teacup? sorry no such thing… it is animal abuse. it is breeding smallest with smallest over and over again until these poor things are so tiny they have a hard time living. don’t be brainwashed by how”cute” it is. get a mouse instead. why support people who intentionally do what is wrong for $$$??? they all have health problems and shorter lives. imagine how tiny the heart of a “teacup chiahuhua” is? probably the size of the pinky fingernail on a small child. what are people breeding dogs for anyway? when 40,000 dogs and cats are killed daily? what’s wrong with a chiahuhua from the shelter? the novelty wears off for people and they get dumped at the shelter. there are so many chiahuhua’s at the shelters. please people… stop supporting these freaks who are not interested in the wellbeing of the animals…only money. it’s disgusting and heartbreaking…

Wow! they are so cute! I love the chihuahua. because of all, they make me happy even in the tiring day. I remember my 1st chihuahua she died and I remember that time, It's so hard to move on and I'm talking the pet cremation dallas on the phone while I'm crying. I'm happy because I'm so happy now and thank you also to the PET LOSS CENTER for helping me.

New Mexico CC there is Lapdog Rescue and a Chihuahua Rescue both great organizations and not near as expensive and are ethical unlike breeders in New Mexico, plus you can tell shelters to let you know when a Chi comes in. I have a 5 lb Chi and a 7 pound Chi/ terrier mix and they are good dogs. You have to watch out for them because of their size, tbey can get hurt easily.

Hi Michelle. I want one about that size. 2 pounds sounds exactly what I need for my small apartment living. Will it stay two pounds? Anyway how should I look for a breeder that I will know is reputable?

People always ask me if Matilda is a teacup, but she’s really a chihuahua-minpin from a friend of a friend’s litter, and seems like she’s one of the smallest in her family. I’m not sure if she was well nourished as a baby, but while I’m glad to have her just as she is, I’d never want a dog smaller than her – 5 pounds and she’s delicate, though surprisingly strong.

Thank you! The term “teacup” drives me crazy. I have a true 2 lb, 4 yr old and i am constantly asked if she is a teacup and the answer is no as there is no such thing! She is a smooth coat chihuahua, period!

A tea cup is nothing more than the runt LOl. I have 9 chihuahuas 5 of them are rescues and 3 of those came from people who were told they would be tea cups all weigh over 12 pounds lol. Don’t buy RESCUE!” —

This comment is an example of when the use of a simple comma would have made a world of difference. The last sentence says: ‘Don’t buy RESCUE’…. When it should read: ‘Don’t buy, RESCUE’.

i wanted a small companion after loosing my best friend who was like my brother. My boyfriend at the time was against it due to my mental status. Got me a new boyfriend and by accident was given a teacup. abused by some high school kids she and another puppy were thrown out of a car. they are in jail, I was so happy to have her, but she has a lot of health problems, she’s my everything. sadly I have decided that if I don’t get a better job I will have to give her to my ex mother in law who is so wonderful at raising chihuahuas. I really have no business trying to keep her if i can not keep up her financial needs. I had no idea I could be so happy again just by being her dog parent. so for those of you who think having a teacup chihuahua is just so cute, please reconsider your wants if you don’t or can’t afford it don’t set yourself up for heartbreak. its my understanding that the average life expectancy is 3-5 yrs. but if you have the time money and can deal w the short time of loving one of these precious special amazing little creatures then bless you

There is no such thing as teacup chihuahuas! Shannon is right! They’re prone to health problems and live shorter lives than a regular chihuahua. Why breed them? Its so sad people do that and sad that people buy them. Its better to have a healthy normal sized chihuahua than a smaller one which is promoting bad health. Youre only setting yourself up for more problems down the road. Yes they’re cute with how much smaller they are, but get your heads straight. Each to their own.
