I go with what my veternarian calls them and there is such thing as a teacup Chiuhuahua. Just because the AKC dont believe in calling them that it don't matter there are clubs which im in different ones that do call them teacups because of there size of 2 pds. Thank you...

There is no such thing as teacup chihuahua. That is just amarketing term poor quality breeders use to sell their deliberately bred runty pups.
However, you should have done your research. Breeding the smaller versions of the smaller breeds is very dangerous to the mom. You could kill her by trying to make her pass huge headed babies through her tiny pelvis.
If your female is very small you should spay her and never breed her again for her own safety.

No YOU need to read up on it.
The Chihuahua Club of America says:
"Unfortunately, the additional adjectives used to describe the size differences and physical appearances are many and have been misused for so long they now seem legitimate. Teacup, Pocket Size, Tiny Toy, Miniature or Standard - are just a few of the many tags and labels that have been attached to this breed over the years. The Chihuahua Club of America is concerned that these terms may be used to entice prospective buyers into thinking that puppies described in this way are of greater monetary value. They are not and the use of these terms is incorrect and misleading.
Occasionally, within a litter, there may be a puppy that is unusually small. That puppy is a small Chihuahua and any other breakdown in description is not correct. To attach any of these additional labels to a particular puppy is to misrepresent that Chihuahua as something that is rare or exceptional and causes a great deal of confusion among those new fanciers who are looking for a Chihuahua.
The Chihuahua Club of America does not endorse nor condone the use of any of these terms and would caution the perspective puppy buyer not to be misled by them."

Funny how so many people who know nothing about Chihuahuas claim there aren't any! Stick by your guns, kiddo. And every one is precious to the max! We used to raise standard Chihuahuas and they usually had only 2 pups; occasionally three. Sometimes they'd surprise us.
The Teacup dogs can actually be placed in a coffee cup.
I can fully understand your excitement!

There is no such thing as a teacup chihuahua. It's just a runt.
