is there such athing as a teacup chihuahua?

No, there is no such thing. There are only long and short hair chihuahuas. "Teacup" is a term that unscrupulous breeders use to sell their runts for more money. They have no idea how big they'll really grow anyway...I've seen so called teacups reach 7lbs. Chihuahuas are supposed to weigh between 2-6lbs...you can't get much smaller than that.

The names T-cup, micro, tiny toy or micro mini are being used by several breeder to try and sell what the public wants. The Chihuahua is the worlds smallest dog, but people always want smaller. So they have been bred down in size. Often (not always) in the process of down breeding, health issues will become more pronounced.

Most Chihuahua weigh between 4 and 6 lb. Granted you will always have smaller or larger dogs.

THE ONLY SIZE RESTRICTION is if you intend to show you Chihuahua at an AKC sanctioned show, it can NOT weigh more than 6lb

There is no registry for a T-cup, micro, tiny toy or micro mini Chihuahua.

All Chihuahua are included in the Toy group, it has to do with the function of the dog. (They are couch potatoes) It is a Toy regardless if it weighs 2 or 20 lb.

The Toy group includes about 20 different breeds, the Chihuahua is just one of them.

There are about 8 different groups:

Sporting

Hound

Toy

Working

Non-sporting

Terrier

Herding

Misc

Each of these groups include several different breeds of dogs that specialize in that particular function.

Can you see a Chihuahua or Poodle trying to herd 30 head of cattle? But the Australian Shepherd has been bred for years to do just that job.

There really isn't a "teacup" anything. That is nothing but an adjective some use to describe size. Not a bit different than calling a Newfoundland Dog a "gentle giant"

Here is a list of breeds from "S" through "Z", see any starting with the word "Teacup"???

lengthy hair is nice but requires maintenance and u have to grow that out for a long time

Yes there is. I have a toy long haired Chi, he is the cutest thing in the world. His name is Eddie Spaghetti. His food bowl is bigger than he is. He has a blue diamond necklace and wears a pet shirt that says "A List". He is one year old and weighs just over a pound.

I prefer hair that is shoulder length or longer, And also since that men who like women are more often then not directly, they like long hair because it looks more feminine, as most males have short hair.

yes there is its a small chihuahua it can fit into the palm of ur hand.

Yes there certainly is.

yes there is. my sister has one.
