| There is no such thing as a teacup. There are small yorkies and if youve been here 3w yrs you already know that and your trying to irritate people

However I feel the need to burst your bubble. According to the Yorkshire Terrier Club of American and the American Kennel Club breed standard the weight of a yorkie "Must not exceed seven pounds." So by that statement ruling any dog 7 lbs and under is within the standard. A 1.5lb yorkie, while it may be smaller then the average yorkie, is still a "STANDARD" Yorkshire Terrier. As you've been told before, the term "teacup" is a marketing ploy used by some breeders to make their puppies seem extra special and cute. This special term also comes with a price tag.

| Sorry to the OP, There is NO such thing as a Teacup just stupid breeders trying to get more money out of you!!! Read the Yorkie standard, A yorkie can be anything up to 7 pounds. How can something be under that????????????????? Anything includes ounces to pounds! Please learn the truth and be a great parent to you new baby, you don't seem to be starting out on the right foot, If you really care, you will learn. If you don't like what you read on YT maybe you shouldn't post Sorry if this sounds harsh BUT!!!!!! Sparklingbluyorkies.com |

| I have been in yorkies, showing and bredding for more than 30 yrs, the weight standard has never shanges in that time. I think some magazines state that most are 4-7pounds But the AKC/YTCA standard has always been the same on weight sparklingbluyorkies.com |

| Far as I know it is still 4-7 pounds. Some will be larger, some smaller, but no such thing as a Teacup, Teapot, Bulldozer, etc. Gimicks to fool the clueless and unsuspecting. Wonder if that is why a tiny one costs so much more! Love it when some person said they breed for Tinies. If that does not throw up a flag, nothing will. |

| I am so sure the OP knows all of the above. To comment further is to entertain her/him imho.

| Oh, good to know. I'd always thought there was a lower limit of 4 lbs. to be within the AKC standard. |
