Q: What is a toy puppy?

Q: Are teacup puppies sickly and unhealthy?

A: This is a very common misconception, but the answer is no.  They are, however, equivalent to newborn babies and require a lot more care and attention than your average sized puppy. Because of their tiny size and delicate nature, their immune systems can be compromised, so you need to be a little more careful in what they come into contact with and how they are handled. As they get older, their immune systems grow stronger and they are just as healthy as any other dog. All of our puppies have been checked by a licensed veterinarian and come with a clean bill of health. We also require all of our customers to sit through an orientation in which we educate them on the health and caring for your teacup or toy sized puppy.

Q: What is the average lifespan of a teacup or toy sized puppy?A: The average lifespan is actually 12 to 16 years for a teacup or toy sized dog--actually longer than larger breeds of dogs!

Q: What are the prices of your puppies?

A: Each puppy is priced individually according to breed and size. Toys usually start around $950 and up. Teacups/Pocket Puppies start around $1495 and up. If you are interested in a particular puppy, please call for more information.

Q: Do you ship your puppies?

A: No, we do not ship our puppies. The reason for this is no matter what shipping method a breeder may use, it is still much too stressful and frightening for such a delicate puppy to have to experience alone. For our Teacup and Pocket puppies we personally fly out to our select breeders and drive them back ensuring their proper care throughout the trip.   We also prefer to meet our customers in person, so we can sit through orientation together and feel 100% confident that they are fully educated by the time they walk out of our store.

Q: Where do you get your puppies?

A: Our puppies come from USDA licensed and regulated breeders across the United States. Specific breeder information is given to the customer at the time of orientation. All of our pure bred puppies come with registration papers, and most with pedigrees.

Q: How old are your puppies?

A: Our puppies vary in age, but must be at least 8 weeks old before arriving in our care. Most puppies are ready to go after being checked by a veterinarian, but sometimes the tiny ones must stay a bit longer, so we can make sure they develop good eating habits.
