The term teacup Chihuahua is merely a marketing strategy used by breeders who want to make their Chihuahuas stand out or appear to be more rare or special than other Chihuahuas.
The term teacup refers to the size and the American Kennel Club does not recognize it as an official type of chihuahua.
The American Kennel Club is seen as the industries main source on all topics related to dogs and dog breeds. According to the American Kennel Club there are only two types of Chihuahuas - long hair and short hair.
Chihuahuas vary in size as do other dogs and living things. However, the size difference between Chihuahuas does not mean they are a different type of chihuahua.
All Chihuahuas are considered just a chihuahua, no matter their different characteristics, just as all humans are considered human despite their variances.
This is an important point to know because many people who are buying Chihuahuas see teacup Chihuahuas as something special that they are willing to pay much more money for than any other chihuahua.
Breeders have caught on to the fact that marketing a chihuahua as a 'teacup' Chihuahua makes them more valuable to buyers. So, breeders will sell the smallest pups of a litter as teacup Chihuahuas so they can earn a bigger profit.
In fact, some breeders go to extremes and breed smaller Chihuahuas simply to get a teacup chihuahua.This practice is dangerous to the dogs health and is highly discouraged.
A smart buyer will know that these smaller pups are not worth anymore than their larger counterparts and therefore will not cave to the higher price tag.
Teacup Chihuahuas are nicknamed due to their small size. Chihuahuas range from 2 to 6 pounds and those at the lower end tend to get labeled with the nickname teacup. This does not make them more valuable or rare.
