The breed parent club YTCA and AKC do not recognize a breed call the teacup Yorkie. The standard simply says to 7 pounds.
Also, unscrupulous breeders use terms like teacup, baby doll face, teddy bear face, and so on as marketing terms to charge more money. |
I understand that but then why is it okay to throw the term teapot around but not teacup? That's the problem I have with the terms.
