Just to clear up about the term teacup. It doesn't mean your puppy is a "mutt". The term teacup is a marketing ploy that if frowned upon by reputable breeders. The standard for yorkies is under 7 lbs with the average being between 4- 7 pounds. Females under 5 lbs should not be bred. Good breeders are trying to breed Yorkies that conform to the standard and that are healthy. There are many breeders out there that are just concerned with breeding tiny pups and selling them for large sums with little regard to good breeding practices. |
