I still don't like it because the word is really deceiving. There are way too many people out there that really believe a "teacup" yorkie (or any breed) really exists and they think they are buying something special and better than a regular yorkie. I've honestly met people that thought their "teacup" yorkie was something different than my yorkie. I just don't think it's a good idea for any breeder to use it at all
