My yorkie is very tiny also. I get the same thing "is she a teacup?" I just say" there is no such thing as a teacup dog it is a horrible marketing stratagey!" And I dont let anyone hold her if I do not know them

She is very delicate

People dont know any better and they really dont mean any harm I blame the breeders who market their pups as "teacups"! Bottom line if you are in the market for any dog you should always do your homework and educate yourself about the breed before hand
