Yes, yes, the oppressive Standard Yorkie World is a stickler for rules of being 7 pounds and under, so here at the Teapot Club and Secret Society we fight for any rules we can have!

Please let us know how old that adorable pup is, and I like your chances of being accepted into our prestigious club! Love the pictures!

Princeton is 10 years old and 8.5 lbs.

His favorite thing to eat are Dentastix, despite me trying to wean him off them in exchange for a healthier treat. He is an extremely smart and persistent pup. He has learned that his human will get up if he scratches at the front door and pretends he needs to go potty...and then when you walk towards the door, he will quickly run over to his treat shelf instead. Heaven forbid I run out of them...he won't let me sleep unless he gets his treat before bed.

Princeton definitely rules the roost at my house. We call him my cranky old man because he likes to boss everyone around. He really doesn't enjoy playing and likes a calm household. He's a bit of a control freak. He looks forward to daily walks, although sometimes he prefers to be pushed around in his stroller instead. Besides his daily walk and dentastix, going to bed is his other favorite time of day. The only time he ever runs is when it's too the bedroom to go to bed. He definitely knows what "lets go to bed" means...and if he is ready before I am, he will definitely let me know by pawing at my leg and running back and forth to the bedroom. You will always find Princeton laying on the most fluffy spot, whether it be on a blanket or pillow on the couch or his fuzzy blanket in bed.

Good enough...

Princeton has my Vote !

I'm going to be filing an application soon. Just got my almost 8 month old pup Cookie into the vet and she measured at 6.5 lbs. A healthy 6.5 though, not a fat one. She'll likely end up about 8 or 9 lbs full-grown.

OMG, Princeton is adorable and you have a perfect application. Name, age, weight, picture and a few fun facts. I agree! WELCOME TO THE CLUB, Princeton. The Teapot Club and Secret Society is proud to have such a distinguished gentleman among us.

Cook would exercise those cheese treats right off though. One she hit 6 months her energy level went through the roof.

This is my 11-12lb Zoey. Gotta love the 'teapots' =) Crazy to think she only weighed 2lbs when I got her, got a bad bacterial infection and went down to 1.5lbs and now 5.5yrs later she's this big loveable teapot

My 12.5wk old, 4lb puppy. I have a feeling he's going to be a teapot.

Our sincere apologies for the delay in acknowledging Zoey's application to the Teapot Club and Secret Society.

Normally, we'd ding you for an incomplete application -- name, age, weight and AGE are required -- but since we were so remiss in getting back to you, we'll let you slide with a warning.

But Zoey so perfectly fits the ranks of the club, it doesn't matter if she's 5 1/2, 6 or 1, she's IN!

Welcome to the club, Zoey!

[KeeganRiley]

My name is Keegan. As an eleven pound, fourteen-month-old young gentleman yorkie with admittedly non-standard coloring but possessing--according to my parents--an amazingly sweet and noble character, I would like to respectfully submit my application for membership to the super-secret society known (or surreptitiously unknown) as the Teapot Club. I would strive to uphold the fine reputation of this honorable group and would expect to be scolded or told "bad dog" if ever I were to sully the good Teapot name.

[GizmosDogShop]

I didn't know there was a club! Can Gizmo be in? He is 11 pounds. I always think he is so small (compared to his 30 pound mutt sister) then my friend brings over her 4 pound Yorkie and then I realize he is giant in comparison.

The venerable elders of the Teapot Club and Secret Society were awakened for an emergency session when Keegan's application arrived. Eleven pounds? 14 months? And a sweet and noble character? There were some among the membership who thought he was too good to be true! That's a whole lot of lovin' at a young and tender age.

But after careful scrutiny of the required photographs, the elders came to the unanimous conclusion that YES! Keegan's perfect application -- name, age, weight and pictures -- perfectly documented a specimen that many of the elders consider the future of the Teapot Club and Secret Society.

Welcome to the club, Keegan! As long as you remain sweet and noble, we expect no disciplinary action in the years to come.

Yes, yes! There is a club and Gizmo seems perfectly qualified!

Unfortunately, we have to decline Gizmo's request for membership at this time due to an incomplete application.

Name, age, weight and attached picture are required.

You may reapply exactly one year from this date -- or during a special application period that take place during any month with an R in it.
