this is mainly an american term. teacup chihuahuas are just very small chihuahuas usually under 3lbs in weight. they are not a different strain of chihuahua.
if you are told by a breeder that they breed only this type of chihuahua be suspicious, it could be a teacup chihuahua scam - they are probably seeking to ask a higher price for their pups. remember the smaller the chihuahuas, the more health problems you are likely to encounter unlike larger healthier chihuahuas.

I used to have a dog like that once… it died. I went to one of my concerts once, and I was judged as not very enthusiastic. But, your dog is soooo awesome! Watch it.. I might just steal it! Oh, I was just kidding! Sooooo, cute… you might end up in my “myspace” little chihuahua!!! That Chris Brown is cute!!!

Hello, my name is Paula. I am the real owner of this puppy. I am a Chihuahua breeder with a good reputation. I do not only sell puppies in the USA, but also in Europe and all around the world. These foreign clients travel to the USA specially to pick up my puppies. This picture is being used without my permission or my authorization.
My Chihuahuas are registered as Chihuahuas, but all breeders use different terms for different sizes.
All my adult dogs are less than 3 lbs., some even less than 2 lbs. and they are 100% healthy, so that is a lie.
A sick puppy can be obtained when the two parents are related. When you don’t take care or have the hygiene required.

I bought a ‘teacup’ chihuahua that was about the same size as the one pictured (fitted in my hand). There is no such thing as a teacup http://www.famouschihuahua.com/chihuahua-breeders/teacup-chihuahua-scam/
When I bought mine home from a reputable breeder he went into seizures. After talking with the doc (after the 2nd ER visit) turned out that he was too small to be sold and lectured me on the terms Teacup, Minis and what not. I had to do 2 hr feedings around the clock for 3 weeks, took my pup with me to work and kept his kennel warm at a constant 80 degrees in the winter due to his body temp dropping and going into seizures (apparently too small to have any fat to provide internal warmth). Fortunately he grew to a healthy 4lbs and is active and playful. Just very painful to watch his episodes when I was not aware of small chihuahua health issues. He came from healthy parents-he was just too too small. If ANYONE wants a small sized chi PLEASE read up first just in case.
