When people use the term "teacup" to me it means they have not done any research on this wonderful little breed. If breeders say it, it means they are after $$$ and not for the betterment of the breed.

Dogs are living creatures and too many people buy them on impulse and guess what 50% of them won't stay in their first home.

I will be tolerant when we have no more Yorkies going into rescue because people had no clue what they were buying and just thought they were cute.

I hope I never see teacup being accepted in YT. We don't need more people breeding dogs just to breed dogs. I believe in a purebred dog and when people mess with the standard we eventually won't even recognize this breed anymore.
