Lol, I grew up with the word teacup, and was surprised to learn on Yorkietalk, "that there was no such word." I think if you can explain to someone there is no official definition of the word; they can understand it better. You could always ask your uncle to give you links for an "official definition" but it can't be from "breeders sites" and things of the nature. Without an official definition the word "teacup" could mean anything, so that's why the word is only good as a "nickname" usually meaning smaller than average, but then you have to have a definition for "average", and does this mean average for all breeders, or average of breeders who breed to standard? The average for the breeders who breed to standard is 4-6 pounds, the average for other breeders and those that avertise "teacups" is probably much higher.
