Sorry, but there is no term "teacup" to describe any breed of dog. Only BYB's and non reputable breeders resort to referring to the term "teacup". You have undersize dogs that is all. It is unfortunate that if in fact you had 2 standard Yorkies used to create this litter that they ended up undersize but a reputable breeder would still never refer to the pups as "teacup".
The expression was started in the early 60's when a photo was taken of a 6 week old Chi sitting in a teacup to show how small they are as puppies was taken then published with the notation "teacup Chihuahua". It ran in a major maagazine and from there the term started but no reputable breeder used it as they knew the pup was just that a pup not an adult tiny version. If you are not able to breed to the standards set for Yorkies that is unfortunate for the dogs but to try to pass them off as something that does not exist and be honest in just stating that they are small than this is only a reflection on you as a breeder that maybe you need to review what you are doing and correct it.
I bred for over 47 years Miniature Pinschers, Australian Shepherds and Mal/Wolf and Shep/Husky mixes. Of my purebreds, the litters were kept to standards. It is not that difficult to do. Please do not insult people by telling them that you have something that does not exist in the real world but only in the world of BYB's and puppymills.
Besides, no reputable breeder ever uses pet sites to sell their dogs. They have the sales pre-arranged. Otherwise they are only contributing to the problem of overpopulation of dogs as is.
