Irresponsible breeders is most accurate. A responsible breeder will: 1) be breeding to the breed's standard..no teacup, micro, mini, imperial, king, or other goofy term for runts or oversized dogs. No intentional "rare", meaning unaccepted by the breed standard, colors either. 2) will be actively showing or working the parents. 3) will have genetic health testing done, such as OFA or PennHip, CERF, VonWillebrand's, etc. 4) will give you the results of that testing in writing 5) insists on spay/neuter for pet pups. 6) has a contract citing the spay/neuter clause and also offering to take back the pup at any time for any reason for the rest of its life. 7) is open, honest, and available to the new owner, and can talk about their breed for hours. 8) does a home check before placing a pup, and will turn down homes that might not be suitable for a pup of their breed. 9) does not put money above the well-being of their animals. If the breeder you are considering doesn't fit these guidelines, find a better breeder. You are more likely to get a mentally and physically healthy pup from a responsible breeder.

A "byb" is a term used to describe an indereducated, money-loving, careless person. I personally don't like bybs, but they do what they want, I mean its not illegal. :( poor dogs...

Scum of the Earth is used a lot.

Hmm, I would say Hobby Breeders, but some hobby breeders produce show dogs. And then you have commercial breeder, which is the mass production of puppies (aka, puppy mills) "home breeder" maybe?

BYB is a way to differentiate these people from serious breeders. BYBs are only doing it for the money. They don't take good care of the pups or the mom. They won't get vaccines done. They won't feed the proper diet. They breed as often as they can and sell the pups to anyone who will give them the money. Serious breeders care about their dogs. They make sure mom and the dad are in really good health before breeding. They will only breed, at most, once a year. They take the pups in for checkups and vaccinations. They only sell once they've had a chance to question the buyers and talk about the seriousness of owning a puppy.

Well, from what I've seen, backyard breeders can be a few different types of people. Some just have one to a few dogs and breed them basically just to make money, but I think BYB also refers to some puppy mills. I'm not really sure, that's just from what I've picked up.
