I understand your point of view. But I disagree, My sister owns a tiny female yorkie that is completely healthy with champion bloodline. Yorkies are not meant to be so small so if any of us have a yorkie that is below 4-5lbs your puppy has been genetically cross bred to be small.breeders have been doing this for years, did you guys know that most dogs except the chihuahua were once wolfs????? Humans have cross bred over centuries so this is nothing new!!!!! Teacup is a term used too loosely in my opinion but its a term used to identify a dog that is below 4lbs if someone does not feel comfortable using this term, The can use the word small or tiny. But that's the reality of it!!
