The breeder gave me a teacup to keep her in when I got her. But if she grows anymore she won't be able to fit!
How can I keep her small?
Should I sue the breeder if she so big she's just a normal dog instead of a teacup dog? I'll no longer have a special teacup dog! It will just be... normal!
How will I attract celebrities and hot boys with a dog that won't even fit in a teacup!?!?

OMG! What a drag! Is she still cute?
Have you thought about getting a purse? She's still purse-sized, isn't she?
You can always wear her as a pendant or a bracelet or use her as a wine glass ring or decorative winestopper.
Don't give up hope! Hang around the larger celebs and hot boys and she'll look smaller. It's all relative you know.

I've never gotten anything "teacup" but my husband's aunt purchased a so-called "teacup" Chihuahua. My husband's family had a Chihuahua that was probably 5-6 pounds. He fell into the standards, but his bite was off. The aunt purchased two Chihuahua puppies at the same time. One was supposed to be a teacup. It grew way larger than the other pup. The teacup was probably 15-18 pounds. The other Chihuahua was probably 10-12. The family adored the dogs, one passed from the tainted dog food several years back. The other lived about 2 years longer. The dogs were probably 12-14 years old. The family joke about the teacup dog was that it was a "washtub hound". Honestly, knowing what I do now about the severe health problems with the "micro" undersized dogs, I really think the larger sized dogs were ultimately healthier even though not in breed standard. The dogs were well-cared for, lived in the house and had a fenced, safe yard. Husband's family's Chihuahua lived to be around 14.

Oh dear! Sue the breeder, get your money back, demand a smaller puppy! Whip the puppy until it LEARNS it has to stay small! If that doesn't work, buy a new teacup! Stupid breeder, stupid puppy, they ruined your life because the puppy didn't fit into the teacup!
PS I wasn't being rude, just being on the most-likely expected sarcastic side.

Okay girlfriend, this happened with my Teacup Cavayorkicockapoo so I can TOTALLY relate. She started getting NORMAL SIZED and I thought to myself I paid $5000 for this puppy, I'm not going to let her become like one of those normal ugly dogs!
All you need to do is cut back on her food intake to maybe about ten pieces of kibble a day. Then, stop taking her for walks so she doesn't build muscle and get hold of a small box. It should be just a little smaller than her, then SQUEEEEEEZE her in there and leave for a couple of weeks. When you take her out she will be tiny enough to fit in her teacup again!!!
Good luck with the boyz!!

Hahahaha...yeah, you should sue the breeder for selling you an obviously "defective" teacup puppy!!
And make sure to throw the actual teacup at her when you see her in court!!!
I feel your pain..what a shame to spend $2000+ for a tiny, probably unhealthy, dog, just with a special marketing term for a name.
Teacup should be banned from all breeder's vocabulary!

LMAO!!! I had the same problem!!! My ultra itty bitty teeny weeny teacup chihuahua outgrew the frilly pink wallet that she came in. This is unexceptable. According to what the breeder said our dogs should be no more than 5 inches!! Whatever will we do?! If I were you I would sue the breeder for all they've got!!! I mean seriously....saying something is teacup when it's actually not!!! Oh how far will these people sink? So full of lies!!
I'm not sure how to shrink her, but you better think fast before all of those hotties see your normal sized dog. We can't have that!!! :) LOL nice

obviously you have to stop feeding her right away because food=growth. From now on you have to make her sleep in a tea cup so her body will mold into the teacup. If this doesn't work then sue the breeder.

ROTFLMFAO! Let's see, I may just have to agree, you might have the Coffee cup poodle. They are the latest fad. Why don't you just breed her to some **** Zu and you can have a Coffe Cup Sh*t-Poo, LOL. Then come back on here when they get stuck together and when you want to know when she is pregnant and so forth :) We'll be more than happy to give you all the advice you want, LOL... (To clarify, for those who don't get it, I am being Sarcastic)
ANNE B: I think that was shrinky dinks (I could be wrong)
Everyone's responses are awesome!
I can't believe that people are taking you seriously too. To F**k*ng funny!
P.S. Some people need to get a sense of humor :D

Didn't you know that men like big jugs for their dogs, not teacups? I think that letter her get bigger is a good thing. Get a Jug to keep her in.
I am going into a new business.
JUG Puppies. - where you get 2 puppies in a special sling holder. They for the women who want to use their puppies to attract men. It's a whole new breeding market.
Teacups are out, Jugs are in.

ROFL so much interest in the alleged Bonsai kittens and Bonsai dogs. Yikes. Perhaps you should consult a Japanese specialist as they are experts on all that is weird and wonderful.
Thank goodness, we all know you are pulling our leg, but it sure makes for a heck of a party popper dialogue.
Love the disneyland cup as well as the coffee cups!
Definitely an 'ACE' question.

Oh, Cleo, you're at it again. Yanking the chains of the unwary.
Besides, why do you want a teacup dog? Don't you know the latest thing is the demitasse dog? About half the size of a teacup, and four times the price.
