A Teacup Chihuahua is a popular marketing term for breeders trying to make their Chihuahuas seem more unique. While Teacup may be a fitting description for small Chihuahuas, there is not really such a thing as a Teacup Chihuahua. This description simply refers to a Chihuahua that is really small. Chihuahuas can range in size from 2 lbs to 8 lbs, but smallness is not a trait that can be predictably bred (although many have tried and are still trying). It is somewhat misleading for a breeder to use the term Teacup Chihuahua as it gives the impression that they are a distinct type of Chihuahua. Just be aware that the term usually refers to a smaller than average Chihuahua. Some Chihuahuas simply turn out smaller than others, and many Chihuahuas can fit inside of a teacup, especially when they are young, but they are still just a Chihuahua.
