Maybe you read it! For those of you like me who can remember reading between 4 to 7 pounds, it comes form our very own YT forum F&Q. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6016

* No. Many yorkie breeder's claim to have "teacup" Yorkie's and justify charging more for such claims on their puppies. The Yorkie standard gives no preference for smaller dogs within the 7 pound weight limit. Extra care should be given to the more tiny Yorkies as some are more susceptible to hypoglycemia, physical injuries due to falls, etc. The Yorkshire Terrier standard as defined by the American Kennel Club (AKC) is between 4 to 7 pounds.
Maybe, someone could get administer to change this. Fewer of us will feel like we are losing our minds when we are told "anything below 7 pounds".
