I'm glad this topic was posted. I know that teacup is used as a marketing ploy and to get more money and they're higher health risks having a "teacup". I fell in love with Lucy when I saw her; she was the same price as all of the rest. She is 6 months and 3 lbs. I thought she'd make it to 5 lbs and maybe she will. Regardless if she's 3 lbs or 7 lbs, I'll still love her. I get a lot of comments when I'm walking her. Some people frown upon tiny dogs calling them rats or is that a dog, it's smaller than my cat. I do not call her a teacup because I know there is a lot of negativity around that name. If people question her size I tell them I don't expect her to get much bigger. Some ask if she's a teacup and I'll say yes thinking they are using the name and I know what they are referring too. It sucks that we have to defend our yorkies size whether they are tinies, teapots or teabags.
