Your own posts seem to excuse it because you said

I don't think Melissa meant it that way Nancy, she lives in a rural area where there are good breeders and there are byb that don't have computers or don't know not to use the term "teacup", apparently they aren't on YT. Yes byb use the term for money, but some older breeders don't know better and use it as a comparison to what they have. Just like baby doll face or teapot or ugly or beautiful, its a descriptive term.
I don't use the term, cause I know better but lets face it some people are educated like we are. |
You seem to be excusing it because they are not educated, I'm saying lets educate people! I would never recommend a breeder to someone who used the excuse, "I'm not educated in the breed." Furthermore I'm talking about breeders who use the terms on their websites.
