I tried to tell her what he was, but she insisted Hes some sort of another dog. She knows i love my dogs to death, i just dont get the comments...

Thanks for letting me vent!
I know it might be aggravating and the lady really should just not comment but... technically a Biewer is NOT a yorkie -- it is a relative of the Yorkie, but it is it's own breed. Cut down like you have him, I am not surprised someone not familiar with Biewers would know what he is. I did not know what a Biewer was until I joined Yorkie Talk.

Not sticking up for the lady as she doesn't sound like a prize but you will probably encounter many people who do not know what little Thom is other than a delightful little fellow. Just take the opportunity to nicely educate them.
