| There is no such thing as a "teacup" yorkie so I guess I'm not sure what you are asking for exactly Are you looking for pictures of a small adult yorkie? I dont think you can really tell size of a yorkie just by a picture of them, unless there is something else in the picture with them that you can compare to...but a smaller yorkie ought to look no different than a larger yorkie.

| teacup is a marketing term it gets you attention and gets people to spend tons more money (usually) for the runt of the litter, which in most cases is the most sickly and needs round the clock care just like infants |

From the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America: An Important Message About “Teacup” Yorkies If you are interested in purchasing a tiny Yorkie, sometimes called a Teacup, Micro Mini, Teenie, or any other name that means “extra small”, there are several things you should consider. The YTCA’s Code of Ethics precludes the use of the words “teacup”, “tiny specialists”, doll faced, or similar terminology by its members, and for good reason. . All breeders may occasionally have an unusually small Yorkie (hopefully healthy), though no responsible breeder breeds for this trait. Many breeders prefer a general weight range of 4-7 four pounds believing that size retains desired Toy qualities while maintaining optimum health. The Yorkie Standard states weight "must not exceed seven pounds" and as a prospective pet owner you should realize that even at 7 pounds, the Yorkie is still a small dog. (Females weighing less than 5 pounds are considered by most breeders to be unsuitable for breeding.) . Special circumstances often come with extra tiny dogs. They are extremely susceptible to both hereditary and non-hereditary health problems, including birth defects that may go undetected for a long time. Other common problems may include, but are not limited to, diarrhea, vomiting, along with extra and expensive tests prior to routine teeth cleanings and surgeries. Small ones are more likely to have poor reactions to anesthesia and die from it. Tiny dogs are more easily injured by falls, being stepped on and being attacked by other dogs. These health problems nearly always result in large veterinary bills. . Please take this into consideration and make purchasing a healthy pet your top priority, not size. The “novelty” is certainly not worth the pain, heartbreak, or extra expense. Remember, all Yorkies are comparatively small. The most important thing is finding a healthy puppy that will grow into a healthy adult, especially since you looking at an 11 to 15 year commitment with your Yorkie. . There is much information on our website. Please take the time to study it before buying a puppy. We wish you the best of luck.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | No we are not looking for a teacup yorkie, i was just wondering what a full grown small yorkie would look like. My Bella just turned 1 and she is 7 pounds, im wondering if she will get bigger. I ask, because she was sold to me as a teacup and ever since then i am hearing different things about the term "teacup". thank you very much for all the info though, I would for sure make sure to look into all this when i buy my next yorkie. Thanks!

At 7 lbs, your Bella is a perfect weight for a yorkie. My guess is that at 1 year of age, she will stay right around that weight give or take a few ounces. She most likely won't get any bigger, but may fill out a little. Glad to have you here with us, stick around and you'll learn lots more about this wonderful breed!
