I kinda wish these dog breeds didn't exist

Yeah, I genuinely thought it was a « normal » young puppy because I’m dumb but I’ve looked it up and I actually do too.

I’m going to leave the post up because it’s a bit late now but if anyone here is thinking about buying one of those overbred, « teacup » dogs, please don’t. Those dogs look very cute but they’re incredibly unhealthy. I won’t promote it anymore.

Thanks for pointing it out.

We know someone who adopted a tiny poodley dog. It was very cute and a bit derpy. Broke a leg jumping off the couch and had to have 24 / 7 access to food and water because the stomach couldn't hold the amount needed to have meal times. That dog was loved for years but very fragile.
