Looking for a teacup Chihuahua?

Many people ask: "Are your puppies 'teacups'?" The short answer is "no". There is no official definition of a "tiny," "teacup" or "micro" puppy. These are made-up terms for marketing purposes only. A "teacup" is something to drink out of.  Chihuahuas are part of the "toy" breed. We do not attempt to breed for puppies smaller than 3 pounds, as they tend to have more health problems. Our puppies are sturdy and healthy -- not fragile. Our average puppies weigh 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 pounds full grown, sometimes larger but rarely smaller than 4lbs.

If you are searching for a "teacup," we encourage you to search the terms "teacup myths" on the internet and educate yourself, to learn about the potential health problems these small pups tend to have. It's true they are cute, but we believe it is far better to have a sturdier, healthy puppy than a fragile extra small one.
