I just wanted to say that when I was looking for my dog, I wanted it to fit inside my purse. Not as a fashion accessory, but because that would mean I can take him everywhere. I wanted a constant companion, and now I have him!

Also, I wanted to thank the starter of the this thread. I agree with everything you say. I also wanted to add that I think the word "teacup" is a deceptive word to use because I have heard many non-yorkie enthusiasts (pretty much people who don't know much about small breed dogs) use the term because they actually thought it was a type of dog! I have even heard someone use the terms "miniature yorkie" and "toy yorkie"! I think breeders who use the term "teacup" are simply perpetuating the idea that there is more than one type of yorkshire terrier.
