Ok, I was watching some program about where the term teacup came from, tonight. they said that it is originated from Japan and they visited pet stores in Japan to find out about teacup puppies.
They visited many different pet stores and they were full of BS!
Some said that they know how to mate dogs at certain date to produce teacup. the others said that they keep mating runt of the litter to produce teacup. Some even said that they give mom a shot to stop milk production when puppies are about 4weeks and give them some gruel mixture to keep them barely alive, so puppies grow slowly till they sell them. The one that upset, no made me mad is that one of the store(famous for their teacup) have c-section on 2.5lb yorkies girl over and over again!!!!
They said that one of their biggest money maker was this tiny yorkie(less than 2lb) and she already had 5 c-sections!
She looked so miserable and sick. Her puppies sold for at least $30,000!!! They said that after 4th or 5th c-section, all puppies come out stillborn! Then, they send the mom to shelter!
WTH! I just couldn't understand how they can get away with such animal cruelty? It is suppy and demand.
There are just too many people think having teacup puppy is like having desigher handbag, and they brag about how small their puppy is! They are willing to pay rediculous amount of money to have 2lb 3lb full grown puppies. I really think that if people stop wanting teacup puppies, then these people who sell teacup puppies won't produce them any more.
I'm sorry if I sounded complaining, I'm just frustrated...
