Teacup is just a money hype term often used to sell regular-sized puppies too but they are rehomed so early at 5 and 6 weeks they are still quite small. Others truly do deal in the misery of breeding undersized, fragile dogs for the purpose of producing severely undersized dogs for more money, as many women will pay a lot more $$$ for a very undersized dog. BYB'er's, some show breeders or uneducated breeders might breed for an abnormally tiny litter so they can charge more money. So the term teacup doesn't automatically mean puppymill to me personally.
