Ugh...I hate how uneducated puppy-selling petstore employees are! One time I was in the Puppy Store here (HATE THAT PLACE!!!) and was looking at the puppies. There was a miniature schnauzer puppy that looked almost fullgrown already. I asked one of the employees how old he was and she said 3 months. I was surprised and asked how much he weighed right then and she said...oh, I don't know but he shouldn't get much bigger -maybe just fill out a bit. Okay...not an expert on schnauzers but a 3 month old puppy is going to grow ALOT! Idiots...

I have a 7lb yorkie so I'm sure when I tell people there is no such thing as a teacup some of them are thinking that I am just saying that since mine isn't tiny. So I love to see people with tiny ones educating people about there being no teacups. Way to go!

I work at a dog boutique right now. We sell dog clothes and specialty items and have a doggie day spa. Someone asked me if I knew a breeder for teacup yorkies today. I told them there was no such think as a teacup and that a yorkshire terrier is anywhere from 1-7lbs. I told them I didn't know of any breeders in the area but told them to come here and post and I'm sure someone here would. It's hard to educate people at work though because I don't want to offend customers so I have to be careful about how I do it... but when I'm not at work I don't LOL
