yorkshire terriers only comes in one variety and judged based on a single standard. there is no "toy yorkshire terrier" in the toy group and a "standard yorkshire terrier" in a different group. the term "toy yorkie", "standard yorkie", "teacup yorkie", "miniature yorkie" are all just marketing terms not a breed term.

I couldn't have said it any better!
