There is no such thing as "teacup" it is only an undersized Yorkie that doesn't meet breed standard.
NO you should NOT breed an undersized Yorkie..these small dogs are at high risk of serious health issues..heart, kidney, liver, digestive, structural, to name a few. They are also too small to safely carry a litter let alone give birth and raise a litter.
Irresponsible breeders who delibrately breed dogs to be under or over sized are doing the breed a grave injustice..they are causing major health issues and are in escence ruining breeds that others have worked so hard to get health & longevity.

I'm afraid everyone is right. It will be dangerous for your teacup and it is a made-up name.
I have a yorkie-maltese mix. His mom was a teacup yorkie and died during delivery as I have been told. C-sections are very common for teacups.

As other people have said IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA AT ALL!!!!!!!!! Because of her size she could die during birth & in some cases they CAN NOT do a c-section without killing the small mother. P.S There are such things as "Teacup Yorkies" don't belive the people that say there aren't.

Too funny--you're asking if you can breed a poor lil' teacup Yorkie, for what? so you can make some money (so selfish)........I sure hope YOU don't have kids ;-)

Not a good idea, because of their small size they are high-risk during pregnancy/whelping and almost always require c-sections.

Is she breed standard? Has she been proven in the show ring?
What the hell is the matter with you?

To answer your question; yes you can. Should you? Probably not such a good idea.
