I did.
Here is a roughly the "Feedback" text I sent.
Save a yorkie!!! Please STOP using the term "Teacup" to describe ANY Yorkshire terrier (yorkie). Okay to use description "small"--but using the term "teacup" only promotes bad breeding practices and causes yorkies to lose their lives.
A standard yorkie weighs between 4 and 7 lbs. While there are many larger, there are bad breeders who seek to create and even breed dogs that are smaller and smaller. These too small pups suffer horrible health issues; many die in the breeding process.
Please change your use of the “teacup” terminology—be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
