Welcome to YT. Yep, the word, "teacup" strikes a nerve her on YT, as there is no teacup Yorkie. It is only a standard Yorkshire Terrier, which is "up to 7 lbs."

When looking for your pup, I suggest taking a look at adult dogs and asking how much they weigh. It's difficult to know how big a dog is at a certain weight until you actually see them. I aquired my sweetie a few months ago and had no ide how small 3 lbs really was. At 6 mos., my Trixie is just over 4 lbs and I hope she grows to be at least 5 lbs. Not always, but the tiny ones do usually come with some scary health problems, not to mention the risk of their skinny little bones breaking from simple things, like jumping off the couch.

For the most part, you're safer going with a Yorkie in the 4-7 range. My Trixie is so small at 4 lbs, she goes with me everywhere, and I know at 5 lbs she will still easily be able to do the same.

Good luck with your search for your new baby!
