How Much Does A Teacup Weigh Versis A Tiny Chihuahua?

I have been breeding Chihuahuas, for a long time and I have #10 of my own. I can tell you for a fact, that there is no such thing, as a Teacup, Miniature, or Pocket Size Chihuahua. A Chihuahua is a Chihuahua, no matter what size it is. Some breeders, use these phrases as marketing tools, to describe the different sizes, that Chihuahua's come in, but these are all incorrect. The term Teacup is nothing more, than the runt of a litter being bred with another runt, to produce a smaller puppy. I myself, refuse to breed any of my runts, because it's very dangerous to the mother. There are only two types of Chihuahuas and they are Short Hair and Long Hair Chihuahuas. Chihuahuas normally weigh from 3-6 pounds. In some cases, a little heavier.

Most people do not know this but there is only one breed of chihuahua, you can breed 2 long hairs and get a short hair or other way around. You can breed 2 10lbs dogs and get a 2lbs dog dor breed 2 2lbs dogs and get a 10lbs. Yes you may have a better chance of getting a smaller dog by breeding two small dogs but there is only one breed of chihuahua. The teacup/toy is usally the runt and has a lot of health issues. Keep in mind the smaller the dog the more prone it is to health/bone/teeth problems.

Chi 5958 said it all,and a lot nicer than I ever could have.There is no teacup anything..no teacup poodles,chihuahuas,etc.I too,breed chis,and people have walked away after I try to explain this to them.She is 100% correct on everything she says.Thank you Chi 5958.

My teacup chihuahua weighs 3.3 Pd's

Their is no TEA CUP people just want more money. Anything under 3lbs is not always in good health. Chihuahuas are toys. Chihuahuas come in all different size and lbs

My chihuahua is 2.5 lbs and she was the runt not a teacup. Ppl need 2 realize this so their runts get proper care!
