I'm a little disappointed that some of Yorkietalk breeders seem to be defending breeders who use terminology such as "teacups" and "purse puppies". Like I said earlier, the purpose of this thread was to educate people, especially young women that yorkies are a very active breed, and they will not be content to live happily in your purse or under your dorm bed.
I do not condone using that terminology if one is educated to the issues. However I can understand where some older breeders see it as a descritive term rather than a marketing gimmic. To them it just means small.

They sdo not have webswite, they have probably never even seen a website.

I perosnally will not use the terms, and I intend to put some ethical selling guidlines on the Colorful Yorksire Terrier Website.
