A purebred Yorkie is a registered breed. The AKC is the main registry of purebred dogs the U.S. While some breeds do come in different sizes the AKC only lists the Yorkishire Terrier in the toy category. Of course there is variation in the size of Yorkies but there has been no change in the official registry of the Yorkshire Terrier. People think of pet names such as teacup, teapot and standard but officially there is no such category for the Yorkshire Terrier. Since people advertize their Yorkies for sale under these pet names it has caused a lot of confusion for the general public. These names are made up, for what ever reason, by people who have nothing to do with changing the categories for the breed.
