| oy, ignorance... Today we went to the petstore to get Belle some stuff... and this lady goes aww is that a silkie or a yorkie? i tell her it's a yorkie... and she goes: oh wow! she's big!! (Belle is 7lbs...) i go what?...i was like the breed standard is up to 7 lbs... she told me she was advised against getting a Yorkie bc they were so small... i was like uh... there are lots of big yorkies... she said something about teacups i go...there is no such thing, they are dwarves and they are very delicate... *sigh* oh well Belle is perfect in my eyes

| 7lbs isn't even big... in my opinion, anything under 10lb is really a tiny dog. people just hear teacup and expect everyone to have dogs that fit in your hand.. my yorkie is 10lbs, and perfect to me, and it really annoys me when people tell me she is huge. you want huge, go find a great dane lol

| Bella is gorgeous and a perfect size. I do not have anything against smaller furbabies, but I'm glad Rockies is 5 pounds. I have nieces and nephews who are very young and love to play with him. There so tiny already. I'm glad Bella is with a proud mommy. |

| BELLE IS PERFECT!!!! & that lady is a LOONEY ignore comments like that!!! People are so ignorant at times, My Friend as a Yorkie AND SHE IS 10 lbs!!! I love her and she surely looks very healthy and just like a Yorkie, I get mad when people stop and start asking questions!!! They want to know why one is smaller than the other and so on....My Response is " Yorkies are like Humans" Different Sizes and Different Shapes"

| Having 3 furbabies all different sizes, you would not believe what I hear!! Our male, Harley, is about 5.5 pounds and very very active. People insist he is too skinny and should eat more. He is just always busy, but eats plenty!! Our 3 year old female, Davie is 4 pounds, and I am always aked if she is a puppy. Will she get any bigger?? NO...she is full grown!! Our other female is Lexie, and is 8 pounds, yes she looks "huge" next to Davie, but she had a litter of 7 puppies in July and doubled her weight and is having trouble losing it. People are just ignorant no matter what baby I have with me. They are all perfect to me!!!
