Let me clarify...I don't mean rare in the official sense. I know chocolate yorkies are not AKC recognized, nor is the term teacup. (BTW, Biewers didn't used to be either.) I also know that any trait outside what is designated by the AKC standard is considered a flaw. By rare, I meant you don't see them as often as the standard colored yorkie or the standard sized yorkie. I did do my fair share of research, trust me. I started my search in Februrary, and literally spent a few hours everyday perusing websites and looking at all kinds of yorkies. I didn't make my purchase until April, so it definitely wasn't done without lots of forethought. Though...obviously not enough.
