| anything marketed as teacup or there are that many breeds listed from one place you can almost guarantee that they're from puppy mills.

| Big eyed hydrocephalus pups who look like anime characters sold to "celebrities" and plastered all over their site. First off, those people are not celebrities. Second, no respectable breeder would use their clients fame to upsell themselves. Don't matter if they are from Korea, they ARE puppymills. sickening and disgusting. All for the mighty dollar.

| Could someone explain to me why people want a dog that tiny in the first place? I would be terrified it would get hurt!!! I am not bashing on anyone here that owns a tiny one. Its people that are only interested in "micro teacups" as they say that i don't understand |

| They do look photoshopped or hydrocephalic or something. The eyes are so far apart and the faces so flattened and the size so so tiny. Wonder how long most of her dogs live - think most make it a year or two? Poor little things!

| so sad. looking at the photos - they are photoshopped. if you go to any of the ones that have videos, while they are definitely big eyed and small, it's not as crazy as the photos. |

| OHMYGOSH, I have just spent some time looking around on that website and those sellers are unbelievable in what they are producing. Then I clicked somewhere and got on Youtube where they are advertising microteacups! MICROTEACUPS?!?! And the prices for these pitiful little things is unbelievable. And the dogs themselves - what happens to that Yorkie not much longer than a $5.00 bill weighing less than 2 lbs. when it jumps off the bed before you have time to blink? How does it manage to romp and play out in the grass unless it is fresh-cut? My 4" long St. Augustine is so thick and sturdy in summer that little thing would have trouble even trying to walk in it, let alone running all over and roughhouse and play fetch as a normal-sized Yorkie. How can it even pick up a tennis ball? You would have to brush its teeth with a Q-tip - anything larger would probably hurt its tiny tiny mouth. I'm just astounded and very, very sad at the terrible things I saw and read on that site.

| Gosh. The first link looked like they sold to gangsters only. The second link did not even use real pictures. They were mostly drawings. What a crock! The person could not even write in proper English! It's so sad that people fall for this kind of con job. I seriously doubt that they are producing anything near to what they are promising. It's so pathetic to see animals exploited that way. I have heard of people importing puppies from Korea. Imagine they type of conditions those poor dogs must come from! |

| T.I and Nelly are respected artists in the hip hop industry and it's a shame to see them listed on the site. It seems though that the 'big eyed kawaii' look works on many celebrities who just want a cute tiny dog right now no matter the price or source and that's really unfortunate. What's disturbing is i went to click on one of the pups and on the side it said "out of stock", i clicked on another and it said "quantity:1" with an "add to cart" button. It's like they have so many pups that they're equating them to pairs of shoes . |
