I am fairly new to YT myself, the term "teapot" I believe is a Yorkie Talk thing, I had never heard of "teapot" either lol, I think it's a very cute term to describe any yorkie that weighs over the standard 7 lbs. I myself would NEVER tell anyone my 17 lber or my new 12 lber was a "teapot" lol and can understand a breeder getting all uptight about that description. Funny she knows there is no such thing as a "teapot" yet as a "breeder" she doesn't know generics can kick out a larger yorkie. Maybe this "breeder" is a BYB, since she doesn't seem to know much about generics. Just MHO. Just ignore her. Some years ago I had 2 of my yorkies in my convertible car,(a 10 lb and a 13 lb) top was down, I was on vacation in Mass. I had some idiot walk up to me, told me he breed yorkies and called mine, 2 horses, lol, I was shocked to have a stranger just walk up to me out of the clear blue sky and say this to me, he tells me if I want a TRUE yorkie he breeds them. I told him with his rudeness I wouldn't take one of his dogs if he gave it to me for free and just drove off. There are a lot of @^&$@ out there. Just ignore them, walk away, don't even waste your breath to answer them. There is NO reason you should have to defend your lil Sofie. I take my lil boy all over with me now that he no longer gets car sick, he is 12 lbs, if anyone were to make a comment about his size, I would just walk away,not even answer them, I got tired of trying to educate stupid ppl on yorkie sizes.
