Yes, it's different to you...and that's just something we are going to have to agree to disagree on. Along with always wanting to know why, I am a very optimistic person. Believe me, I'm not saying breeders should start breeding for "teacups". I'm just saying it's not uncommon for the average person to see a smaller pup and think "teacup". I know the millers and BYBs have destroyed that name so 9/10 it probably will forever be destroyed. And relevant or not I am curious as to what yorkies under 4lbs were referred to before they changed the standard. Because according to the AKC website "standard" was 4-7lbs. Someone, not knowing about that the YTCA sets the rules, could easily see that and think oh my puppy is under 4lbs that must mean they are a teacup. So idk maybe AKC needs to change their site then because in my opinion that is showing that smaller yorkies don't fit into the standard.
| it is different to anyone who has a knowledge of YORKIES. The word means something else to other breeds. I also think sometimes the word TOY (which is a legit classification and yorkies are a toy breed) gets mixed up in the word teacup (when used in speaking of yorkies is not a legit classification and implies bad breeding)
I don't get upset when people use the word teacup if they are new to learning about yorkies. Most will not use that term after they do their research. I really don't understand why the fact that it is an offensive term to most of us just be accepted.
The is the sad part... many people who are getting their first yorkie are sucked in by breeders who don't have the best programs and breed for the tiny without factoring in health problems. A yorkie that is breed to be tiny is a total different case then the runt who has a possibility of being healthy.
ok.. sorry... I am saying what has already been said a dozen times. Just wanted to say my version of it |
