Teacup Chihuahuas for Sale

Those who want to find Teacup Chihuahuas for sale and don’t want to own a standard Chihuahua cannot be called true breed fanciers. If a dog is obtained only because of its small size, but other characteristics, such as health, personality, and trainability are not taken into consideration, it means that a small pet is bought as a matter of prestige or fashion. True breed fanciers care mostly about improving the breed and giving all Chihuahuas necessary care and love.

Teacup Chihuahuas for sale are not necessarily unhealthy but all of them were produced by unethical methods. Smaller dogs or those that have smaller ancestors in the bloodline are crossbred to other small dogs without taking into consideration their health condition. Inbreeding is often used to get very small dogs. In such cases, the offspring is often prematurely born. The puppies are usually born weak; they need special care and are prone to a number of health issues. As a rule, smaller dogs have a shorter lifespan than full-sized Chihuahuas.

It’s next to impossible to find Teacup Chihuahuas for sale in reputable kennels. True breeders care about the image of the breed and try to improve the health, personality, conformation, and other characteristics of the breed. Responsible breeders will never breed Chihuahuas for a specific purpose, such as a rare coat color or a smaller size. A smaller puppy only occasionally may be born in a reputable kennel.

A Teacup Chihuahua cannot participate in shows for purebreds, because a tiny or miniature variety of the breed is not recognized and smaller dogs cannot be registered by any kennel club or breed registry. The only purpose of miniature Chihuahuas is serving as a lap dog and family companion. Many owners of these little creatures seem to forget that they own a dog. They treat their pets like hamsters or guinea pigs, though the Chihuahua, like any other dog needs housebreaking, socialization, obedience training, and enough exercise for the body and mind. Though small and funny-looking, miniature Chihuahuas can be territorial, hyper protective, loud, disobedient, and obstinate. Teacup Chihuahuas for sale make good pets only in loving families that understand their needs and take good care for them.
