I've read a lot about the use of the word "teacups" here on Yorkietalk, and learned that it's a very popular word to describe a very small dog; it has no real meaning as far as dog standards go, and each breeder uses the term differently, but I've been told to
Stay away from breeders who use the word Teacups!!!
Now there's another new word that catching on, Purse Puppies! I'm totally against the use of this word by breeders and owners! I think it makes people think that their dogs will be quite content to live in a purse. A growing problem seems to be people buying dogs and learning that they require a bit more attention than they thought, so they just discard the dog.
Here's an interesting video, and I would just like to say
Beware of the breeder who uses the term Purse Puppy!!!!
