She didn't call my yorkie a teacup though!!! She said, "His brother was smaller, but he didn't have the babydoll face and his coat wasn't as pretty." She sold Luca Dean's brother for $275 more nonetheless, because he was smaller. Other breeders may have sold Luca Dean for more because he comes closer to the standard than his brother ever would have -- coat, size, proper muzzle, etc.

Usually the smaller the yorkie the higher it sells . I've seen them go for 1500 -2000.
