    "Miniature" and "teacup" generally are false names that BYBs use to sucker you into paying more money.

    "We bought this dog from a pet store so i think we'd know."

    LMAOOO... I'm sorry, but that is definitely the best quote I've seen lately!

    To you, she might look "miniature", but I dare you to find a legit "Miniature Boston Terrier" breed club. There is none, nor is it a recognized breed. It is just a Boston Terrier that is under-sized for the breed, which IMO is not something to brag about, as it suggests poor breeding practices. I'm sure you girl is a great dog, but she's a Boston Terrier. (that is... if her registration is not fake, which is very common in pet stores.)

    first off i wasn't bragging about her being a minature boston terrier. Have you ever seen or even heard of toy yorkies?. THERE is such a thing, but people won't find them hardly anywhere because they are so rare, same goes for minature boston terrier. she cost alot because she's rare. anytime you find a minature/toy dog. they are going to cost alot more than a regular size one would because they are rare. Most of the time when minature/toy dogs give birth they usually have 1 or 2 my dog was one out of 2 and her mom barely made it. To me is seems like you people can't stand for someone to tell you otherwise and i keep telling you she's a boston terrier because she is one. We drove two hours to get her, i don't think we would've drove so far to get ourselves a regular boston terrier. When we could've gone to our local pet store and get a regular size one.

    LOL.

    I'll probably just be talking to a brick wall however, they cost so much so the byb's can scam people like you into think they're rare. They are simply poorly bred puppy mill dogs. I've heard of all the teacup breeds, none of them are reconized. Please research this!

    Sorry, but there's no such thing as a miniature Boston Terrier.. Yeah, she's probably just an undersized BT, because I swear to god there is NO SUCH THING! Just as there's no such thing as a Teacup Yorkie, Teacup Pomeranian, etc.. TRUST ME. We got scammed into a whole BYB "Teacup Pomeranian" deal, and guess where it ended up? She died. She had so many medical problems, and even if she had lived we probably would have gotten her PTS because she was suffering. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MINIATURE BOSTON TERRIER!!!!

    umm well u keep tellin me there is not such thing as a minature boston terrier so yah then there isn't such a thing as a teacup pomeranian.. and i don't think that minature or teacup would have had anything to do with her death. she obviously had health problems and THATS where you got scammed at was buying a sick dog.

    if you believe there is or isn't oh well. it's your belief so watever.

    I never said there was such thing as a Teacup Pomeranian. Oh yeah, it has alot to do with her death. There's hardly any way a 1.2 pound puppy is going to survive. Yeah, she had health problems from being so tiny and poorly bred.

    Oh you mean a RUNT haha.....
    thats why your dog is smaller then the other. Its a scam to get people like you to think they are "rare" and pay more money.. Cause you know those petstores sure are smart

    i don't think that minature or teacup would have had anything to do with her death. she obviously had health problems and THATS where you got scammed at was buying a sick dog
    umm...ya being small would LEAD to health problems..

    I don't get this whole thread. If your current dog needs the money for a vet, than a new dog is out of the question. That should be the end of this whole discussion. You sound like the type of person who dumps of an old dog at the shelter because they need room for the puppy
    I agree

    I'm not getting into this BT thing one way or the other, but my Pug Sylvia is much smaller than all the Pugs I've seen. We just call her a small Pug. She probably was the runt, but we paid less for her because they thought she was older than she was.
