I do NOT think ok with pretending that there is not a word for smaller Yorkies. There is. That word is Teacup. Something else I have noticed. It is people with oversized Yorkies that do not like the term.
IF you reread my post I said that the term is 'known to many'. I will ask? When you hear the word Teacup, do you not know they are talking about a smaller Yorkie? Do you not know that the Standard for the Breed calls for 7 pounds and under?????? That is.....AND UNDER.
Also. Not all small Yorkies are sickly. Not even all of those 3 pounds and under.
It's like Miniature Horses.....some and especially the ones bred ONLY for size, are sickly and born with a LOT of deformities. It does not mean that the entire group of the smaller sized are not bred well. |
I hope nobody gets offended in this wonderful community. I am still new here without too much expertise. I enjoy reading the posts(especially during this gloomy pandemic situation).
I don’t think anyone in this thread have any bad intention. I guess the word teacup means different to different people. We all joined this YorkieTalk because we love this breed and I trust that we all mean well.
