| yorkies come with a stereotype? Well, i was in class and our teacher asked us about what we wanted for our birthdays and such. I said i wanted a yorkie puppy, others responded with cars, money, clothes ect.. and then he said that he could make out our personalities with JUST what we picked. (he was only there for summer classes and didnt know any of us) Anyways he said because i picked a yorkie i was a "a spoiled daddies little princess!" WHAT?!? I told him that having small dogs wasnt about totting them around in bags or anything, i just wanted a yorkie because i love their personalities and he said he meant nothing bad by his comment (YA RIGHT). I told him that i had a 3.7 GPA, have a job, care for my younger sister, and am the co-captain of my cheerleading squad and on the swim team! and under no circumstances was i a SPOILED PRINCESS" well he just laughed and said "well.. of course your a cheerleader" THATS ALL HE HEARD FROM ALL THAT! CHEERLEADER! i AM SO MAD! i could hit someone! W/e i left the classroom and me and all my friends asks to switch classes and we all got moved to another class with a great teacher.. but STILL! the school said he was only here for the summer and firing him would just be a hassle, but that he would not be returning for the school year and they have heard similar complaints from other students. i do not go to this school, im only there so i can take some courses so my workload during the year wont be as heavy, so w/e. since when does having/wanted a yorkie mean you are.. A PARIS HILTON?! |

I didn't get strung out on all the CRAP they were strung out on...I EARNED what I have!! some people just irritate me! i would have gone OFF on my teacher for saying that. especially if he said it in front of other people. I would have half a mind to report him!

| That is a terrible thing to say. The question sounds like a set up to me. Why ask, then put you down? He sounds like an unhappy person who wants to drag you down. You sound like a great girl with a lot going for you. Ignore this jerk and keep doing your thing! PS YEAH Cheer!!!!!!

| I'm sorry you had to sit through that a$$hole's rant. There's probably a reason why this "teacher" could only get a gig as a summer school teacher (no other school wants him). But I definately feel there is a stereotype when it comes to being a yorkie owner. The only way I feel we (as a yorkie owning and loving community) can deal with this stereotype is ignore it and behave how we would normally behave. It's just a shame that the ONLY celebrities that gain attention from the media who have yorkies are people like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton...what about Audrey Hepburn and Vanessa Williams?!?

YT Addict | Good for you for being so responsible! I hate that!!!! My Husband and I were in the park and this guy with his kids said "Hey look a Paris Hilton dog." I just told him that was rude and "by the way I take way better care of Bella than Paris Hilton does her dogs so stuff it!" He just looked at me like I had 4 heads and left. lol I am sorry that guy was a jurk but at least you don't take his class any more! Sounds to me like you are intelligent to realize that he is an unhappy person you shouldn't waist your time on. |

| How rude. What right does he have to categorize people. I guess I would have been a spoiled Daddys Girl too. Except I wasn't spoiled just Daddy's Little Girl, and darn proud of it.

| He was a jerk. I admit I am spoiled by my hubby and and that's why I have Gypsy. I have enough of my in laws saying I am spoiled wouldn't need someone who does not know me saying it.

| Ugh! What a jerk! When they see me with my baby boy, people assume that I'm a spoiled rich girl type too...Even though I have saved money for YEARS to afford my precious Wobie, because I also have to worry about the tuition for my private college that is not covered by my academic scholarships. Doesn't sound very Paris Hilton-esque does it?

| He sounds like a real jerk and has NO business working in a classroom environment. I'd go to the School Board with that crap! Grrr!!!!!

| I'm a proud spoiled princess! He probably didn't mean it in a negative manner, I'm sure. It's a general idea in most non-yorkie/small dog owners heads that we (small dog owners) are pampered, spoiled or whatever...I don't let it get to me when I hear stuff like that. In my head, I would have thought yorkie owners/small dog owners are more careful and detailed people (girlier girls, metro men) ..but everybody's different...
