My goodness! What a pretty yorkie. That little girl was either just trying to act grown up and start an adult conversation, or she was just mixed up about how a maltese looks. either way, she was wrong. Your baby is so yorkie through and through; but if she were to be mistaken for another breed, a maltese is sure a cute one too. sometimes it is hard to not react to things said about our fur babies, I'm not nearly so protective of my skin babies ( of course they have never been refered to as a maltese)
