| UGH, I can not stand some people! So I was at my sons baseball game today, and there is a walking path that goes around the field. I had Riley with me, and walked him around once, as he is apparently not a baseball fan..lol.. Anyway, this older lady pulled up in this very new looking mustang, and got out to walk her Yorkie, a female im guessing buy the very pretty pink dress and diamond collar. I could tell by the way the lady was dressed that she was a wealthy woman. This woman gave me the most awful look, and ask me if I lived around here and how much I payed for my Yorkie. I told her that Riley was 200 dollars. and she had the nerve to say, "Oh well I can tell he not "standard" Mine fits the standard and she was 1500.00 and then she said giving me this sour look, like I was dirt under her feet." I don't know what has gotten into people these days. charging so little for these Yorkie's, when they are supposed to be expensive, because they are meant for the elite and wealthy, and some of these breeders are making it so that just anyone can have one, and ruining the reputation of the breed!!! can you believe this, I said well im sorry I better keep walking, Riley is not fixed and you have a girl there, and we wouldn't want some "DELIVERANCE" puppy's now would we?, That woman was lucky it was me she was talking to, instead of someone else. I live in the country and another woman here would have hit her..regardless of weather her hair was as blue as her Yorkie's or not!!I cant stand arrogant people that carry their soapbox around with them, and think they no it all and that they are better than everyone else..I was soooooo mad, Act like my Yorkie is not worthy just because Of the price I payed for him. or that I dont have any business having one because Im not RICH.

| LOL, some people , what are you going to do with them. Its a good thing that it was you! Although a good pop might have made her think twice before she ever said something like that again! |

| Charmed239, your puppy is loved way more than hers because it seems she has certain standards she has to meet to be kept happy, ie. pay so much money for a puppy, and make fun of people to feel she's worth something. It doesn't matter how much we pay for our little guys. They are up to our standard and who cares what others think. They fit our mold perfectly. |

| I'm sorry you ran into someone with such poor manners. You did just fine. You can always just laugh in someone's face and walk away when they treat you that way.

| You should have told her yorkies back in the day used to be owned by peasants to kill all the rats they lived with, and she should know bc she was probably alive back then!

| Some people! It is very odd how someone can think that one baby is better than the other!

| ooohhh...boy! I would have said some not nice things to her! How dare she say something like that?! What business of hers is it how much you paid anyways? So what if you paid $200 for your Riley, it's still $200, and he's still your baby, so what does she care?! The nerve...I would've popped her.

| The price that you payed for Riley shouldn't matter, it doesn't determine if you're a responsible and loving owner. Don't let it get too you, you did an amazing job! As they say, money can't always buy you happiness. |
