Ensure, while mailing, that the image area is spacious.

The space should ideally be at least 250 pixels wide.

You should adopt the .JPG format instead.

Focus on the puppy, instead of the surrounding.

Be sure to use a good camera. The cheap cameras are not very resourceful.

Try to use a decent 35mm camera with zoom lens.

If you are using a digital camera, ensure that it has a flash.

For a better picture, take a close-up of the yorkie.

If you do not want the pup’s eyes to look green or squinting, take the picture outside, in the shade, a naturally lit room or in case of artificial lights use indoor halogen lamps.

Always try a simple background while taking the picture. Do not opt for too many articles in the background.

Make your yorkie’s ears stand up. You can do so by making a weird sound or by calling out to the pup.

Click at least 8 or 10 pictures of the puppy. Processing and filming costs are not so high and they offer you the opportunity to capture the features of the yorkie from every camera angle.

Teacup yorkies: There is a controversy regarding the use of the terms ‘teacup’ or ‘tiny toy’. The terms are usually used for adult dogs that are small in stature. However, it is important for all people planning to buy teacup miniature yorkies to know that this is not an official term. There is no breed registered as teacup yorkies.

People who are engaged in breeding and judging the miniature yorkies feel that the use of the term ‘teacup’ is nothing but a gimmick to overprice the normal Yorkshire terriers or dogs with serious health problems, due to dwarfing. Moreover, the American Kennel club registers the miniature yorkies as Yorkshire terriers in the toy category. This is on account of the size, since the yorkie weighs less than 3lbs. The breed is known to suffer from various health problems, like hypoglycemia or low blood sugar and low immunity level. They are likely to get hurt more than the normal 5 to 7lbs miniature yorkie.
