I know these people have no idea....usually they don't even know what kind of dog she is...they are usually the same people who ask "what kind of dog is that" so I don't feel there is any use in trying to set them straight on the whole "teacup" thing.

I'm going to say that most people on here know there is no such thing as a "tecup" per se but I wish people would not get so offended, specially when people here use it. It is mostly only being used as a term to describe a tiny dog.

Steping down now....
Sorry 2 more cents. LOL If we let the people know there is no such thing as a teacup and tell them why people realy use that turm then people might not go looking for one. Say you take your dog to a park. Someone comes to you and ask is that a teacup? You dont tell them there is no such thing and why.... So they think I might want a dog like that. A few weeks later they go looking for a teacup.. Now you might have just stoped one bad breeder from makeing big bucks off of someone that didnt know anybetter. Does that make any sense.
