I think reaction like that just some sort of people complexes, sorry. Your baby is very cute, so what if they tell "she is big". What's wrong to hear the simple fact? If yorkie standard up to 7, and someone' dog is 10 or more, it is normal reaction to say "she/he is big" . It doesn't make the dog less beautiful or worse!!!. Did they tell "she is ugly" ? I am sure they didn't .

I can easily discuss about quality of my baby. She is super cute, I often receive compliments that she is one of the cutest yorkies they have ever seen, but every time when people ask me "is she a show quality?" or even "are you going to breed her", I without any problems explain them what good quality yorkies is and why my dog is not show quality. And WHY dogs like mine should NOT be breeding - because according standard she is not show or even breeding class. I explain that she doesn't have perfect silky coat, but wooly, her body is disproportional a little bit (long body comparable small head, short "bulldog" front legs), and she has luxating patella and it is genetic. What's wrong with that? I want people know about details like that because some of them way too uneducated, but want to breed their puppy mill dog "they bought in pet store" (I spoke with those people)

I still love my baby, no matter how perfect she is. She still my best dog ever.

I wouldn't make a big deal from comments like that. Be easier
