for people and other dogs to know how a dog is likely to react in in a certain situation and may even lead to an increase in dog fights. Tails also assist with agility and balance.

Tail docking is the amputation of a dog’s tail at varying lengths to suit the recommendations of a breed standard. Coking involved the amputation of the puppy’s tail with a scalpel. Sometimes, rubber bands are used, although this method has never been used by veterinarians.  The cut goes through the skin, cartilage and bone. This procedure is usually performed without any anaesthetic or with a local anaesthetic at three to five days of age.  A small number of dogs are born naturally without a tail.

Tail docking, even if performed with local anaesthesia, causes pain and stress to young puppies. Recent research in pain management indicates clearly that puppies, even at a few day s of age have a full developed nervous system and a well-developed sense of pain. Sometimes, tail docking, results in serious complications such as bleeding. Infection and even the death of the puppy.

Tail docking does not provide any benefit to puppies. Traditionally, some breeders considered a docked tail necessary to fulfil the working functions of the dog. Today many working breeds are kept as house pets and only a small percentage are used for field work, which is a recreational activity for people and not an essential function. If dogs of breeds that are customarily docked are left with intact tails, they are not more likely to get tail injuries than dogs of other breeds. If a procedure that causes pain has no immediate or future benefit for the animal and may lead to complications, surely it is unnecessary and should not be performed?

Tail docking is a procedure that is carried out because people believe that that is how that dog should “look” so it merely satisfies a breed standard or a human notion of what that type of dog should look like.

Some owners say that a dog with a long tail causes problems by knocking down ornaments in the house – well try rearranging your décor.   OR don’t keep such a big dog.

The SA Veterinary Council does not condone the routine of tail docking of puppies for cosmetic purposed by veterinarians. Any veterinarian who docks a tail “unless for justifiable medical reasons”, will be liable for prosecution under the Animal Protections Aca (APA) NO 71 of 1962.

Veterinarians found guilty under this act will automatically be investigated for unprofessional conduct by the SAVC under the Veterinary and Para-Veterinary  Professions Act 1982.

SINCE THE REMOVAL OF THE TAIL OF A DOG OR PUPPY RESULTS IN PERMANENT LOSS OF (I.E.DAMAGE TO) A BODY PART, THE PROCEDURE OF REMOVING A HEALTHY TAILS IS CONSIDERED A FORM OF MAIMING.   Lay people are also liable to prosecution under the APA if maiming can be proved. This falls under the ambit of welfare organisations. The NSPCA is opposed to the unnecessary mutilation of animals for cosmetic, sporting, entertainment or convenience purposes – including but not limited to tail-docking, ear-cropping, de-barking, de-clawing, and myotomy (cutting of muscle). The NSPCA takes the identical standpoint relating to the various surgical mutilations of other species. It has long been the opinion of the NSPCA that tail docking (as well as any other form of mutilation) is a contravention of the Animal Protection Act Clause 2(1)a which states: “Any person who overloads, overdrives, overrides, ill-treats, neglects, infuriates, tortures or maims or cruelly beats, kicks goads or terrifies any animal…… shall subject to the provisions of this Act and any other law, be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to  a fine …..  “Since the removal of the tail or a dog or puppy results in permanent loss of (i.e. damage to) a body part, the procedure of removing a healthy tails is considered a form of maiming. According to the Kennel Union of South Africa (KUSA) none of their breed standards say that a dog’s tail must be cropped, but they rather say “tail customarily docked” or “tail traditionally docked”. Dog owners may show their dogs with or without cropped tails. Smallholders are encouraged not to buy puppies without tails and to insist that the breeder from whom they buy their dogs does not dock tails.
