A good, reputable breeder knows what the standard is that is to be met, and wouldn't try to pull a fast one on unsuspecting buyers by using a cutesy term.
You're correct if just using the term "Teddy Bear", but we are talking about descriptions of a dog which makes it an adjective. Teddy Bear Face.

I just think that if a person has puppies that have a baby doll face or teddy bear face, there is nothing wrong with claiming it. Not everybody is buying a show dog and to be quite frank, I don't think that a lot of the show breeders dogs have the best living conditions for their dogs. I have seen a few that are in crates 24/7.

If a person is breeding healthy dogs, and are not obvious puppy mills, I don't see anything wrong with the descriptions.
