Minka – lovely toy size Shih Tzu

Little Minka is already 7 months, but her little body still looks like she is 2 months old. She is tiny tiny and one of the smallest Shih Tzu’s I’ve come across. She is smaller than a Chihuahua! Minka is a lovely girl, affectionate and easy. Because of over breeding, she is so small that it’s hard to say if she is under weight or just like that… It’s sad how HK breeding can go to such extremes. To get ‘toy’ ‘tea-cup’ breeds, breeders don’t let mommy dog grow naturally by restricting food intake and placing it into a very small cage, too small for any movement or growth… Then, once they can have puppies 5-6 months old, they start over producing puppies and do the same for these female pups. What does this result in? Tiny breeds… What does it also result in? Suffering mommy dogs that only live a life of not enough food and no space to move to puppies that result the same.. Health problems occur to the ones that make it to a home… It then keeps going. Sad…
