I have heard about the 'teacup' yorkies but have never seen one. There was a runt in Frankies litter that was small but id say he will still be at least 3-4lbs. If a dog is that small his organs must be TINY!! i guess its a presonal preference, id rather see my dog closer to the 7lb end of it.
this is why they say the smaller yorkies have health issues because their organs are so small. this is why the "Yorkshire Terrier Club of America" does not accept this type of breeding of "teacups" (which is a use of a word to inflat the cost).
