still trying to convince people that Monty IS a yorkie!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Montysmom2 · 06-04-2013, 04:56 AM

I admit that my Monty is quite a bit oversized (at 15 lbs) and his ears do not stand up, he has a curly coat and his body length is quite long for a yorkie oh and since he was purchased in the UK his tail was not docked but he has every personality trait of a yorkie and I have seen a bunch of yorkie pics on here that resemble him quite nicely. I am so tired of people looking at me like I have two heads when they ask me what breed he is and I say yorkie. I am not going to breed him or anything and yes he is not the epitome of what a text book yorkie looks like but he definitely does look and act like a yorkie (well maybe more Australian Silky?).
Am I the crazy one???
Doesn't matter to me, everyone here has said he looks like a yorkie to them but I really wish people would just stop asking me or believe me when I tell them his breed...lol
I couldn't care less if he was a 'true' yorkie, does not change how I feel about him one little bit...yes he is a bit more yorkie than I had envisioned but there is just more of him to love <3

who cares what people say.......you dont have to prove anything to anyone and really i think it better you just say rotweiler from now on...then they will really have something to discuss. hehe.

Montysmom2 · 06-04-2013, 05:03 AM

That is the funniest thing EVER, I used to say his coloring looked like a Rottweiler when he was a tiny puppy!!

pstinard · 06-04-2013, 05:05 AM

I just took a look at this photos and he looks like a Yorkie to me! His photo after his haircut looks just like my Bella, only larger. He's a big cutie!

Anny Mendoza · 06-04-2013, 05:06 AM

I agree with Rubymoon2072

Don't worry about what they think, what matters is that you love him

My Rufus is big and has a curly coat, even my vet still doubts he is one!
But I love him no matter what

Montysmom2 · 06-04-2013, 05:11 AM

The cool thing is that most of the people that give me the wrinkle-nose-I-just-sucked-a-lemon face are not even yorkie owners! So it isn't like I am insulting their dog's breed by trying to throw him into a group that he obviously wouldn't be accepted in. I am simply telling them what I bought.
People are funny...and we wonder why people are being continually judged...heck they even judge wee dogs!!

I second this!! I don't care to prove anything to anyone anymore. If someone politely asks "is that a yorkie?" Then proceed to talk about their teacup and how much larger Kaji is, I just smile. If instead I get the "what IS he?" Or "what kind of dog is THAT?" I go with the silliest thing I can think of. A pitbull terrier mix puppy.

imagine that combination of strength and mischieviousness!!

Love it!

ilovejoel · 06-04-2013, 07:26 AM

I have the same problem with Joel because his curly hair, I don't even care anymore! lol

MyGirlSasha · 06-04-2013, 08:09 AM

Same for me with Sasha because of her coloring. I know the truth so whatever!

Teegy · 06-04-2013, 08:50 AM

Train Monty to poo on their shoe, rude people

Montysmom2 · 06-04-2013, 09:17 AM

Okay, so I am taking a culmination of suggestions...I am going to tell them he is a Rottweiler/pitbull/terrier mix that will poo in their shoe if they insult him.
Done deal!!!

MauiGirl · 06-04-2013, 09:23 AM

Monty is adorable, and doesn't look overweight, he's just a"super-sized" Yorkie. How old is Monty?

So you have twice as much to love, and he definitely looks happy, hearty, and healthy.

Montysmom2 · 06-04-2013, 09:28 AM

Monty turned 1 on May 18,2013 (yes there was a party lol). He is a spoiled, loved, mostly well-behaved fur baby!! He brings me a great amount of joy and I love him to death.
His body is very long for a yorkie (they are typically more squared from what I have seen here) and I believe that is where a lot of his extra weight comes from, plus he is taller too, he is most definitely NOT fat. My vet actually recommended that I enroll him in agility training as his build is so athletic. This dog can jump like nothing I have ever seen...he has springs on his feet I think

He does need to work a bit on his aggressive attitude which I believe comes from being spoiled (bad mommy)
