I am going to jump in here and probably get everyone mad at me here but I don't see any harm in a breeder saying she has teacup puppies. The reason breeders use this term is to let people know that their puppies are under 4 pounds. What is so bad about that? Why is it wrong to describe the size of your puppies as 'teacups'? I am not a breeder but this is how I read between the lines.
My dog is 3 lbs and the breeder where I got her from is Indiah (ExoticYorkies) from this board and she breeds small puppies. All I can say is her puppies are healthy and Niyah is very healthy at 3 lbs.
I have noticed since I have been on this board that many get upset that breeders breed smaller dogs but I don't see where this is a problem if the breeder are breeding healthy smaller dogs. I can honestly say that I didn't buy Niyah for her size. In fact, when Indiah first told me about having a 2 yr old for sale, it was through a PM and all she said that I remember is that she had a 2 yr old female dog for sale and I was totally interested before I even found out her weight. After Indiah told me her weight, it did not deter me from buying her just because she was only 3 pounds. Not once did I think the dog could be sick. I knew in my heart that she was healthy. Indiah even went out of her way to take the dog to the vet for a checkup and shots. Not too many breeders will do that with an older dog I have found.

I don't want to get banned because of my post but I feel that we ALL have the right to our opinions without being jumped on or banned for it.
