I addressed it on a recent thread about teacups. I said all yorkies were mutants since the breed started out large- closer to 14 lbs, and has been bred down to 7 lbs and under. (5 to 7 lbs if you want to show them, I think).
Well, that had to happen to get them smaller.
The main idea was she paid for a small yorkie, the greedy breeder called it a teacup to get more money for it. Most reputable breeders will have small pups by accident, but they don't label them as teacups. They would be considered the runts.
Only greedy breeders label pups with teacup. micro, mini, tinys, ect. to get more money for pups than they should. Greedy breeders also don't look into health histories of the parents. That's another can of worms...LOL!
I covered the high lights for you. There's tons of threads arguing about that term-teacups.
I've found that here on YT you will get a ton of opinions. Some will be emotional, some on the cognitive side, and some just out there... depending on the moon phase...LOL! Always remember you get answers from people who care about yorkies. Take what you can use, ask if you don't understand, and always PM if you need more clarification about any questions.
