My Laci is 4 and a half pds, people always always ask if she is a teacup, I just say no just a regular "yorkie" , I dont think anyone means to insult by that comment its just a sterotype that people have created!! I honestly dont find it nessesary to correct people because most of them dont really care to know that there is no such thing as a teacup they are just being nice when they see my little puppy....
