i just checked out their website......... they actually defended the word "teacup"....... check this out:

So you don't like the word "Teacup"?
We use the word Teacup to explain the potential size of a pup. We could call it a Tiny, Teeny Weeny, Bitszy, Dwarf, Miniature, Diminutive, or some other adjective that would describe a tiny dog, but we like the word Teacup.

There are many reputable breeders who specialize in small dogs. All breeders and most people looking for the small Yorkies know there is no AKC Teacup Standard, they just know it means small.

The breeders who hate the word Teacup no matter what they think it means will always charge you more money for the, Teacup, Tiny, Teeny Weeny, Bitszy, Dwarf, Miniature, Diminutive, sized pups they are offering. Look at any web site selling Yorkie pups, the breeders that complain about the word Teacup on their web site and how it affects OTHER breeders pups prices will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, sell you their Tiny, Teeny Weeny, Bitszy, Dwarf, Miniature, Diminutive or "Teacup" sized pups at the highest price.

No matter what they say about the word "Teacup", small Yorkies mean more $$$, and they know it!

At yorkiepup.com we have long lines of champions in our breeding Yorkies, but we never use that to determine the price of a pup. We don't do AKC dog shows or follow any AKC standards, but we do breed & raise what people want, and that is loving, Teacup, Tiny, Teeny Weeny, Bitszy, Dwarf, Miniature, Diminutive, puppies!

If some people think the AKC doesn't recognize ,Teacup, Tiny, Teeny Weeny, Bitszy, Dwarf, Miniature, Diminutive, sized Yorkies, then maybe they should tell the AKC to quit accepting money from the hundreds of breeders who pay thousands and thousands of dollars each year to register their Teacup sized pup litters. You don't see the AKC turning away that money - now do you?

Teacup, Toy, and Standard are only words we use to describe the size of pups or adults, it has nothing to do with the AKC, ACA, UKC, CKC or any of the other 50+ dog registerations available out there.

There is such a thing as "Teacup" sized Yorkies, and we have them!

They trying to start a revolution or something???
