The words teacup, micro, tiny or mini are just terms used to describe a smaller than average toy breed dog. A toy breed dog is any dog less than 10 lbs. and the average Yorkie and Maltese weigh 6-7 lbs. at adult weight. There is no such dog classified as a teacup breed, it is not recognized by any kennel club and you will not see any show quality dogs that are that small.
