If I understand right.....a Yorkie is a Yorkie no matter what size it is. There isn't such a thing as a 'teacup.' All puppies look 'teacup' when they are young. That word is used by unethical sellers to get you to buy their puppies. Many, here on YT, have been told that they have a 'teacup' and end up with a Yorkie that weighs 12 or so lbs. General rule is: double the weight of the puppy at 12 wks. and add one pound. It seems, though, that anyone who has a Yorkie that turns out much larger than expected adores their 'teapot' size Yorkie.

As for showing that is out of my range of expertise (assuming I even have any.

) Might want to post that in the thread about showing dogs. ~Joanne~
