SOME breeders know the word,"teacup" also spells $$$$. It is a shame. You
should be paying for a chi with a healthy linage, not size.Alot of people are
gullable.

ROFL... I love the "teacup great dane"statement. My best friend has a
couple of great danes (ok she has more then a couple of dogs... she has
2 great danes, an english mastiff, a bull mastiff and a st. bernard)...
I see ads around here all the time listing "teacups"... A lady down the
street from me just got a little girl that is only 2lbs full grown... to
breed. She said she paid $2500 because it is a "rare teacup". I just
wish people would take the time to research a breed before getting one.
Both AKC and the Chihuahua Club of America state that there is no
classification for "teacup". Besides the fact I wouldn't think you
would want to breed a little that is that small.
