No such thing. Sorry. You won't find "teacups" in any dogs shows for a reason. You can find backyard breeders who will sell you a small dog but they have health problems. For life. Small tiny dogs are sick. That's why they are so small. Robbed of nutrition when they are babies. Keeps them small. Runts.

Why do people ask for "teacups " ? As you know there is no such thing as a teacup chihuahua just another name for chihuahua . If any ads say teacup its a ripoff . Look in local ads in the newspaper or pet classifieds but becareful . Small breeds tend to be the eye for scammers today . Dont buy anything under $500 dollars . More than likely it is a ripoff if it is under $500 . But if you dont to pay so much money for a dog then adopt one . Look on Petfinder.com to see what you can find available for adoption .

Silly girl. People are telling you the truth. Why would you want an answer that is a lie? How does that help you?
I will chime in with the rest. There is no such thing as a teacup anything, Teacup sized dogs are very poorly bred, undersized animals who develop many health problems and die early. Unethical breeders scam people out of their money by calling them teacups. If that is what you want, you are not very bright.

Don't take this answer the wrong way. But why would you spend 200 dollars on supplies before you even have a dog?
You don't even seem to know where to look for one.
It seems as though you want a dog that you can carry around like some American celebrities do. That is no reason to get a dog.
The other answerer's are right. Teacup is not recognized except as being a little dog that will most likely have health problems.
Good luck to you, but I would look into my local shelter for a small dog that will love you forever. ( and all the accessories.)

By AKC standards they aren't called teacups but that doesn't mean they if they are then they are malnourished and unhealthy like others have said. I have a "teacup" chihuahua who is very healthy. If you do get one make sure he comes from a very loving home. I would go to the home and inspect. I would also definitely look at the parents. Check out the conditions to make sure you aren't buying from some puppy mill, backyard breeder,etc. I don't know how much you are looking to spend or if you are looking for long haired or smooth coat but I bought mine for $400 from a lady in Defuniak Springs. I found her on puppyfind.com. She has 2 long haired "teacups" left for $500. She is very reputable. You can also check out pupcoutureofnaples.com. Her dogs are alittle more on the expensive side ($2000-$3500) side but she is also very reputable. If you do decide to get one be very careful with it. These smaller ones need alot of love and care because they are so tiny and can become very sick. A good product to purchase is NurtiCal because they tend to be hypoglycemic and ask the vet on a good nutritional food for the puppy. I use Hill Science Diet. Good luck on your find. I'm sure you will love your new addition.

There is no way to possibly answer this question, without telling you that there is no such dogs as the ones that you are looking for.. They are MERELY small dogs ( over bred ) by puppymills and backyard breeders.. Runt to runt to runt to runt.. with no regards to health, temperament or anything else other than the small size.. You will need health insurance, cause you will have a small but very sickly little dog..
Why would one waste money on supplies when they are going to waste more on a dog that's not even going to last but a couple of years.. Might as well just buy paper plates.. use a string for a leash and collar and an old pillow for dog bed.. You are supporting puppymills and backyard breeders by buying into their marketing schemes..

"teacup" is a term used by back yard breeders and millers for underbred, unhealthy runts. Anyone advertising "teacup" anything is a breeder to run from. They are not breeding for healthy, quality, or soundness! Many of these breeders actually use females that are larger than standard for breeding to avoid the cost of cecarian, and put a "teacup" label on the pups so you think you are getting a teeny dog. I dont know anyone who will guarantee adult size. All Yorkie and Chi puppies fit inside a tcup!
A standard size Chi is under 6 pounds, that is already small! A average size for pom is 3-7 pounds. Look for a reputable show breeder and you are guaranteed to get a small dog!
Try www.akc.org and use them for a breeder referral. You can also search for the breed's parent club and get a referral from them.

It is true. There is no such thing as a "Teacup" dog. Visit www.AKC.org and try to find a toy dog that is called a "Teacup". all the toy dogs are classified with there size of the breed. There is a low weight and a high weight of what is considered the breed standard. If the weight range is lower than the low weight then the dog is not considered as part of the "Breed Standard" of that breed.

Have you read you local newspaper classifieds? There are usually a million listings. If you live in a smaller city, try reading the listings for the closest large city. Just be careful in buying a dog labelled as a teacup. Sometimes the breeder try to give you the dog before it is fully weened and tell you its older. Try to get references and pictures of some of the full grown previous litters. I have a lil chi- she was labelled as teacup; I fell for the not weened scam. I love my pup all the same. Good luck.

Please go to petfinder.com. There are OVER 5000 Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes up for adoption all over the country.
It is true that there is no such thing as a breed of teacup chihuahuas. There are larger chihuahuas and smaller chihuahuas. If you are looking for a smaller one, then ask around at several shelters and ask what size their chihuahuas are.
Enter your own zip code in the search criteria to find chihuahuas near you.
