Yesterday I saw some very small and very cute dogs on the internet.When I saw them I was thinking it's really wonderful if I can got one.Then I went to search the infomatin of them.And I found some facts that's really shocked. This kind of dogs are called Tinny teacup poodle.When I saw the name ,I think it's very vivid because the dogs are as small as a cup. But when I went on reading, I found some facts,I didn't whether it is real.But if it is real ,that must be very cruel. The introduction said, the dogs are raised up in cups.And they are so small all because of a kind of liquid which can make the dog's bone softer.The dogs lived in cups which were full of that kind of fluid,and that maked them grew up slower,even stopped growing. Do you think that is non-humanitarian. Say your opinions about this. At last I appeal to all the people to save animals .

"Teacup Dogs" are NOT raised in a special liquid or in cups! Where ever did you read that - it is complete and utter rubbish! The name comes from their supposed ability to fit into a teacup because of their size. In fact, it is usually only the puppies that are small enough to do this.
Toy Dogs (a better name for them) are the result of selective breeding which has produced a very small variety. You can read more about them here: http://www.dog-names.org.uk/teacup-dogs-puppies.htm
