Is a toy dog or a mini dog smaller?

Generally, teacup dogs are smaller varieties of toy dogs. The smaller varieties of some toy breeds are called "teacup", such as "teacup Chihuahuas", "teacup Poodles", etc. However, teacup dogs are actually undersized toy dogs. This name is only a marketing technique used to increase dog sells by creating the impression that the "teacup" dogs are cuter and more valuable than toy dogs. Usually, teacup dogs have many health problems and a shorter life span due to their small size. Their bones are also very fragile and can be damaged easily. Also, teacup dogs are not approved by reputable kennel clubs including the Kennel Club (KC), the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Continental Kennel Club (CKC). Teacups are not considered as a separate breed in any way or form.

How big will a teacup chihuahua get?

Chihuahua breeders often use terms like miniature, teacup, tiny toy, apple headed, or deer headed, to describe puppies. These terms are not recognized by the breed standards and may be misleading. Both British and American breed standards state that a Chihuahua must not weigh more than six pounds. However, the British standard also states that a weight of two to four pounds is preferred and that if two dogs are equally good in type, the smaller is preferred. "Teacup" is the term is usually used to define a chihuahua which weighs less than the breed standard. The smallest Chihuahuas have more in the way of health problems, than their slightly larger cousins. Being the smallest dog in the world comes with its fair share of health problems including regulating their blood sugar (hypoglycemia), dehydration, and respiratory problems. They will need extra care and special attention especially as puppies and should always be checked out by a licensed veterinarian for thyroid and liver problems. If you are looking for a teacup chihuahua don't always listen the breeder or the seller. Many times Chihuahua sellers will claim to have puppies for sale. The fact is, no one can tell whether a puppy less than 10 weeks old will be a teacup size or not. Checking to see if the puppies parents are teacup wont work either. It is nearly impossible to determine if a chihuahua is going to be a teacup based on the size of their parents.

Are teacup kittens real?

The term "teacup" is a marketing tool referring to really small, and often unhealthy cats and kittens. These are often sold at much higher prices than "regular" kittens. They are the result of unethical breeders breeding from unhealthy, deformed and undersized cats to produce what they call teacup cats. They are bred with no concerns to their health or temperament. No Cat Breed Association recognises "teacup" cats. There are such a thing as Dwarf cats, which is due to a genetic mutation. The Munchkin breed was created by a naturally occurring genetic mutation that results in cats with abnormally short legs. These are not the same as teacup cats.
