"Designer Hybrid Dog Breeder"...in other words "Purposeful Mutt Breeder who cares not for the standard as set forth by the AKC by which all breeders should be breeding their dogs to." Also known as: "Thing 1 and Thing 2 Provider - box not included"

I don't care how well known she is, or how many good reviews she has or how healthy her pups might be or how many testimonies there are about wonderful dogs she has bred.

A solid and reputable breeder is one who puts the breed they are concentrating their efforts on - at the forefront. A reputable breeder wants to preserve the breed and continue efforts to improve type, health and temperament.

I made the mistake of believing a breeder very similar to her 2 years ago, so I am outting myself here. Bella is a "morkie" AKA: pretty little word that means mutt. WE LOVE her with all that we are and we are SO blessed to have her in our lives, but she is a mutt and her breeder is not breeding for the betterment of any breed. I believed all the BS. We are extremely lucky to have a healthy dog, and I know that. NEVER again will I "fall for it" and I suggest you don't either. If you want the full story feel free to PM me.

Teacup when used by an "average joe" seems to be 'okay' in the eyes of some people, which is their prerogative. However, where did they hear that term? The only people who use that term in the dog world are the unscrupulous breeders who use it to advertise an underweight and most likely health-risk laden puppy.
