Am I crazy or isn't an appropriate Yorkie coat supposed to be silky??
I read the yorkie coat thread and it says that.
And aren't silky terriers usually bigger than 5 lbs with much bigger faces?
Now, I have nothing against Silky Terriers as I am sure they are great dogs, but I really think Paddy looks like a Yorkie!
I don't know, I guess it just one of my little pet peeves when even people who own certain types of dogs seem to know absolutely nothing about their breed.
Anyone else get these comments?? |
I get the "Is she a teacup" comments, I use that as an opportunity to educate... unless i'm in a rush I just say no and keep on walking.
I've learned over time that alot of people just don't know dog breeds very well and their comments are really innocent. I have had labs for years, one of them was way over standard in weight. He weighed 120lbs, I was walking him around our neighborhood and someone came up to me to pet him and asked me if he was a rottie. I think I just about laughed, he was a black lab.. solid black. So, looking very perplexed I just replied and said, No he is a labrador. LOL I still laugh about it, but I figured this guy really didn't know much about different dog breeds to think a solid black dog was a rottie to begin with.
As far as someone with a yorkie arguing with the pp, thats just plain rude.
