Not to disagree with Moonlight kennels, but just to play "Devil's Advocate" and see what you all think...

I think a third category has to be added to the list because the
term "teacup" is sometimes used by perfectly honest people to describe "size". It is true that it is not a "classification" by AKC but it is usually defined as a yorkie whose adult weight will e under the breed standard of 5 lbs. as an adult.

I have noticed recently that some doggy clothes designers are using the term as a size on their clothing and they include yorkies as one breed who may fit the Teacup size. Target is one example. They are not using the term for purposes of fraud or out of ignorance.

Some of the same people who don't approve of the term "teacup" also don't like "tiny" or "mini". To me they are just words or semantics and it does not offend me but i think it's because I grew up with teacup poodles.
