I know people on her HATE the whole t-cup thing and OK so there is technically "no such thing as a tea-cup" BUT regardless of all of this it is a term used to describe a small sized dog (regardless of the breed)...a dog that is as an adult 2 or 3 lbs people describe it as a tea-cup. No matter how many people on here try to educate people it has become a universal term used to describe a tiny dog and especially to most of the people out there in the world when they see a tiny dog they say "oh look at that teacup dog". You can't educate the whole world and even though it is not right, it has become right. Here is an example (outside of the yorkie world) that BUGS my dad but there is nothing that he can do about it and that is the use of the word peruse...most people use it incorrectly. People say "I was perusing the paper today for a few minutes" or "Oh, I didn't really read that article I just perused it." This is not the correct use of this word...it means to intently study or to thoroughly read but it has become acceptable to use it in the opposite way it was intended and now it is socially acceptable to use it in the incorrect way. I'm just saying...you can't change the whole world and MOST people outside of this website use the word "teacup" to describe an extra small dog. I've never wanted to get into this on here because I know the hate is going to come back to me but people on here jump all over new people when they come on here and use that term....they really mean no harm, they are just describing an extra small dog and in less words everyone knows what they are talking about when they say "teacup" - it's much simplier. I realize that technically there is "no such thing as a teacup"....I'm just saying.
