Any one know of someone selling teacups please thank you x

DO you mean in a retail outlet ? If so, there's a shop in Brimstage Craft Centre, that sells old china cups, saucers,and plates single set. Sometimes just the cup and saucer, although not very cheap.
Not sure I understand the 'pup' bit.

I think Petal wants a lab pup, either that or a packet of digestives..

They are lovely dogs, very playfull.

Teacup pups are the pups of any of the toy breeds - yorkie, chihuahua, shihtzu etc. So called as a marketting strategy to add to the cute factor and bump the price up by a couple of hundred!

I bet that gave you all a good laugh . doh Thanks very much for explaining. Why are they not called toy or miniature breeds anymore ?

Well, if you want teacups, you know where to get them. raftl

So now a toy breed dog is called a "Teacup dog"? Seems pretty silly to me,so something like a westie would presumably be a teapot dog,a labrador could be a swing bin dog and maybe a german shepherd could be a wheelie bin dog.I wonder what a Saint Bernard could be called? And don't say Rover, Zipper.

tea cup dogs are usually smaller than minature. ludwigvan a saint Bernard could be called a bin wagon

This picture from Street View is on Montgomery St. on Telegraph Hill, San Francisco. I first saw it years ago. I thought I had taken a picture, but I can't find it. The sign says "No dogs, teacup poodles O.K."

They are, in all official breeding and showing circles. The term teacup dog/pup is not recognised by any of the major canine organisations or breed societies, either here or in the USA. I believe, though am not certain, that the term originated in the States.

Teacup dogs MAY be smaller than normal for their breed, though are not always so. But again this shows a clever marketing ploy to allow breeders to not just sell pups who would normally be passed over as small and weak, and dogs who would be no good for showing as they fail to meet breed standards, but to sell them at premium prices by attaching the "teacup" label to them (can you tell I'm not a fan?!?!)

Some good info at http://www.mans-best-friend.org.uk/teacup-dogs-puppies.htm

Hmm... 'runts' wouldn't be such a good marketing ploy. I think the very small breeds can be prone to health problems? I'd be scared stiff of having a dog that small in case I trod on it or shut it in a door by accident. Something around knee height with a decent nose and tail seems more 'doggy' really.

If you're going that small, why not have a hamster? Very strokable, very much cheaper, doesn't need taking for walks, no sloppy poos, good with children etc.

Lol. Is there any room for compromise here?

Hello,

Go to the main page left hand side, you will find forum tips, go to upload pics, this should sort you out.

Posted By: derekdwc Re: wanted teacup pup - 26th Jul 2014 8:46am
You cannot load a picture bigger than 1mb (right click on an image, then left click on property and it will tell you how big it is). jpeg is usually the pic's format

google and download VSO image resizer if pic is too big this will resize it


to upload
in a reply click on FULL reply and type something in box then go to UPLOAD MANAGER click on it, there you can look for your pic(BROWSE) on your pc, find it click it then click on ADD.
Do this for each pic {(BROWSE) on your pc, find it click it then click on ADD}
You can type info about each pic in the window before you click add
