There is only one kind of yorkie. She is a yorkie and that is about it. Yorkies come in different sizes I have seen one that weighed only 1 1/2 lbs. Too small in my opinion. I have a 3 lb yorkie, a 4 lb yorkie, a 5 lb yorkie and a 6 lb yorkie. They are all yorkies. Tea cup is just a word to say the dog is tiny.
The standard for a yorkie is 5 to 7 lbs. My favorite size is 5 lbs but I love them all. The very tiny ones are usually delicate. I have to be very carefull with my 3 lb boy.
I hope this helps. Your dog is a yorkie and is a cutie. Enjoy! :-) |
