How small are teacup puppies generally?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a teacup or toy Schnauzer!! This is just breeders trying to get more money for breeding runts to runts. This increses health problems in the puppies and decreases life span. You should never breed a runt to a runt.

Answer 2

The word "Teacup" has been used for years to merely describe the size of a puppy. Meaning it is very small and will probably be under the standard size which is 4 to 7 pounds for the toy group. Generally "Teacup" puppies are 2 to 4 pounds.

Answer 3

This is not true. I am not a breeder. Your information is incorrect. How do you think Standard and mini schnauzer started. Breeding the giant schnauzer until a smaller schnauzer was breed and this became the standard schnauzer. Then they breed the standard schnauzer until a smaller size schnauzer was breed and this became mini schnauzer. Some breeders are breeding smaller schnauzers called toy and teacups and they do exist with high price tags.

Answer 4

Teacup dogs are usually 3-4 pounds in adulthood.

Answer 5

A teacup dog is any toy dog that is smaller than the standard. However, most breeds that are usually found as teacup dogs are Maltese, Pug, Shih Tzu, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, for examples.
