ROFL... I love the "teacup great dane"statement. My best friend has a couple of great danes (ok she has more then a couple of dogs... she has 2 great danes, an english mastiff, a bull mastiff and a st. bernard)... I see ads around here all the time listing "teacups"... A lady down the street from me just got a little girl that is only 2lbs full grown... to breed. She said she paid $2500 because it is a "rare teacup". I just wish people would take the time to research a breed before getting one. Both AKC and the Chihuahua Club of America state that there is no classification for "teacup". Besides the fact I wouldn't think you would want to breed a little that is that small.
