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! |
Sorry I know this is an older post but it was quoted and a lot stuck out in it...there you have it from an actual breeder...I wasn't trying to offend anyone who has bigger yorkies but smaller yorkies are more wanted. I'm one of those guilty of wanting a smaller yorkie BEFORE you all educated me. I can imagine how annoying it is as a breeder to get so many calls about such a "negative" thing but the fact that teacups don't exist and are actually defined as sick puppies, sadly, isn't common knowledge.
