Yup, it says Christmas special. Usually good breeders don't say it that way because Christmas is a time for impulse buying.
I don't think the terms "teacup" or "teapot" are acceptable for marketing. I think the AKC standard is up to 7 pounds, so why would you need to use the word teacup? It can't mean below standard. That is the same as using "micro" and "tinies". There is no such thing and it makes innocent buyers think there is. If a dog is older and the breeder knows it will stay small, I prefer they just say it will be small. That seems like more of a description to me rather than trying to convince everyone that there is a such thing as a micro Yorkie. Teapot is just a word of endearment to me and I would never use it to advertise. I think it started when everyone started to like "teacups" better than other Yorkies.
