Do I LOOK like a Chihuahua?!? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Jennieliz14 · 07-24-2005, 10:46 PM

I am NOT making this up!
I took Olivia on a walk yesterday down to the boardwalk on the Chesapeake Bay near my house. Well, as we were walking two girls passed us, and one said "That dog is soo cute!" Her friend promptly looked at Olivia and said, "Oh, that's a long haired Chihuahua." At this point, Olivia stops DEAD in her tracks, like she understands English and is taking this as the biggest insult iin her life. (and no, I didnt correct the girl, I was busy fuming lol)

As for me, I have nothing against Chis, I think they're cute, but IN NO WAY does Olivia look anything like one!

What do you think?!

Some people are just sooo stupid. I get asked all the time if my Chloe (who is a maltese) is a yorkie or maltese. Could they look any more different?!? LOL!

Marie · 07-24-2005, 11:06 PM

I agreed with you, Olivia doesn't look like a Chihuahua at all. She is so beautiful. Some people swear they know and dont know anything.

Yorkie_GirL · 07-24-2005, 11:16 PM

that picture screams Yorkie all the way!! I in no way see any resemblence to a long haired chi.

I know that all three of my furkiddo's look like chihuahua's only when they are wet in the shower lol...

A Chihuahua?? Did she need glasses? Your Olivia is so beautiful and looks nothing like a chihuahua.

I love Olivia's reaction. You should have said, "Watch out, Olivia, that's a short-haired ape."

rnnw62 · 07-25-2005, 12:40 AM

Very funny alaskayorkie! LOL...

Umm...your yorkie is about as close in appearance to a chi
as poodle is to a dachshund! My gosh the people in this
world that think they know everything just kill me....

Joy · 07-25-2005, 05:54 AM

Ahhh no!!!! She's a precious Yorkie girl. I walk my puppies alot and am always amazed at the number of people who come up and ask me what kind of dogs they are. Sometimes I feel like a Yorkie educator...LOL

red98vett · 07-25-2005, 06:00 AM

I think people who don't know the answer to something should learn to listen first and talk second...That was pretty ignorant of her to answer a question when she didn't know the RIGHT answer - a better way would have just been to ASK you ! lol...people will be people but some make you really scratch your head - even as a KID I knew what a Chi looked like vs Yorkies !

Someone asked me if Maximus was a shihtz-zu....lol

FireFish · 07-25-2005, 06:18 AM

She looks like a chi like she looks like an elephant.

Peopple need not say anything if they don't know. Sounds like she wanted to show her firiend that she knew something.
