I thought the breed 'minimum' was 4 lbs? I'm pretty sure the KC and AKC standard is 4- 7 llbs!?

What I have noticed is that when people esp in the UK say they have a standard yorkie it is quite big like a silky.

eta: When people describe their small yorkie as teacup isnt this just the same as describing a bigger yorkie as teapot? Yet Teacup seems to have negative connotations - where teapot is looked at as a cute description of a larger sized yorkie.
