The lifespan of a teacup dog is usually less than 10 years old. If taken care of well, a longer life is possible.

If the life span of the teacup dogs you know or understand is not that long, then the possible reason is that the pet dogs you see are not real teacup dogs.

The standard for a teacup dog is under 8 inches and weighing under 4 pounds. There is also a smaller category of teacup poodles called tiny teacup poodles, commonly known as "pocket" poodles. The standard is under 7 inches and weighs under 3 pounds.
