Toy Poodle Forum:
Teacup Black Puppy

I have a Black female tiny toy. At 4 mts she weighs 2# 1.0z

There is no such thing as a "tea cup" or a "tiny toy". those terms do not exist in ANY breed including Poodles.

Yes, I know that AKC does not recognize "T-cup" or "Tiny Toy". My dogs are Registered as Toy Poodles.My dogs are not the size of "toy's". I have one that is 1 year old that weight 2lbs. and stands 5in. Most people realize that when you call them T-Cups or Tiny Toys that they will not be as big as the "toy"

You are correct in that many people refer to them as "t-cup" or other names other than "Toy". In my experience people presenting these dogs as "T-cup" usually do not know the difference (why are they breeding if they don't know the breed standard) and are trying to make the dog appear extra special along with costing extra dollars. Toy Poodles are defined as "anything under 10 inches at the withers" but I am sure you knew that seeing as you say you breed "show quality" dogs.

I am Well aware of the "Toy Breed Standard" My "smaller then standard toys" were and are bred to be smaller.I call them T-cups or Tiny Toys Regardless what their Registration says,(which does say Toy). People who know me are aware when I advertise my Puppies for sale by how they are advertised.(T-Cup or Tiny Toy) I Do Breed Show Quality Champion Miniatures......!!
