The Toy group of dog breeds in the American Kennel Club (AKC) consists of small breed dogs. They are primarily bred to be just pets, unlike the working and herding groups of dogs. Most of the breeds range in size from 6 to 20 pounds. While most toy breeds are small, some breeders have gone to the extra small versions of those breeds. The most common term used for those tiny versions are Teacup, because as a puppy they will fit into a teacup.
You can find puppies for sale around the world that are teacups, not just in the USA. The most common breeds that are bred extra small are Pomeranians, Poodles, Chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers. One of the main reasons for this trend is the popularity of celebrities seen with their dogs when out shopping. The next main reason is that many families lack large yards for the larger dog breeds and toy breeds offer the same amount of love in less space.
