For a quick explanation, I just say "there is no such thing as a teacup, the AKC breed standard is up to 7 pounds." It's quick and to the point. If they seem interested, I'll let them know it's just a sales gag.

I love the teacups have handles and saucers response - lol!

Definitely let them know that handling her is a no-no. Mia is very shy around people, and I let them know in no uncertain terms that they are not to try to handle her, nor my other babies. Be polite about it, most people will back off. If they don't, pick her up yourself. If they're grabbing her out of your arms, turn you body so they can't reach her. They should get the point (hopefully).
