Dogs: the Truth about Teacup Breeds

You’re always hearing somebody talk about Teacup dogs and how they’d love to have one of these pets, but is there really such a breed in the canine world?

The term 'Teacup' is not recognized or endorsed by any of the major Canine Associations such as the AKC (American Kennel Club) or the British KC (Kennel Club). It’s purely a descriptive term for a Toy dog which might, or might not, be smaller than the official size standard. Whether or not this term is recognized by the various Associations, people obviously like using it and the phrases Teacup dog and Teacup puppy are here to stay!
