There is no such thing as a teacup yorkie. That term is used by bad sellers trying to sell undersized often a health problem yorkie. Any yorkie that matures to less than 4 lbs often has health issues that can seriously shorten their life span and will contribute to very large vet bills, if the vet can pull them through crises at all. Any breeders that are members of a Yorkie breed club such as YTCA are not allowed to use that term in selling a puppy under the Code of Ethics.
Also some will sell as a teacup and as many have found out on this forum, end up with one very large yorkie sometimes not even in the breed standard size of under 7 lbs.
