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.

Didn’t you just tell everyone that there is NO SUCH THING as a teacup chihuahua. Egads….and yet, right there in the comments, breeders saying they breed teacup chihuahuas Now wonder the shelters are teeming with unwanted dogs…people want fashion dogs and when the supposed teacup grows too big, they are dumped. GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I have a 5 month tea cup chihuahua hes the most cutest little playful thing ever nd i am a high school student all i ever do is always just be with him his name is (chewy) i always find out something new on him but i don’t what kind of sick symptoms their are so now and then i check on him bit if you feel kust as concern as i do time to time yuu het him/her check at the vet’s.
i want the one in the second picture
teacups are the cutest things ever but when thinking about buying one, it is really important that you should research a bit on them. my puppy diamond was only 4 months and he passed away two days ago because of genetic birth defects. it is so heartbreaking him not being here anymore. i just want people to know that these little guys are very fragile and they need to be attended to at all times.
chihuahuas bark, but are very sweet pets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi My name is April. I have a chihuahua named Suzie. But she is not a tea cup. I want a teacup chihuahua. My chihuahua has diabetes. She loves me so much and I love her. She follows me where ever I go. She hates to be in a cage though. She loves to sleep.
My long hair chihuahua just had puppies…four to be exact but one was stillborn. The remaining pups are all boys and one is so small. The other one’s are three times the size of this one. My question is, could that be a teacup chihuahua? Someone told me that teacup pups can’t just be born from any chihuahua that they are a special breed. As a matter of fact the picture you have on top holding the pup in your hand is exactly the way my pup looks. My husbands wants to sell it but I am trying to convince him to keep it especially if it is a teacup. They are so adorable.
She has bad leg and can barely walk on it. When i play with her she will start to run but has to stop and starts to look like she is going to puke she dosent though. I feel SSSOOO BBBAAADDD for her she should not have to deal with that poor thing. : (
She is the cutest little sweet heart ever!!!! ; )
I have a chihuahua. Her name is Chloe. She is 2 now and still as playfull as ever!! I got her for free because my mom’s friends were losing there house and had to move into an apartment with no pets allowed. So i decided to take her. It was not that hard to take her in and now she is part of the family. Her old owners found a place were they can have her. They want her back but that will NEVER happen.
That`s the cutest dog EVER!!!!!My fave was famous chihuaua goes crazy for ball.
it is so cute
