| I need to rant about this for a minute. YouTube - robbiehar's Channel If the owner of this Youtube account is a member of this site, then the mods are just going to have to delete my post, but her videos make me gag. Every one of them talks about her SMALL CHOCOLATE RED Yorkshire Terrier. Yet another person who just wants a designer dog to look cute for everyone else rather than giving a damn about the breed. And it's the same videos over and over again. Look how cute my TINY, CHOCOLATE RED Yorkie is! Look how CHOCOLATE and RED and TINY Tinkerbell is. I have to make her clothes because she's SO SMALL. TE HE HEE. Why can't people just be happy with the way the breed is. And I know she intentionally bred her this way, because she accidentally got a shot of the mother who is also a chocolate yorkie. But she claims in her comments that she breeds responsibly. I've never seen anyone brag so much. It just really makes me sick. I hope this doesn't offend anyone on here, but this woman needs to go... away.

| I was searching for a friend's yorkie video and it was like the second link when I entered the search on Youtube. Don't get me wrong, the dog is adorable.. but it's like she's exploiting the poor things.

| What was it about that video that drew you to click on it, sit and wait for it to load and then, watch it? I'm only asking because you are so angry about her breeding practices and she certainly wasn't hiding it (her title even says, "SMALL Yorkie Puppies Chocolate Yorkshire Terrier Puppy"). You even started another thread recently where you were angry about the thing..... |

| Well, I just saw it and thought the dog was cute a first. But then every single one of her videos just outright brags about how tiny it is. Not about how nice its personality is, or how much she enjoys it as a pet. it sounds like she's advertising her own doggie. And I'm so upset because I'm getting so sick of this designer dog crap, and she's not helping make it any better with her videos.

People have ranting threads all the time here, she stated that in the thread title. She shouldn't have to defend "how" she found it. What about all the people who post "teacup" websites? This is a legitimate concern for many of us. I'd rant with you, but I can't get the video to play.

| I realize that you have your own opinions, but maybe you should reconsider some of your words. There are members here that own chocolate colored Yorkies and I am pretty sure they would not consider their fur baby, "designer crap". |

| I never called chocolate yorkies "designer crap". I said I'm sick of the designer crap. If a chocolate yorkie happens to end up in the litter, and you want it, fine. But she's advertising it to everyone in the world like it's the breed standard. My grandmother has a dog with a pigment defect as well, but she didn't go out an specifically look for the thing, it just happened to be one of two in the litter that just by chance happened to be that color. What this woman is doing is false advertising. That would be like me selling you an albino cat and telling you it's worth lots of money because you don't know any better. Now, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S SELLING THE PUPPIES SHE HAS. Let's make that very clear before I start getting flamed, but by the looks of if, she probably has in the past, and if she hasn't, she probably wouldn't have a problem passing these off as "rare" colors to make a profit. THAT'S what this post is about. I'm not attacking anyone's dog. The dogs aren't responsible for what thier owners say and do.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Ok, I got it to play, it bothers me, because I think they play up the size factor too much. "She's smallest chocolate yorkie in the world, maybe the smallest yorkie." Since she just a regular person and not a breeder, it doesn't bother me too much, but I do see a trend with people wanting smaller and smaller Yorkies, and size seems to be the only important factor. One women wrote in and wanted an under 3 pound Yorkie, and didn't care if it had liver shunt, just as long as it was small.

| I've had another member on here email me the link to this lady's videos. She was also very annoyed by her. I know this person seems like she's really bragging but maybe she doesn't mean to come off that way. I think sometimes a person can just love their baby so much that it can come off wrong. I guess I think along these lines because I post pictures all the time. I'm sure some might think I'm trying to show off my babies but it has nothing to do with that. I simply adore my babies and want to share them with everyone. I hope I made sense.

| That's just awful. I had the exact opposite problem. I wanted something around 5-6lbs, but nobody wanted my little guy because he was the skinniest and had a problem at birth. He's estimated to stop growing at about 3lbs 6oz, which isn't bad, but he's small when you put him next to his brothers and sisters, so I took him because he gave me the saddest look and we just bonded. People should buy the dog for the breed, how happy the dog makes them, how happy they make the dog. They are companions and friends, not fashion accessories. and, tammy, if I may call you tammy, if you are offended because you have a parti yorkie, don't be, there's nothing wrong with off-breed standard colored yorkies, but people that intentionally breed them over and over to make a profit are mean. plain and simple, and I'm sorry if you think I'm a jerk, but i don't believe in pulling the wool over someone's eyes the way some breeders do.

| Wow, I DO sound like a jerk, haha. It's my nature. Sorry everyone. I'm just so annoyed right now. I mean, sure I would post hundreds of videos and pictures of my baby if I had the patience, but it's the SMALL and CHOCOLATE reiterated over and over, in all caps that's bothering me. it's like she's shoving it down my throat. AAH.
