Default Teacup?

I have heard from a couple of sources that there is actually no such thing as a teapot Yorkie. I guess you can call Harley a teapot yorkie because he is the size of one, but it's a term that describes a dog that is smaller than the breed standard. Yorkie's are supposed to be 7 pounds or less according to the AKC breed standard. So your yorkie is a normal yorkie. I'm not sure who came up with the 'teacup' description but I think it was intended to make money. ie "let's call it a teacup and charge $500 more"
