Welcome. Unfortunately, some people advertise their puppies as "teacups" and according to the AKC standard their is only one type of yorkie and they are just called Yorkshire Terriers. Reputable breeders will from time to time have a tiny as a result of a breeding to standard (7 lbs and under) parents but most people breeding real tinies charge a lot and many have health problems that can run well into the thousands in vet bills alone if they survive. I would check the YTCA website for breeders in your area and check on here and really research before purchasing. Yorkies can be wonderful pets but a sick one causes heartbreak and financial hardship. Good luck in your search and keep reading on here for valuable info.
