Welcome to YT!!!! You are doing the right thing by researching a lot first before buying! Please dont buy from anyone selling "teacups"! A yorkie is a yorkie.. I think as long as it's healthy then size shouldnt matter

A true breeder of this breed will try it's best to breed to standard
7lbs and under.
The term teacup comes from breeding these little ones down to very
tiny sizes which only put a higher price tag on the pup and can also
cause real health issues. Anyone that advertises Teacup's stay away
from. They are hoping you know nothing and only want to reach into
your wallet.
Please do a search on YT. There are several breeders and members
who have pups. You'll be certain to get a healthy one. Good luck
with your search.
Oh, welcome to YT.

im in CA and I cannot recommend a good breeder but I can warn you against a bad one. Please do not purchase your puppy from www.poshpuppy.info they are in Tarzana. They lie a lot. I bought my pup there and have had a lot of issues. They are also way overpriced.

Also I would just like to commend you for doing all your research first. Way to be smart

most breeders i have found that advertised teacups when i was searching for my baby had puppies of average size and were just calling them teacups. so breeders in my area seem to think that as long as they are below standard yorkie size then they are teacups. which is not what id refer to as a teacup they would be standard size. i think we need a term for the smaller yorkies because obviously they do occur and obviously their are some people out there who would prefer the smaller size. I dont honestly think it should be treated like a cus word like it is on this site but it shouldnt taken and abused by breeders who breed for the smaller size and forget all about the health of the poor puppies they will bring into this world.
