How are teacup dogs made

The first teacups emerged as a result of a genetic mutation that was so popular that someone stabilised this mutation by breeding teacups in captivity. The Teacup was bred by American breeders and evolved into its current form. The Teacup has become the new favourite of all poodle lovers because of its small size and cuteness. The term Teacup does not refer to a single breed. There are now 5-7 stable breeds of teacups: Teacup Poodle, Teacup Yorkshire, Teacup Maltese (Maltese), Teacup Chihuahua, Teacup Pomeranian and many more. After half a century of breeding, the Teacup genetics have become relatively stable, and some breeders have set standards for what is considered to be a good Teacup if it weighs less than 4lbs and stands no more than 8 inches tall. Since the standard was set, it has become easier to distinguish the Teacup from the average Poodle.
