What's the difference from a micro teacup chihuahua and a teacup chihuahua?

Question:

Answer: There is no such thing as a "toy chihuahua", "teacup chihuahua", "micro teacup chihuahua", etc. There is only "chihuahua". Here is ACK's breed standard for chihuahuas: http://www.akc.org/breeds/chihuahua/ By the breed standard, they should not exceed 6 pounds in weight. They are already the smallest breed of dog, they don't need to be any smaller! These "toy" and "teacup" dogs are often the runts and are more prone to health problems. The Chihuahua Club of America does not condone the practice of "toy", "teacup", "mini", etc., chihuahuas. http://www.chihuahuaclubofamerica.com/teacup.htm
