I hope that no reptuable breeder would ever use the term purse puppy, but the more I see the more it seems there aren't many truly reptuable breeders out there. Not to say there aren't any, just that there are a very small percentage compared to all the "breeders" out there.
I was looking at a website that stated she has AKCm registered "teacups" and "standard" size yorkies.

IMO that is intentionally misleading, to make people believe they are two entirely different classes.
