Doesn't care about the health or standards of their dogs, they're just in it for the money. The dogs are over bred, inbred and kept in appalling conditions. Many use UKC or CKC as registries because AKC doesn't recognize their breed (Mixed Designer dogs) or because they've bred un-registered dogs and UKC or CKC will register anything that walks.
Someone who has done at least one necessary health check prior to selling their dogs, may or may not care about the money involved with breeding. They may have little knowledge or understanding about breeding, due to not receiving the proper certificates to sell their puppies.
Has proven their dogs some way or another. Which means they've shown them and gotten their titles. They also health check, give their animals proper medical care, have contracts, do home checks, etc. They are very involved with their puppies and care about where they're going. They will offer life-time support for you and your new family member, and will take the puppy back if you ever cannot keep it any longer so it will not end up in a shelter. Reputable Breeders also do not sell Teacup dogs of any kind.
