there is no breed of yorkie called teacup....its just a runt... the breed size for a yorkie is about 7 lbs and up...if you are selling yorkies and someone insist on a teacup do not sell to them.... they are looking to breed runts to produce a runt litter......big mistake because the ancestors of the sire or bitch may be a much larger dog and your little runt may not be able to handle her pregnancy and die or have problems with delivery
Answer addition: Well, actually the breed standard for yorkies is less than 7 pounds. Therefore, the entire breed is called a "toy" breed. Some people consider yorkies to be teacups if they are under 4 pounds but that is not recognized by any breed standard at all. AKC does not recognize a difference and the previous answer was correct - the smaller the dog, the more difficult it is for them to survive giving birth. Plus, most smaller yorkies - 2-3 lbs are lucky if they give birth to even one pup in a litter!

∙ 14y agoSorry to say, but there is no such thing as a teacup dog; they take two runts and breed them and label them as "teacup" dogs, but there's really no such thing. I am an expert on Yorkies, I have one and have researched them a lot. They are my favorite dog breed, so I should know. The breeding of two runts is very dangerous for the puppies as well as the parents, so it's very awful to do. They do that to try to get more money out of you. Help the puppies and dogs so that they can't do that any longer!

∙ 8y agoToy and teacup yorkies are practically the same nickname for a miniature Yorkshire terrier. I have a pretty big yorkie and I'll be getting a teacup yorkie and they are just runts of the normal sized yorkie. But they sure are cute.

∙ 14y agoTeacup yorkies and normal yorkies are the same. Teacup yorkies are just a lot smaller. Teacup yorkies average up to 2lbs. to 4lbs. Normal yokies average up to 5lbs to 10lbs.

What is the most famous Yorkshire Terrier?
Well it's a Teacup puppy's own one my self and her name is Diva, and she just turned 1. But I think Teacup (Yorkshire Terrier) is the most popular! Teacup Yorkshire Terriers are not recognized as an official breed or sub-breed recognized by the AKC. Furthermore, it is not recommended to breed the dogs to be this small because it has been proved that the smaller the dog is, the more medical problems it is likely to have. The most famous Yorkshire Terrier would probably be Toto of The Wizard of Oz. Although the dog in the movie was a Cairn Terrier, research suggests that the dog described in the story may very well be a Yorkshire Terrier, because the features match those of a Yorkie more than a Cairn. Thought a regular Yorkie is pretty popular too, by allot of famous moviestaists!

What phylum is teacup yorkies?
Sorry to say but you are not an expert on tea cup yorkies just because you have one yorkie. I am a breeder of Yorkshire Terriers. First of all I do not breed a teacup or runt as you call it, to another teacup to get a teacup, because I would be having C sections on every birth. To get a teacup I breed my largest females to my 2 and 3 lb males. In case anyone is confused on the difference between Yorkies, teacups, Yorkshire Terriers----- they are all Yorkshire Terriers called by different names, some are smaller or bigger than others but all are Yorkshire Terriers and as a breeder, there is no such thing as a runt. I have several beautiful teacup yorkies that weigh between 1 lb. 11 oz. and 3 lbs full grown and all came from tiny daddy and large mommy parents.

There is only one Yorkshire Terrier. Many irresponsible breeders call their dogs, ''Teacup-Yorkies'' or ''Toy Yorkies'', but Yorkshire terriers are already only 3 to 7pounds, so there aren't any 'teacups'. There is also the 'Biewer Yorkie'' which is simply mis marked Yorkshire Terrier, that, because it cannot be show (its color is a disqualification) should not be bred.
