HEALTH: Alot of people have the mistaken idea that teacup poodles are not healthy. While it is true that some teacup poodles can have health problems, if a teacup is bred from a healthy line, and bred from a line that is specifically bred to be small, then they can be just as healthy as any other size dog. Sometimes a puppy will be born extra small out of a litter of regular or miniature size poodles that have all regular or large dogs behind them, and the breeder will call this a teacup. But the real reason that the pup is tiny, is because they have something wrong with them that keeps them from growing to normal size. This pup might be sickly, or will have numerous health problems, or might even seem to be healthy, but only lives for a short time or a few years. This is not a true teacup poodle! This is just an unhealthy pup! This is where alot of people mistakenly get the idea from, that teacup poodles are not healthy. That is why it is so important to purchase a teacup poodle from an experienced breeder that has the knowledge to know the difference.
