ever heard of a Teacup Yorkie?
What’s that you ask? When I first heard it, I thought it was one of those antique china set from old England. Much like a Tudor furniture or something like that. Well, I was sooo far from right, lol! A Teacup Yorkie or a Teacup Yorkshire Terrier is actually a toy dog breed, BUT according to MoonlightKennels.com, there is no such dog classification per AKC.org definition of what is a Yorkshire Terrier (“Weight: Must not exceed seven pounds.”). So, if there is no Teacup Yorkie, why are there dog breeders that claim to sell Teacup Yorkie puppies? Well, for one, they want to make money off less knowledgeable people who don’t know that there is no such thing as a Teacup Yorkie. So, next time somebody offers you a pretty toy dog (like the photos below) and tell you it’s a “teacup” Yorkie, correct them and make sure other people won’t get victimized.
