I just wanted to say that's great that you explain to people how your yorkie is bigger. When I first started researching yorkies I read the standard, and then got confused when I saw t-cups and t-pots. I wondered if they were mixed or another breed. People need to realize that not everyone knows about yorkies, so if someone makes a comment like "is that a real yorkie" why not inform them instead of getting pist? If someone says comments to be rude, that's one thing, but if they don't know, then inform them about it. One day I finally asked my friend about the sizes, she has a t-pot, and she kindly explained to me that some are bigger, some are smaller. She didn't feel the need to be a snob about to me either.
