Our Breeder Standards
At TeacupPuppiesJoy, the well-being of our puppies is paramount. We maintain rigorous standards and prioritize responsible breeding practices to ensure the health and happiness of every pup we entrust to loving families.
Understanding Puppy Mills
Puppy mills prioritize profit over the well-being of animals. These large-scale breeding operations often house dogs in inadequate conditions with minimal veterinary care, leading to significant health and behavioral issues. Many puppy mills operate in violation of animal welfare regulations, highlighting a systemic lack of concern for canine health.
USDA-Approved
TeacupPuppiesJoy holds a USDA license (cert. # 22-B-0087) and mandates that every breeder within our network also holds a license, unless exempted by the USDA.
Our Quality Assurance Process
At TeacupPuppiesJoy, we employ a meticulous, data-oriented approach to assess and vet numerous breeders nationwide. This process forms our unique network of breeder partners who are deeply committed to the well-being of dogs. Our rigorous breeder application process includes interviews, thorough examination of ownership and operational records, onsite visits, criminal background screenings, facility inspections, compliance assessments, scrutiny of government and humanitarian databases, and review of veterinary history.
Our Exclusive Breeder Selection Process
At TeacupPuppiesJoy, we uphold USDA requirements and implement a rigorous, proprietary screening process for breeders upon entry and annually thereafter. Crafted by our independent Scientific Advisory Board, this protocol exceeds national standards to ensure the highest quality standards.

Animal Health Care
At TeacupPuppiesJoy, we mandate that each breeder establishes a formal partnership with a USDA-accredited veterinarian to uphold a Program of Veterinary Care (PVC). Additionally, TeacupPuppiesJoy breeders must adhere to a minimum vaccination and deworming schedule outlined by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) for both puppies and parents.
Accommodation
At TeacupPuppiesJoy, accommodations for each dog must adhere to our set standards. We evaluate factors including size, pet-safe materials, visual appeal, air circulation, temperature control, noise level, flooring type, bedding quality, lighting, cleanliness, pest management, and outdoor amenities.
Staff Training
At TeacupPuppiesJoy, we enforce strict guidelines ensuring every breeder maintains adequate staffing levels for consistent, high-quality care of both puppies and parents. Additionally, we require comprehensive and ongoing training programs for all staff to uphold our standards of excellence.
