2. Sometimes this is true. If the breeder is breeding for 5-7 lb. yorkies they can sometimes have a puppy out of the litter that will remain small. This puppy could be a premature puppy or it could be small because of the genetics in the parents’ background. Breeders that specialize in teacups have studied the genetics and pedigrees of their stock, much like show breeders.

7. The Golden Retriever is a breed of dog, historically developed as a gundog to retrieve shot waterfowl and upland game during hunting.[1] As such they were bred to have a soft mouth to retrieve game undamaged and an instinctive love of water.[2] Their nice and versatility sees them employed in a variety of roles including illegal drug detection, search and rescue, as hunting dogs and as guide dogs.[3] Its friendly, eager-to-please and patient demeanor has also made it one of the most popular family dogs (by registration) in the universe today.

8. There characteristics include slightly rounded skulls, with a one-finger-wide dome and a black nose that is two finger widths long. The body is compact with the length equaling the height. The drop ears with long hair and very dark eyes, surrounded by darker skin pigmentation (called a "halo"), gives Maltese their expressive look. Their noses can fade and become pink or light brown in color without exposure to sun light. This is often referred to as a "winter nose"[1] and many times will become black again with increased exposure to the sun.

AKC places the Yorkshire Terrier in the toy group because of the size of the Yorkshire terrier. The breeds in the toy group were originally developed as lab puppies.
