Great post!!
When I first got into yorkies, I thought there was a teacup sized one, because I knew of a yorkie that was about 3#, and another one that was 13#. I wanted a smaller one. As soon as I asked my friend, she said their all the same, no teacups, and when I did research that was the very first thing I learned.
Then I got Rocky, and he was 4.9# at 6months and the vet said he could get up to 10# but I didn't care, I fell for him before he was even mine! He's now about 5.5#, and our little girl Bella is a lot smaller, last time I weighed her she was 3.5# (maybe almost 4 now) and she's tall, but her frame is soo tiny (She's about 1/4 shorter than Rocky, but her frame is a lot smaller than him). She seems pretty tough for her size, but with both of them being small in general you do worry about them a lot more, especially more than the bigger dogs I'm used too!
