Most breeders I know that use the term teacup are referring to a dog who will probably be less than 5 lbs as an adult. Some people place the cut off at 4 lbs.
That is the problem. The fact that there are no descriptions or guidelines for the term, a breeder can decide any size is a teacup and sell the puppy. I actually do know a person who offers her puppies that she says will be 5 lbs and under as t-cups. I do not know if she has any takers but odds are, she does.. |
