I to get that all the time. Maggie has red leg in her genes and a slow growing somewhat coarse coat. I have been asked if she was a norwich terrier, a australian terrier. I just say no she's a Yorkie.
If they actually knew what those 2 terriers looked like they would see that there are big differences even if they are similar in color.
Then Dante weighs in at 10.5 lbs and people ask if he's a Silky. i just say nope he's a Yorkie he just ate too much as a pup. Tis leaves them looking confused.

Now Friday I have people asking me all the time what kind of dog is she.
But she is only 4 months old so they aren't sure I guess. I think that when people think of Yorkies they have this picture in their head and anything that doesn't look like that picture just isn't a Yorkie to them.
As far as the lady with the 3.5 lb Yorkie arguing with megansmomma, I would have told her then obviously you need to research Yorkies a little better.
