this is funny..there is a thread where everyone is saying before they got yorkies that they thought they were mean and yappy because that was their experience with them. everyone is saying this is how they thought of them..
and then people here in this thread are admitting that they say their dog bites or other negative (untrue) things about the dog to strangers so that people wont pick them up etc. so then the strangers probably get a negative reaction to the dog.
these two things are so obviously connected
