For over 40 years I have had comments made or quesrions asked about what kind of dog, or isn't it big or such. My answer to "what kind is it?" I lean over and whisper "He really is a Yorkie. We don't dare tell him he is not a Rottweiler, though, so we let hime think he is" Always with a grin on my face. About the size, I say "Just could not get him to read the part about weight in that damn breed standard book so he kept growing to catch up with the neighbor's dog".
Usually, I get a HUUMPH and they walk away.
A friend in Australia has a saying "It matters not a twit the looks, as long as you love the dog!" That is my philosophy. too.. |
