I get asked this question too, often. Remy is a little over 3lbs. When someone asks the question I know is coming, "Oh, is that a teacup?" I say, "Nope, she was the runt!". Well, because, she was!
Her parents were both around 5lbs, her brother and sister both outsized her - she's just little!

I've tried to explain that there is no such thing as a Teacup... people just want to believe what they want to believe I guess.

One time though, I felt horrible. I was in Petsmart and a woman was holding what looked to be a 15lb silky/yorkie mix, perhaps? It had the face of a silky, and was a very pretty, adorable dog!!

I was holding Remy and she said, "Oh! You have a teacup!" Uhhhh... I said, "No, I have a runt!", as I laughed. She looked very sad for me, and said, "Oh, I'm sorry."
She then said she had recently gotten her dog and was promised a *teacup*. She went on to explain that she paid a fortune for the dog and was told that she was apparently doing something wrong - feeding too much, and that is why her dog grew so large! She was searching for a diet food to put it on

I didn't know what to say except that I thought her dog was beautiful just the way it was.

The information is out there... why do people not educate themselves? It makes me sad.
