and as far as only being concerned about weight...that really gets to me. We were at an ice cream shop the other day with Tucker. This one woman there...was being really obnoxious anyway...but then she saw Tucker and she was like "What is he?" and I was like "A yorkie." and then she walked over and started to play with him so I got down too to hold his leash tightly and she was like "Oh it's ok." and I didn't really say anything, then she stood up and she was like "Well, they're not usually so big!" and walked away.

I can understand if one of the questions someone asks a breeder is how big they will be, because for some people that is very important, whether it's for a medical reason (not being able to lift things over 10 lbs, maybe, or they live in an apartment with a weight restriction, or they just really, really want a smaller yorkie). But I think if they obsess over how big it will be, that's a problem.

I agree with you, Meggers.
