We've actually been attacked when trying to educate people over it. Someone told me I need to "educate" myself because there is such a thing as a teacup hahaha Come come now Lucy, don't you know? THERE ARE TEACUPS! GET SOME EDUMIFICATION! LOL. its nice I bring Leah to the office and everyone asks if shes a teacup and i get to explain. SO like 4 people a day at least learn...There are no teacups!

Ugh. I know, I really hate it too. The whole celebrity thing has been detrimental as well. It's brought the wrong kind of attention to the breed and attracted the wrong people. Now you have people wanting them because they think they are a cute, little dog I can dress up and carry around as a cute accessory, and then they often end up in shelters when the novelty wears off. It's truly so awful and breaks my heart. I know! Its like, when they realise that yes, they are in fact dogs who need to be walked, given attention and who you have to pick up poop after, they suddenly decide that owning a chihuahua is not for them! Oh and what happens when their teacup pup grow up to be 8lbs? Yep, people don't want them. Its so sad

LOL...Kristi you're too funny. Love your terms. ;D
I get asked if I have "teacups" & people always look at me like I'm growing an extra head because I say there is no teacup Chihuahua & that the breed standard is between 2-6lbs. Then again I've had people "assume" Mari is 2lbs or something insane like that. haha
