Teacup puppies???????????

Question

How big do teacup poodles and teacup malteses get? Whats the normal price range?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a Teacup, Mini, Micro or Pocket Size anything. These are just terms that irresponsible backyard breeders use,  that don't care anything about their dogs welfare use, when they breed one runt to another runt. Runts are the smallest dogs in the litter, and should never, under any circumstances, ever be bred. It' just too dangerous and life threatening. Standard size dogs, in the Toy Group are small enough. Get a standard size, because if you get anything smaller, they are going to end up having serious medical issues!

Answer 2

Not big enough to be healthy. Why would you pay an insane price for a sickly runt? There's no such thing as teacups, the smallest breed standard recognized is toy. Teacup is just a fancy name backyard breeders have given the tiny, sickly offspring of the runts they breed together.

Answer 3

How big do runts get? That all depends on how badly they were bred and how unhealthy they are when you buy them. As for the normal price range - who knows? After the initial couple thousand to buy the dog you'll have to add up all the money you're going to have to dish out for the countless of health problems a "teacup" anything is going to have.
