Is there such a breed called the Teacup Poodle?

No, the Teacup Poodle is basically a term used by some puppy mills, breeders and owners when they are referring to an undersized Toy Poodle. Since the Teacup Poodle does not meet the height requirements of the Toy Poodle as stated in the breed standards of reputable kennel clubs, the puppy mills and breeders used this name so that purchasers will consider them as another breed instead of an undersized Toy Poodle that fails to meet breed standards. The name "Teacup Poodle" also creates the impression that this breed is cute, and small in a trendy way. The Teacup Poodle is also not recognized as a breed by reputable kennel clubs such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). Most people who purchased a Teacup Poodle are unaware that it is more prone to health problems than a Toy Poodle. Their smaller skeletal structure makes them more fragile, hence they are more likely to suffer from accidents. Their life span is also generally shorter than that of a Toy Poodle.
