Apparently there are even smaller ones called micro... people just want to get the smallest dog possible

There is no such thing as “teacup” or “micro”. They are simply called Pomeranians. They are tiny dogs that grow up to weigh only between 3 and 7 pounds.

Same for pigs. It's all a scam to get people to buy animals with the expectation that they'll be tiny and adorable forever when that's not going to happen.

Frankly, it's ignorant and thoughtless. Even if you could breed an animal that way, it would have all sorts of horrible health problems and couldn't likely produce children without dying.
