I recommend you do your research before attacking other members for giving good advice
The creation of different dog breeds represents centuries of selective breeding to create a true line of dogs all with similar desired characteristics. Somewhere in all this breeding and selection, toy breeds were deemed desirable and were hence developed. Typical examples of these very small dogs are:
Chihuahua
Yorkshire Terrier
Maltese
Toy Poodle
Pomeranian
And, of course, there are many others. Consider that if these dogs are so tiny as adults how tiny they must be as newborn puppies. These itty bitty babies have trouble maintaining body temperature, cut their baby teeth in late and thus have trouble with kibbled foods, and they have difficulty maintaining blood sugar. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) creates listlessness, incoordination (the brain cannot burn fat or protein and relies entirely on sugar), and even seizures.
