After bringing him home, I cried for days because I didn't want a fragile dog who'd have hypoglycemia while I was at work or break if he jumped in the air or accidentally rolled off the sofa.

At seven months, he's over 5 pounds of solid Yorkie muscle. He's outgrown the XS clothes that swam on him at 3 months. We take him on hikes in the woods, over roots, rocks, and inclines. Our trainer said once grown and with proper training, he'll be capable of doing 4,000-ft mountains here in NH.
There is no such thing as a teacup it was a word made up by bad breeders. Also no matter the size of a dog when they are adults they shouldn't experience hypoglycemia or it means something is very wrong. Puppies no matter what size can get hypoglycemia.
