I do have to agree. Sometimes breeders use the words as a definition, not trying to sell more. I trust my breeder A LOT and she advertised "teacups" -- Tia isn't going to be under 6 pounds (I don't think anyway) and my breeder made no promises on sizes on any of her puppies, and recommended Tia for me because she was one of her larger puppies. She told me the weight of the parents and all her dogs were well taken care of.

So, again, I do agree that we can't make a blanket statement that all breeders who use the term teacup equate to dishonest, disreputable people. My opinion, of course.
