    Hi all.

    We are looking to get the above maybe next year - only researching now.

    Does anyone know anyone or any site that has them for sale?

    Waterford would be ideal.

    There is no such breed of dog as a teacup dog, what breed are you looking for?
    Avoid any adds that say teacup in the description, either they are the small runt of litters bred with other runts and frequently have health issues(often bred by puppy farms), or they are scams.
    If you want a pedigree, find a suitable breed, research any health problems and the tests the parent dogs should have and look up the IKC website, they have a list of breed clubs and phone numbers for these. The breed club can advise of any litters due.

    mymos right,no such breed as teacup dogs.

    its used to refer to puppies in the 2-4 pound range hence the name teacup puppy,due to their size,meaning their very small and under the standard size which is 4-7 pounds for the 'toy' group.their bones are very fragile and can be broken easily .if a breeder says they specialise in teacup puppies,walk away,those puppies are premature.

    theres a lot of risks involved in getting a dog that small so beware.
