Please don't take it personally as those who "corrected" you are well meaning members.  |
Kim, I just wanted to let you know that the term teacup doesn't offend me at all...
I just feel that it is so over-used by greedy people to make tons of money off of people who otherwise don't know any better. I decided a while back to not let any terms to describe yorkies bother me...that I would just classify them as tiny or bigger. I just felt that our new member was a classic case of the mis-information that so many people have caused over the years. I mean she thought her 6 lber was a t-cup and that really tells me that most folks are really CONFUSED now days concerning t-cup, miniature, standard, ect...Thats all.
To me, they are just yorkshire terriers, and they come in all sizes and shapes and I happen to really like the smaller one's!
