I think the context that she used it in was okay
I think the problem comes when breeders advertise their dogs as teacups and have "teacups, toys, and standard" yorkies and are not educated on the breed. Because if they were, they would know that AKC only recognizes toys. Yes there are smaller ones and larger ones, some call them tinies and teapots
just to be descriptive. But to be so uneducated as to say that teacups are 2-4lbs, toys are 5-7lbs, and standards are 8-11lbs is just not reputable in my opinion. I've seen that on several websites...They obviously have not read the standard. LOL
