Teacup Groodle
What Is A Teacup Groodle?
The Teacup Groodle is the smallest Groodle size. A Teacup Groodle is usually a multigenerational breed created by breeding two very small Toy Groodles together. They usually breed two Toy Groodles runts together over multiple generations until they consistently get the Teacup size. Teacup Groodles are a controversial size as many teacup breeds have size related health issues. That is why not many breeders create Teacup Groodles, making them the rarest Groodle size.
In terms of temperament, Teacup Groodles may be shyer and more wary than larger Groodle sizes as they are so much smaller than other dogs as they may be fearful of them. This is especially the case if they are at a dog park with larger dogs. You have to be careful letting a Teacup Groodle play with large dogs at dog parks as they are much more fragile than the regular dog due to their small size.
