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. |
I looked up the standards before my first reply:

I have to admit I thought people used the word teaPOT as a term of endearment for their really large or overweight doggies.
