By many breeders, teacup puppies are produced by breeding what basically amounts to runt dogs together. Now if all that caused where extra small dogs, that'd be one thing. But there are many risks involved with breeding very small dogs, to both the mother dog and to the puppies. The mother dogs, often times being very tiny themselves, commonly have difficulties carrying and delivering puppies. Common health issues in so called teacup puppies include things like liver shunts, hypoglycemia, heart problems, open soft spots on the skull, collapsing trachea, seizures, respiratory problems, digestive problems, blindness, and the list goes on. Many of these issues are life threatening and very expensive to treat. Teacup puppies, because they are so small and frail, are also prone to breaking bones even while preforming normal activities (such as jumping, playing, or running) that would present little to no danger to a normal puppy.
