I always compliment Yorkies when I see them around and very frequently when I do not have mine with me I get the snobby attitude. That is when I love to casually tell them "I have five Yorkies at home" people always choke on that...hehe
A few weeks ago I was at a local mall and I saw a lady with a baby (3 months old?) Yorkie. It was soooo cute. I had my Shayley with me and held her up to he girl and said "Your dog is so cute" she looked at me and said "Yours is too, what kind if dog is that?"
I told her "Mine is a Yorkie too and this is what hay grow up to look like". She was clueless...some dumb ?
Oh, I have so many "Yorkie stories" about how I'm told that my just under 4 lb. Yorkie is big and people want the "you know, little ones". I always tell them "the standard" and they too are clueless. Then I refer them to this site for useful information on the breed.
One more, last week, while picking my kids up from school one of the fathers, who I do not even know came up to me with his daughter to show her my Shayley (I take her everywhere
). He told her look how cute she is and then proceeded to tell me that he is use to seeing the "little ones" and mine was kind of big
hen he walked away with a snobby attitude. I wanted to throw something at the back of his head.
I guess in Los Angeles, there must be a lot of tinies??? I love all Yorkies and there is nothing wrong with bigger or smaller but since when did the general public become the judges in heir size and who gave some people the right to be such snobs!
Oh, I just re-read my post and I sound kind of mean...I am not I promise. I was wanting to start this thread and I just posted it here "venting".
