It's funny how so MANY people have this idea about Yorkies. Where did it come from? I have people constantly ask me if my dogs are "miniature" or "teacups", too.I take every opportunity to educate and say, "Yorkies are a toy breed, the breed standard is 4-7 pounds, and just like people-some are smaller, some are bigger". I wonder if WE have any misnomers about other animals? Dogs, cats, ferrets, whatever....I'm going to watch what I say or ask.LOL I guess " oh, what a cute______(insert animal)!" Is the best response. |
