Teacup means a dog under 4 lbs and under 7 inches tall. Teacup is a not an official term, it's just a casual term to describe a small dog. No, I definitely do not think that pugs get that small. Also cross breeding a pug with another breed-- like a teacup poodle-- would not result in a teacup pug anyway because the pug mother is still too big. Plus the puppy wouldn't even be a pug, but a mixed breed.
Life Expectancy. The Pug's life expectancy is generally 12 to 14 years, with individuals living as long as 16 to 17 years of age. There are things you can do to help extend the life of your pug.
