Agree!
A friend of mine has a Yorkie and asked me if Max was a teacup. I tried not to react, but my usual snippy reaction is to just say, "No. Yorkies are a toy breed and teacup is a term byb use to sell them". I can understand the general population using this term (sort of) but not a person who owns a Yorkie for years!
