BabyDoll Face & Teacups

        There is no REAL definition of babydoll face and Teacups.  Everyone has their own
definition of size in Teacups.  At Olympic Petshop, our definition of a Teacup is under 4 pounds
at maturity.  We also use the term "SUPER TEACUP" which we use to define a dog that will be
under 3 pounds at maturity.  Babydoll faces are yorkies or maltese with big round eyes and
small, flat snout, looking almost like a teddy bear.  (TEACUPS are very hard to care for and
only recommended for people with many years of experience with very small dogs. We will
NOT sell any teacups to families with young children for the safety of our dogs.

                                                             






Yorkshire Terriers

        The Yorkshire Terrier originated in Yorkshire in Northen England in the mid-nineteenth
century. Yorkshire   Terriers a.k.a yorkies, are intelligent, dependent, highly energetic, brave,
loyal, clever and courageous; although they can be very stubborn.  Their behavior towards
outsiders will vary – they will often be inclined to bark at strangers, but some yorkies are
outgoing and friendly towards new people.  The difference in behavior is largely based on how
the owner trains or conditions (socializes) the Yorkie.  Yorkies typically get along well with
other dogs, but some yorkies are unaware of their small size and may even challenge larger,
tougher dogs.  Yorkies are more difficult to train than some other breeds, not because of the
lack of intelligence, but due to their characteristic independent nature.  You should never over
protect or spoil your yorkie too much, this can make them neurotic.  Yorkies are best with older,
or more considerate children.  They are good for apartment life since they are very active
indoors and doesn’t necessarily need a yard.  The yorkies are sensitive to the cold and prefer
warmer climates. They are also hypo-allergenic(do not shed)
