The AKC only recognizes one type, a Chihuahua is a chihuahua and that's it. There is no such thing as tea cup, tiny toy, etc. a Chihuahua can range in weight from as little as 3 lbs full grown and up to 10+lbs. Chihuahua's are in the toy family because they typically weigh under 10lbs and that is what puts them in this classification. You can never tell how big or small a Chihuahua pup will be when it is mature. Breeders who sell tea cup chihuahua's are ripping you off. All Chihuahua puppies will most likely fit into a teacup when they are 6 weeks old. I have 3 Adult Chihuahua's weighing 4, 5, and 8lbs. They were each about the size of a coke can when I bought them and they all fit into the palm of my hand.
