The term "teacup" is generally used by unscrupulous breeders in the Yorkie world. If you pick up a Yorkshire Terrier magazine or book, you will find that "teacup Yorkie" is not an accepted term, as there is no "teacup Yorkie" standard within the Yorkshire Terrier breed definition at this time. There are of course smaller Yorkies, ones as small as 2 or 3 pounds. Thus, we will not allow any for sale threads that state "teacup Yorkie".
We do allow discussion of many topics here, including the word "teacup". We would not suspend or ban members if they wish to use the word or discuss this topic, however, being rude to the YorkieTalk community, or attacking YorkieTalk members in general may result in a suspension or ban. |
