Yes, the term is used unscrupulously by some breeders but its just a word, whats the point in wasting the time explaining it. Just my opinion |
the reason i started explaining it to other people is because i myself did not know that 'teacup' was an incorrect term until after joining YT. i had no idea that looking for a small size dog was a bad thing.
after joining YT, i learned a lot about yorkie size/health ...etc.
and hearing people's experience with sick dogs scared me, and i wanted to try to tell others that they should first and foremost pay attention to the health of the puppy, not the size.
