Teacup Yorkie Puppy Problems?
I live in an apartment by myself, but my girlfriend shows up everyday at least for 5 hours if not stay the night. I got my "teacup" yorkie about 2 weeks ago and he follows me everywhere I go just how I dog should. Thats not the problem…his name is sam and he doesn't seem to like my girlfriend yet. Hes my dog…but shes around for a while everyday, but nope sam is almost scared to death when she walks in the door, but Shes a very nice person, an animal lover as well, still no luck. Also, is there an actual breed of teacup yorkies or is it just the runt of the litter before the sell them?
There is no such thing as a 'teacup' of any breed and certainly not any 'teacup' yorkies. Yorkies come in one size only, and that is the breed standard. They are the product of BYB and puppy mill breeding two runts together to get puppies smaller than the standard. They are often riddled with health problems and genetic disorders.
Maybe try having your girlfriend keep some treats in her pocket and when the dog is around, have her throw him a treat. After a while, have her start throwing them closer and closer to herself, until the dog will come and eat it out of her hand. Eventually he'll see that your g/f being there is a good thing (since she gives him treats) and he wont be afraid or fearful anymore.
Don't force him into it as it will only make his fear worse.

"teacup" any breed is one of the bigger rip-off schemes - the #1 is "designer dogs".
Yorkies only come in one size. Teacup breeds are inbred runts with a lot of health problems. Too bad you didn't do more research. They are only bred by backyard breeders and puppy mills.

Yorkies are just Yorkies
"sell them" What do you mean "sell them"? If you're thinking of breeding, then think again. Breeding is costly and time consuming.. and if your dog was labelled as a "teacup" then you dont have a breeding quality dog to begin with.. besides that and is fearful temperment is not a breeding dog.
