What everyone else said about AKC standards, and then include the links to the veterinary recommendations on not breeding dogs under 5 lbs.

There's nothing wrong with ppl having a "tea cup" or a "tea pot" IMHO, I have a "teapot" Yorkie...it's the purposeful downsizing of dogs that are already toys downsized enough from their original breeding in the creation of Yorkies-there are too many health issues to be concerned with, in both the dam and the pups.

The same can be said about breeding dogs to be oversized, you don't really see that with Yorkies though-look at Great Danes-seems all about health to me and expressing health as the concern and such might be better off.

I just posted such to a breeder of teacups, and hope they receive it well. They went on and on about breed improvement and conformity on their web site and then talk about breeding Yorkies under 5 lbs to create teacups.

Maybe enough negative feedback or concern of people will make these breeders think about what they are doing-the health concerns etc. At least one can hope right?

I really like what you said-maybe add veterinary links, and go you bringing them here! YT is about education in all forms-and sharing and fun too.
