Teapup is a family-owned business where we raise happy, healthy puppies to be adopted into loving homes.
Dan and Deb Beer, owners, have been raising puppies for thirty years and have worked very hard to perfect the art of professionally raising puppies and loving each and every dog here at Teapup!
OWNERS:
Dan and Deb Beer
Dan and Deb Beer began raising dogs in 1989 (that makes 31 years!), and have attained much knowledge through the years regarding all aspects of raising dogs and puppies. They love seeing their beautiful puppies go to great forever homes, and they believe it is a wonderful blessing to have a part in making a child's dream of puppy ownership come true! The joy on a new puppy owner's faces when taking home their new addition is simply priceless! Dan is a minister in their church, and also farms about 700 acres of corn in the area. Both he and Deb have had the great opportunity, especially during the past couple of years, to spend more time with their family which consists of four children, eighteen grandchildren, and one great grandchild!

As a friendly note to our clients: Dan and Deb have moved towards semi-retirement. While they still oversee Teapup and remain very much involved with their dogs and puppies, they no longer work directly with the clients, whether it be at Teapup or on the phone. Their staff is trained to take care of any questions you may have. If a problem does arise, feel free to reach out to management for support.
