You don’t mention a breed here, just a size….you really should do some research, including research on the extreme health issues that show up in the teacup sized dogs. I don’t want to rain on your parade but reputable breeders do not breed teacups. There are many lovely small breeds (even tiny breeds) that are still healthy dogs, maybe we can convince you to try a regular sized chihuahua or something similar?
Manager of r... Norwalk, IA 23 posts	There is no such thing as a “tea cup” anything. If you meet someone who is selling tea cups STAY AWAY a Chihuahua is a Chihuahua a yorkie is a yorkie, a Maltese is a Maltese. There are ranges in size a Chihuahua is about 5 TO 7 lbs, a yorkie is about 5 TO 10 lbs. 10 lbs is still really small and anything under 10 lbs is really hard to house train even if your using potty pads/ litter. With dogs being bred to be under the standard you are risking someone to rip you off financially. You will pay an extreme amount for the dog and it will most likely have under developed organs that reduce the quality of life and will cost thousands of dollars in vet bills. Be careful look at all registries, there is nothing classified under tea cup.
