I just say "She's 3 1/2 pounds". Call her what you want.  |
agreed. its just to describe its size.
same when ive read that people say 'silky' to describe a yorkie's texture, but its not a 'silky terrier' cuz thats a whole 'nother breed.
teacup just describes the size of the yorkie. not a certain breed.
