--she is breeding multiple breeds--Yorkies, Chis, Bulldogs....one search brought up Shih Tzus?
--there is no info about her dogs, no pictures, no contract
--There seems to be more emphasis on her "business" (as she refers to it) than the actual breeding program itself. Paragraphs about how to set up an appointment, policies on keeping your appointment, deposits and non-refundable returning of puppies, and 'business hours' for when she will accept calls

In short, the site is lacking alot of important info.

This are just my opinions and observations based ONLY off the info on her site.
These are the reasons right here quoted above.
I don't believe that all breeders that breed multiple breeds are bad breeders, but when it is a "business" that is just a puppy factory, that causes red flags.
Sure someone could have had a great experience with them. Wild animals have perfectly healthy offspring all the time, so it's possible they could be without major health issues and whatever. When it comes down to it though, a reputable, responsible, respectable breeder will NOT advertise anything TEACUP at all, period.
