Just for the sake of accuracy, I wanted to say, while your baby is tiny, Yorkies do NOT come classified "miniature, toy, micro-mini, etc". They are not "considered" a toy....and that is a very quick way to determine if the person you are talking with to purchase a Yorkie puppy, is a valid breeder or a backyard breeder or worse. Yorkies are not divided into separate distinctive size categories....some are smaller than others, some MUCH smaller than others, but unlike poodles and other breeds, they are not designated or considered strictly by a specific catagory of size....some are just smaller than others....some much smaller than others, but there are no size distinctions for words like "micro, micro-mini, mini, toy, pocket size, etc..."! They are all referred to as strictly Yorkies! |
I had mistakenly typed 28 pounds. It's really 2.8.
Using the word Teacup, Toy, Miniature etc. is an acceptable way to identify the size group. These groups are bred to be that small. I understand that the terms are not recognized by the AKC but totally acceptable to use to identify the smaller than standard dogs.
