Jeeze, I really don't understand the need for a SMALLER yorkie. For crying out loud, the breed standard says 6 pounds to begin with, why on earth do you want a smaller dog? Why don't you get a gerbil instead?

Teacup anything is BS. There is no such thing. There are smaller than normal Yorkies. If anyone tries to sell you a 'teacup' Yorkie you are getting a very poorly bred pup that will have numerous health issues and may very well die within the first year of it's life.

You should not get any small breed dog under 6 or 7 pounds. Not if you don't want serious health problems.

My source? This site, the people on it and common sense.

I have a male teacup Yorkie. He's 13 year old, and weighs 4.8 lbs. His heaviest weight was 5 lbs. He's about 10 inches long and about 6 inches when sitting down.
But you have to be very careful with Yorkies. Be prepare they get very bad joints in the back legs at a young age.

sorry but there is no such thing as a teacup
It is a made up size that's suppose to mean it's on the smaller size
If you look at the standard for a Yorkshire Terrier they should not get over 6 pounds
This term of teacup is from backyard and puppy mill breeders.
A slight change but the same thing
there is a lady near me that sell "teacup" chihuahuas ( again the standard for a chihuahua is 6 pounds or under like the Yorkie
Well this person has a female ( bitch) that is 12 pounds and the male(stud) is 15 pounds I don't know of any of her pups to have ever grown to be less than 10 pounds well over the tiny already chi at 6 pounds.
I have seen some chis that are 3 pounds and one that was only 2 1/2 pound these dogs are very small, are more prone to hypoglycemia ( low blood sugar) this can often go into seizures and causing other health problem. They are very weak boned and can easily break a bone just from jumping off your leg while setting on the floor..

There is no such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie. Teacup is a marketing term used by unethical breeders to describe dogs bred to be extremely small with no regard to the overall health of the dog. These are the types of breeders you should avoid at all costs.

The standard for the Yorkshire Terrier is "not to exceed 7 pounds." There are no subcategories based on size.
