Gerbil?
Hamster?
You probably mean a Chihuhua?
Quality dogs are expensive to buy and raise. The breeder has to pay for a stud fee, health exams and tests for canine VD. Because of their big heads, Chihuahua pups often have to be delivered by an expensive c-section. The pups then need food and shots and worming and lots of care for eight weeks. One of my breeder friends once calculated that she made less than $1.85 per hour after expenses!
All dogs cost money to take care of. A good pup can cost $1000 or more. Puppy shots are another $200, then $100 a year. Annual Heartworm test and preventative medication $100. Professional trainer $600 and up. Going on vacation? Boarding kennel $40/day. Spaying? $250. If you can't afford to pay for a good dog, maybe you can't afford to maintain one either?
Dogs are terrific companions but they require training and discipline and exercise. A dog the size of a Chihuahua has to go out every four to six hours - the smaller the dog, the more often they have to go out. Chihuahuas live 14 -17 years. Paying $1200 for a pup means that the dog cost you less than $100 a year - is that really too much???
Chihuahuas can be great dogs, but they can also be yappy, nippy, dominant little horrors that never get housebroken. If the dog bites someone, you could be sued. You need to let them walk on all fours and train them just like any other dog.
If you can't afford a really good dog right now, get a rabbit or a guinea pig - they're friendly, easy to keep, live in a cage, and don't have to be walked or trained.

Not sure what you mean. Chihuahuas are the samllest breed. Some call the tiny ones Teacup Chihuahuas, but they are just Chihuahuas. Some Yorkies are really small.
Prairie dogs are not dogs, that is just a name. Maybe that is what you mean?

There is no such thing as a "t-cup, teacup" you are probably talking about a chihuahua, but remember the smaller the more care it needs. They get sicker faster and are very fragile.

The prairie dog answer was good. They are so cute and small. Maybe the dog your looking for is a mini dachshund the puppies are really small and if you found a runt it would be extremely small.
