Betty's Teacup Yorkies review: Selling sick puppies 69

ANGRY and want justice! I first want to bring to your attention that Betty's Yorkies has expanded and opened other sites on Instagram such as my Dream Pups and Bellapup_teacup. She has been in business with Autumn Elizabeth Cheung AKA Elizabeth Leigh Cheung and her husband
Calvin Cheung. They are all scam artists! First of all please don't judge those of us that were scammed. We experienced the same great communication and pleasant conversation but when my puppy arrived, sick, barely 2 lbs, starving and barely six weeks old the communication became quite different and the scam artist appeared acting as if they were the victim! This poor puppy was supposed to be 6 months old! Communication with these people went from pleasant to non existent! This puppy looks completely different than her picture and looked more like a Shih Tzu than a Maltese as she got bigger. These people are getting very sloppy in their greed. Plus let me educate you how these "micro tiny" dogs come into existence. They are removed from their mothers by C-section much earlier than they are supposed to causing distress and often death to both the mother and her puppies, then there are puppy brokers like Betty-Joanne and Autumn that come along exporting them to wherever making sure they are starving to stay tiny. Once you feed them and get them medical treatment they either die from pneumonia or they thrive and grow 3 to 4 times their size because they are not and never were meant to be "micro tiny." Buyers beware. I have notified the authorities and only need a few more complaints before justice will truly be done. Please contact me at hpinedo1512@msn.com. Below's picture is the puppy received and the next picture is the puppy advertised as 6 months old. Bellapup had the puppy advertised as Sailor and Betty's Yorkies advertised the same puppy under a few different names. How many times have they sold the same dog over and over to different parties!

I implore anyone who has fallen in love with these teacup dogs to do actual, deep research. I understand that many may have the reaction that I did initially, I read about the horrible parts and thought, "I still want to buy it because if it did come from such a horrible place, I want to save it" or "They won't stop doing this because I don't buy one dog. I want to take care of this dog". I remember feeling the same way. Now, I am a "mommy" to a tiny dog that someone purchased without doing research. They didn't understand the work involved, they didn't understand that this dog isn't an ornament, but an animal. They fell in love with a picture of a fluff ball however due to ill breeding, she suffers from a skin condition that caused most of her hair to fall out and never grow back fully. I raise her now with my two other dogs, one from a champion pedigree. Let me explain what you get when you go to a reputable breeder, you get to meet your puppies FAMILY, its mom and dad, its sisters and brothers, you get to look at its lineage, you get to see paperwork that shows that your puppy comes from a long line of healthy dogs. You get a healthy animal that is much less likely to suffer serious health problems, an animal that has much less limitations. You get an adorable animal that WILL turn heads and elicit choruses of "awwww"'s and you get it all for MUCH LESS MONEY! Is my dog bigger than 2lb full grown? YES. But he is supposed to be, and he is adorable and lovely. When I have my "teacup" rescue(who is 2lb full grown) and my other dogs with me, one from a champion bloodline and the other a normal sized chihuahua rescue, I get squeals of "aww how adorable" for all three of them. They are amazing creatures, they are adorable and small. Each of my dogs comes from radically different situations, and I love each of them with all of my heart. The only downside I have, is knowing that my tiny one is going to have the day come where it hurts her to walk, where she randomly will yelp out in pain for moving the wrong way. On Betty's website, she states that these tinies will have luxating patella, and downplays the severity of it. Any HUMAN who has seen someone living with joint pain knows that even if the person is active and seems okay, they often go through a lot of pain and pain causes physical and mental stress and exhaustion. That pain will happen to most of these tinies, but they can't pop an advil or an aleve, AND dogs often do not express that they are in pain unless it becomes unbearable. Bu tthat does not mean it is not in pain. Pain that would of been easily avoided if the people who created the animal cared deeply about its quality of life, instead of the amount of admiration it will get for being tiny. These dogs can't jump around and play like they should because their size makes it dangerous for them--they get tired out very quickly, they can get injured very easily. A dog isn't meant to live its life being held or in a purse. Reading Betty's website, and you will see that she informs you of this too, but again minimizes the reality. She tells you that your dog shouldn't jump around or play or walk too long because it can become hypoglycemic and is very dangerous. The risk you are taking for having your heart broken is very high, eventually, if not now, down the road, these dogs health will decline and they will have to pay the price for the decisions of humans looking to make money .

There is no such thing as a teacup. It is a buzz word, used to jack up prices for sickly animals.. As these ill bred tiny animals get older, the luxating patella gets worse and they have significant pain from this. She sources these animals from Korea, where there is virtually no rules or regulations, where your dogs mom and dad live a life of horror in a massive puppy mill. Is that justified? Is all the suffering going on in these puppy mills worth it to have a tiny adorable pet? A pet that, eventually, will have joint pain and suffer from luxating patella? She even speaks of this on her website, though she tries to downplay it. I am not trying to attack anyone, when I got my first dog, I fell in love with the adorable tiny dogs. However, I researched until I understood the pain and suffering that exists in order for these adorable animals to exist. I understood that, eventually, I may have to face serious financial and emotional pain as my tiny dog got older and began showing and suffering symptoms related to irresponsible breeding practices. I am grateful for all the information available on the internet, had I not done my research I would of not fully understood the massive issues involved with people who sell these "teacup" animals. The first, and biggest red flag should be the price tag, because if you look into breeders who are involved in showing dogs and breeding to better the breed, they are breeders who do genetic testing to ensure that they are breeding an animal that will better the breed, they win top showing titles, and they sell their puppies for so much less money than people like Betty. That made me pause, because with these people you are getting dogs from champion bloodlines, dogs that you know have excellent pedigree's, and even though I have no interest in showing a dog, the comfort that comes with being able to receive TONS of paperwork and information about the puppies parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc, to be able to see the parents of the puppy and know that they come from good, strong bloodlines, that is far more valuable and yet, costs thousands of dollars less than the dogs you see on Betty's page.

To conclude, these dogs are bought and taken from puppy mills in Korea, their parents live a horrible life locked in cages and are forced to breed over and over and over again. These puppies come from sad, awful conditions and she purchases them for dirt cheap. She fluffs them up, and inflates the price, labels them "teacup", in order to lure in a specific demographic of customers. She is preying upon people who she views naive and rich enough to fall for the scam, people who believe that if it costs more, it must be better quality.

This is long, I doubt many will read, but I am not trying to attack anyone. I want people to understand the reality of the situation. Puppies are adorable and I understand the appeal of owning an animal that will look like a tiny puppy forever, but that is not how nature works. These dogs are being created by taking the sick, runts and breeding them, taking the runts from the next batch and breeding them, and so on, so you are getting an animal with a lineage of sick animals bred with sick animals over and over. The result may look adorable, however the animal is suffering or will eventually suffer consequences that result from generations of poor breeding.

dont have much time to explain what happened but she is a broker for korea, the dogs come shipped directly from there, they come sick and nothing like what was guaranteed to us. she refuses to work with us on anything and is very unprofessional, stay away from her!

Hey,

Thank you for writing these posts, i was thinking of getting a korean dog based on being told they look different, shorter muzzles, rounder faces, short legs and just a teddy bear look overall. It seems the cost of "cuteness" can sometimes outweigh the risks when you want a cute puppy. I am glad i am not making that mistake and your viewpoints cemented that decision. I will be going ahead with a reputable breeder vs a risk.

Thank you kindly
