I only give the speech when I am teaching about Yorkies. When lay people ask me if mine are teacup Yorkies, I reply no, they are a toy breed. If they persist and are truely interested, I may expand what I say. The descriptive term 'teacup' is not going to go away, and is a generic word meaning small to most people.
