i dont think they should adopt the term and go on with it. everyone knows the word and its going to be used yes.

But put plain and simple, someone started calling the smaller ones "teacups" and some breeders use it. but its such a looked down word because so many breeders ABUSE the word and abuse the fact that Yorkies can be smaller, therefore making them do dangerous things to achieve the "teacup" size just to make them a little more pocket happy, which then affects the puppies in the long run. Yes, some are healthy but it takes a lot to get that far, and there are lots of risks.

there isnt a guarantee that your "teacup" will actually be tiny. Its like people, some come out bigger than others and some come out smaller than others.
