Chihuahua's were expensive over here before they became a "fashion trend", mainly because there were limited breeders and not really a common cross breed.
Teenage girls aren't going to have the money to buy a Yorkie in the first place to be able to go "parading around with token dressed up teeny pup". I'm 25 and couldn't of afforded to buy Gypsy myself, my parents bought her for me as my birthday present and I wanted a Yorkie because there was Yorkie's in our house before I was even there and I grew up with them.
It annoys me how much of a big issue people seem to think it is that they have got Yorkies... look on Wikipedia and see how many celebrities own Yorkies... they aren't the only onces and I'm pretty sure film stars have less time to spend with their Yorkie's than Paris and Britney!

I'm not a Paris fan by any means... I just think it's wrong that she's getting so much thrown at her because she has a Yorkie...
