I agree, the word TEACUP itself isn't what causes tons of damage,it is the lack or explination behind using the word, its the bad things that come with trying to breed a 2lb yorkie by breeding tiny males and females, its the bad things that come when somebody purchases their cute TEACUP yorkie only for it to be sickly or be to hard for them to take care of. I do realize smaller yorkies are the 'cool' thing to have, and (some not all) breeders are going to take advantage of that.
