I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I know what you mean. I feel like it's a losing battle. The general public thinks there is a teacup yorkie. Joey's around 5 ½ pounds and people always ask me if he's a teacup. I always say, "no he's standard, anything under 7lbs is standard." Then they insist that standard is much higher. I think it the poodles fault!

YT 500 Club Member | It is annoying I saw the other day a commercial for teacup yorkies and maltese, they were stuffed animals for little girls. Arggh and it made it all cutesy because the yorkies or maltese whichever one they choose come with a purse. I bet some of those little girls will be asking for a real one next.

| Why is ok to call some teapots and not call others teacups? Its just a word to describe if the puppy is small or big. Why is everyone getting so upset about a little word. |

| If I heard a vet, groomer, etc use the term teacup I would turn around and walk right out the door. I don't trust uneducated people with Tilly. As a groomer, you should also know these things. That is part of the training. That's very unprofessional.

| Yes, it is quite annoying when a professional uses that word... Vets, groomers, etc should know better. There are a few people in my vet school class that I've heard use the word "teacup"..drives me crazy...among other things I've heard. I would first educate the vet/groomer and THEN walk out
