There is no such thing as a teacup. The breed standard size is from 4 - 7 lbs. However, purebred Yorkies do come in all different sizes. The term 'teacup' is used to entice uneducated buyers into paying more for something they are lead to believe is 'rare'.

Breed standard is anything under 7 lbs. per akc guidelines. American Kennel Club - Yorkshire Terrier
Weight
Must not exceed seven pounds.
Thanks, like I said, I'm still learning too. I appreciate any and all help to learn the proper facts.
