I wouldn't consider Texas Teacups a puppy mill but rather a back yard greeder - that's my opinion and they could very well be a puppy mill considering the amount of puppies they have listed. At any rate, tell your (was it your sister) that you cannot guarantee what size a puppy will be as an adult and you don't ever want to purchase a yorkie puppy with the words, "tiny", "teacup" or "micro" associated with them as these are not proper terms for Yorkshire Terriers. The AKA standard weight for a yorkie is between 4 and 7 pounds. I'm sure you can find other posts on here about the "teacup" thing but she should want to go to a reputable breeder who has a contract and health guarantee for the puppies they sell. Good luck to her and good luck to you on attempting to educate her!
