Know About Us

Since I moved to Salt Lake City, Utah with my husband, we started looking for a dog small enough to live in the house with us, but we also didn’t want to deal with a lot of shedding. My husband recommended maltipoos because of their excellent nature. In his words, “They’re not as spazzy and yappy as Chihuahuas or similar small dogs.”

My husband surprised me one day by bringing Ava home and I instantly fell in love. She was very intelligent and was always eager to learn new tricks, which to her means more treats!

Within a few short weeks, she eagerly learned to sit, lay down, turn around, beg, jump, and go take a nap. Having a mix of poodle, which is the second smartest breed, really helps.

It is a lot of fun teaching our dogs new tricks! This article by yourdogadvisor.com has a few brilliant tricks that you can teach your dog. They also explain how to teach them.

We have also added a new addition to our home, Molly, to give Ava someone to play with when our busy lives take over and they love each other. They do everything together including sharing their chew toys.

I absolutely love our Maltipoos and enjoy the precious moments when they have puppies and the time I get to spend with their puppies as they curiously explore this new world they’re born into.

We are a family co-operative and we strive to breed only the healthiest Maltipoos with lots of love and attention. I have strict breeding and care standards for all of the Maltipoos in our program. Our family Co-operative includes Rosader (Maggie), Gideon (Willow), Miles (Yvette) and Joseph (Mitsy).

We’re not your average puppy store! Here at TeaCups, Puppies & Boutique, the safety and well-being of our puppies is of the utmost importance, and our goal is to provide them with the absolute best care possible! Our puppies sleep in clean and cozy condos with warm blankets and heating pads. We never use cages with painful metal wire flooring, as this can be especially dangerous for teacup sized puppies. We also employ a full staff dedicated to keeping our puppies clean and healthy. Our in-house veterinary technician performs regular fecal examinations and ensures that each and every puppy is happy, eating properly, and up-to-date on vaccinations. In addition, a licensed veterinarian visits our boutique every Friday afternoon to perform health examinations of our puppies. When you purchase a puppy from TeaCups, Puppies & Boutique, you can rest assured that you are bringing home a healthy, happy, and pampered puppy.

For two decades, Eleonora Bonfini, founder of TeaCups, Puppies & Boutique, has been raising and caring for the tiniest, most delicate teacup and micro teacup puppies. As a retired teacup puppy breeder and vet technician herself, Eleonora’s extensive experience makes her quite the expert in the teacup puppy industry. With the purchase of a puppy, Eleonora passes her knowledge down to you during a 45 minute orientation on how to properly care for your new puppy. During this orientation, she teaches you everything you need to know. From feeding and bathing to vaccinating your new puppy, all of your questions will be answered.
