no, people (us YTers) get mad when BREEDERS call them teacups and sell them for more money, and in this case, worse yet, "teaspoon". What's next, "eyedropper"? I mean really? Most of these breeders who are doing this are also selling their pups too young, eg, saying they are 8-12 wks when they are only 5-6 wks. (Worse yet, what I heard today, 4 weeks!!)
Standard for yorkies is anything under 7 lbs. Just b/c they are less than 3 lbs doesn't make them teacup, not officially, anyway.
