Is this also true of Yorkies? My mom had a "teacup yorkie", my aunt has her now. But my mom talked as if it was some special breed. I educated her on the Cocka-Poo she bought from a pet store. I told her she basically bought a mutt from a puppy mill. Although she knows better now than to buy from a pet store she still thinks that the teacup yorkie is a special breeding of yorkie.
