When I was searching for my yorkie, I found quite a few adds that had these words in describing their pups. I did answer a few of them and from what I seen, the cobby body meant short legged compact body. Apple head meant rounder shaped head. Baby doll face meant, forhead rounder with shorter snout and round eyes. I also noticed that breeders who used these phrases where asking outrages prices for their puppies. They are the cutest looking puppies. (at least I think so) I don't really think it is necessary to stay clear of these types of adds if you are willing to pay big $$$$. If people are willing to spend this kind of money on something they really want then breeder and proud new owner are happy. To me they are just using the words people can relate to.
I usually stay clear from this topic. I know it's old and been said and drug to the ground and stomped on repeatedly. But teacup, baby face or any other words some may use does not bother me in the least bit. As long as I got what I wanted and he/she is healthy and comes with an health guarantee, docs. from vet, shot record, and lastly the thumb up from my vet. Then I'm happy!!! I know there is no such thing but I just don't get all weirded out just because someone calls Gus a teacup. He is what he is and if someone wants to use the word teacup to state the obvious,,,, tiny and all so darn cute, then so be it.
