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.

| The yorkie standard is just not to exceed 7 pounds. Otherwise great though.
