Marketing terminology.
I have a "teapot" from standard size parents and it's one thing to get a "teacup" from standard size parents...they do exist but these are cutesy terms to describe a Yorkie...not terms a breeder should be using to sell you a pup.
Purposely breeding undersized dogs to get "teacups" is wrong especially because they are more prone to a lot of health issues correlating with their downsizing...I'm seeing the beginning of the "teacup" mini schnauzer craze...a lot of health issues with them too, like suddenly there are hypoglycemic schnauzies showing up!
