That lady was awful! Some people just think they know it all! And if she's such an "expert" why did she even have to ask what breed he is. She may be an "expert" of breed standards, but doesn't she know that dogs, no matter what the breed come in all shapes, colors, and sizes... just like humans! And seriously, she's probably just a 4H dog judge anyways!
Show your friend a picture of my boys. Smokey is really silver, 14 lbs, and floppy eared and Chip is black as black can be and is 9 lbs and they are both 100% yorkies.
