There are two grades of this breed, like of any other breed: show quality and pet quality. Although very small dogs of this breed are very rare and expensive, they are just of a pet quality and cannot be registered by the AKC and other organizations. There is no distinction within this breed based on the size of the dogs and teacup creatures should not be bred on purpose, they are just born occasionally. Such dogs can be either a freak of nature or they are prematurely born. They can also have a dwarf gene.
