Teapot club was started in jest, since a teacup is usually more asked for, and very frowned upon.
Bad Breeders marketing ploy for a "teacup" aside.. There are categories of teacup within breeds, like a teacup poodle and a standard poodle. There is not that category in a Yorkie. I don't approve of the term teacup because a Yorkie is a Yorkie is a Yorkie. For me, size is only an issue for fitting into the lifestyle of the individual. Anything under 7 lbs or over 7 lbs is a Yorkie. Some are just smaller and some are just bigger... but still a Yorkie!
Personally, I hate the size thing. More people call me about size, than health or quality combined!
