You read it right a mug, but the bigger mugs not the small ones. So anyway, I really want one. But I do not know what breed are they. I saw them on pics before. What breeds does not grow big. I like puppies but when they get big, its getting difficult for me to take care of them, so I need small breeds.

my aunt has this kind of breed we call that kind of breed here in the philippines a "tea cup breed". They are not easy to take care of for the first nine months but when you succeeded the nine months it is safe now to take it for a walk or maybe for a ride in you pocket.

yeah they are teacup dogs , and there are alot of diffrent breeds. The chihuahuas, yorkies,maltese,poodles,pomeranians,pinchers, but teacup dogs have a lot of health issues, so if you decided that you will want one ,keep in mind these dogs are very fragile also keep in mind there bones are not strong, and also keep in mind there health issues, are you willing to take that chance is something does happen to the dog ,It can be a big financial responsiblity when owning a teacup dog.

I think you are right. I read about them already and there was this article that says that they get easily sick and they have a very poor health. Financial responsibility will be an issue if I want to take care of one. Anyway, thanks for the response and happy mylotting! :)

They're called tea cups, but really they're just runts or dwaves. They don't make the best pets, because they're prone to a lot of health issues.
