first of all, i wonder what a small yorkie is since they are all pretty small, but i would guess under 3lbs? under 4lbs?
a lot of people are annoyed because some people make comments about how yorkies are supposed to be tiny?
honestly, i think it's just lack of proper info. and education on the breed. the only people that tend to heavily advertise yorkies are the ones that advertise them as 'teacups', i had no idea that 'teacup' was a bad way to address tiny yorkies prior to joining this forum.
so for all the yorkie owners who have proper sized yorkies, i am sorry people make stupid remarks, they are just ignorant, not dumb. 
...so ignorant that i was told the other day that milu was a big doggie, because she is bigger than that person's 6 week old puppy...(milu is under 3 lbs. and one year old) it's ok, i forgive her. it's not her fault that she doesn't know doggies 'grow' ....... ok, maybe some people are just kind of dumb... |
Missy is under 3 lbs still and I am CONSTANTLY criticized for having a dog that is "too small". "She's not going to live very long", "She doesn't even look like a dog", "She's going to have health problems", "Why would you want a dog that's so small?", "Are you sure there isn't something wrong with her"...I could go on and on.
So it's not just people with average to large size Yorkies that are criticized, I'm getting ALOT of critical remarks from people about Missy's small size. You just can't please everyone!
What annoys me more is being criticized for dressing her up, doing her hair, and homecooking for her. I think that I'm just taking good care of her. All pets should be treated so well.
