Hi there is a lot to consider when getting a "Teacup" such as hyperclycemia. I would search the YT forum under Teacup and do some research first before committing. Yorkies by standard are between five to seven pounds (Standard). The other problem is that when buying a pup NO ONE can actually project what size the pup will actually be when he/she is an adult. You may end up paying big bucks for what you think will be a Teacup and end up getting a standard size anyway. The only other way around this is if you were interested in adoptiong an older dog. I have thee Yorkies and all three are above what AKC consider standard size. My fourth pup I bought when she was older. She was almost nine months when I got her and she got just a bit bigger then she was. The stop growing around ten months to a year so getting a pup over nine months will give you a better idea as to not only size but temperment and look. If you are not opposed to getting an older pup or even an adult Yorkie you can check out Petfinder.com and also check out Yorkie rescues. Not only will you save $$ by adopting through an organization because most are adopted out already neutered or spayed and have all be vetted etc. and you'll also be rescuing a pup that needs a home. Just some food for thought. Good Luck. Elaine
