Small Yorkie Puppy — Epic, 11 Weeks Old
This listing sets out everything we know about Epic as a small yorkie puppy — temperament, paperwork, and what happens after you enquire.
Read on for the full detail on this small yorkie puppy, including the questions most buyers only think to ask later.
Meet Epic
Epic is an 11-week-old male Yorkshire Terrier and the smallest of his litter. He is bright, busy and curious — the one who investigates a new noise rather than backing away from it — and he settles readily once the room goes quiet.
He has been raised in our living room in Lena, Louisiana, handled every day since his first week, and is used to a television, a doorbell and people moving around him.
About Epic’s size — read this before you enquire
Epic is genuinely small for his age. That is not a selling point and we do not price him differently for it. A smaller Yorkshire Terrier needs more frequent meals in the first six months, needs watching for blood-sugar drops, and should not be jumping down from furniture.
People often search for a puppy like Epic using the word “teacup”. We would rather you understood what that word does and does not mean before you commit — we have written honestly about it here. If after reading that you still want a smaller Yorkie, Epic is a lovely one, and we will talk you through his care properly.
Who this small yorkie puppy suits
A calm adult household, a couple, or a family with children old enough to sit on the floor rather than carry him around. He would not suit a home with toddlers, and he should not be left alone for long working days.
Health records for this small yorkie puppy
Epic has been examined by a licensed veterinarian and has his age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming completed to date. All records travel with him. Microchipping is arranged on request, at cost. He will not be released before twelve weeks of age.
What comes with Epic
- Veterinary examination certificate and vaccination record
- Deworming history
- Written 14-day money-back guarantee
- Signed adoption agreement, sent before any deposit
- Two weeks of the food he is already eating
- A blanket carrying his littermates’ scent
Bringing your small yorkie puppy home
Collect him in person here in Louisiana at no cost, or we arrange an in-cabin flight nanny or climate-controlled ground transport. We quote your exact delivery cost in writing before you place a deposit. We never use the cargo hold.
Teacup Yorkies: what the word actually means
Families searching for a small yorkie puppy often search for teacup Yorkies in the same breath, so it is worth being direct about the term.
Teacup is not a recognised size
No kennel club anywhere recognises teacup Yorkies as a classification. The Yorkshire Terrier sits in the Toy Group, and the breed standard places an adult at up to seven pounds. Anything marketed as a teacup is simply a small Yorkshire Terrier with a premium attached to the word.
Why the label costs buyers money
Dogs sold as teacup Yorkies routinely carry several hundred dollars of markup, and extreme miniaturisation raises the risk of hypoglycaemia, dental crowding, fragile bones and anaesthetic complications. We set out those risks in full here.
Where Epic sits
He is not bred or sold as one of the teacup Yorkies you will see advertised elsewhere. He is a properly proportioned toy-group dog, and we do not charge a premium for the word.
Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale: what to check before you buy
Whether you choose Epic or buy elsewhere, the same checks apply to any Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale you are considering.
Ask for photographs of that exact puppy
Anyone advertising Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale should be able to send you fresh photographs of the specific puppy on request. Stock photography lifted from another website is the single clearest warning sign there is.
Ask what the paperwork covers
Genuine Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale come with a veterinary examination certificate, a vaccination record and a written agreement. Read the guarantee before you pay a deposit, not after. Our guide to spotting a real breeder covers the rest.
Ask how delivery is quoted
Transport for Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale should be quoted in writing up front. Costs that appear after a deposit are the most common way buyers lose money.
Every small yorkie puppy we place leaves with the same paperwork and the same written guarantee.
Caring for a small Yorkie puppy, honestly
Choosing a small Yorkie puppy is a legitimate preference, and we are not going to talk you out of it. We are going to make sure you know what the care involves, because it differs from a standard-size dog in ways that matter.
- Feed four to five small meals a day until at least six months. Never leave more than five waking hours without food.
- Keep high-calorie gel in the house and learn the hypoglycaemia signs: wobbliness, glazed eyes, unusual sleepiness, trembling, refusing food. Rub it on the gums, keep the puppy warm, call your vet.
- Ramps or steps to furniture. No jumping down.
- Harness, never a collar — collars aggravate tracheal collapse in small dogs.
- Budget for dental work earlier than you would for a larger breed.
- Choose a vet experienced with toy breeds, particularly for anaesthetic.
Epic is small, not extreme, and we do not charge a premium for his size.
