Care Of Your Teacup Puppy
| There is a lot to consider before buying a teacup size poodle. American Kennel Cub (AKC) only recognizes three sizes: Standard - over 15 inches at the shoulder, Miniature- between 10 and 15 inches at shoulder, and Toy- 10 inches and under so all Teacup and Tiny Toys are registered as Toy size. Poodle breeders have their own standards. Most generally the rule is under 8 inches and 4 lbs. and under. Believe me a four LB dog is SMALL. Another thing you might not realize about the teacup size is that they are the smallest babies of the litter. It is almost impossible to tell which babies will stay teacup or smaller size when they are first born and when we can finally estimate a size it is only educated guess. A lot depends on parents, grandparents and earlier siblings. The smaller the puppy the more attention it needs. I can tell you it is a 24-hour/7 day a week commitment for us but these beautiful babies are worth every moment it takes. I don't believe there is any thing as adorable as a teacup size dog. These ultra small bodies pack in so much love and commitment. These babies were meant to be companions- they just live to be with you! (And they fit nicely in a large handbag) You must be very careful because tiny bones could break from a fall or jump. Something a low as your couch could seem as high as a mountain when you are 6" tall, another concern is keeping the little ones from being stepped on. If you have small size children or just very active kids you would be better off with a larger size puppy. Another thing you need to do is to watch closely for signs of low blood sugar or dehydration; you have to be sure your baby eats often because it can hold only a small amount at a time. You will need to make sure she eats and drinks regularly, no matter what it takes to get her interested! The smaller the size of puppy - the more the price. If you haven't given up yet then "Congratulations!" You will make a great parent for a micro sized baby! Now for the best news. These babies are bred to be extra sweet and loving! We have only what we believe is the best healthy, happy, loving and beautiful for our moms and dads. We have tiny dads that come from even smaller dads so we produce some pretty small babies. Teacups like all poodles must be groomed. Regular hair brushing plus trips to the groomer for frequent trims is absolutely necessary. It’s important to keep ears clean and toenails clipped. Your groomer will take care of that for you. Another important task is brushing your teacups teeth. I had a problem finding a tiny dog toothbrush so I use an infant size. Very small dogs have trouble regulating their temperatures. You’ll want to make sure your baby doesn't get excessively hot or cold. An average teacup lives 12-15 years So your baby will be with you for a long time! With love and care you should have a special companion for a long time!
