First two questions I usually get when I'm out with Soph (6 pounds) are "Is she a Yorkie?" yes "Is she a teacup?" noooo, she's a Yorkie, remember. I swear one day I'm going to have a T-shirt made to wear when I'm out and about with her.....
I've noticed more and more that people advertising pups for sale, yorkies, chis, poodles, maltis, whatever, are using the word teacup to describe their dogs and charging ridiculous amounts. Doesn't make me mad, I just feel sorry for the people who don't know any better and basically get scammed into paying more because they see the word teacup.
