I don't get upset when people use the word teacup if they are new to learning about yorkies. Most will not use that term after they do their research. I really don't understand why the fact that it is an offensive term to most of us just be accepted.

The is the sad part... many people who are getting their first yorkie are sucked in by breeders who don't have the best programs and breed for the tiny without factoring in health problems. A yorkie that is breed to be tiny is a total different case then the runt who has a possibility of being healthy.I agree and you said it well

ok.. sorry... I am saying what has already been said a dozen times. Just wanted to say my version of it
