Teacup chihuahua is a commonly used term in the world of chihuahua breeding. What exactly does the term teacup chihuahua mean and is it a legitimate term for characterizing a specific type of chihuahua? Much controversy exists over this term, so let’s get the chihuahua facts!
The term teacup chihuahua is mainly an American term. It’s often used to refer to the size of a chihuahua and shouldn’t be used to categorize a specific type of chihuahua as you would reference a short-haired vs a long-haired chihuahua or a deerhead chihuahua vs an applehead chihuahua.
Most chihuahua puppies are born teacup-sized, but they usually grow out of it. It is important to note that chihuahuas of this size must be handled delicately and dressed accordingly with the proper chihuahua clothes to keep them warm and properly shielded.
Many prospective chihuahua buyers are also unaware of the fact that if a chihuahua puppy isn’t nourished properly from birth, they will not grow to their full potential. This undernourishment will keep a chihuahua puppy from growing to their full potential as they reach adulthood.
This is also why it is very important to ask a chihuahua breeder what they are feeding their pups and for you to do your research as to what required nutrients your chihuahua will need once you bring them home. Not all pet food guarantees your chihuahua proper nourishment.
Teaka the famous chihuahua was fed essential fatty acids since birth and was also given a vitamin-mineral liquid formula in her water dish to ensure she was getting optimal nourishment to grow into a healthy adult chihuahua. Essential fatty acids were key to her beautiful silky smooth coat.

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.

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.
this puppy is so cute never seen anything like it.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww sooooooooooo cute………………..
