I guess I've been spending too much time here cause I'm suddenly really outspoken in defense of my furbaby!
"Really? What is the breed standard? You aren't sure? Well it's 7 pounds. What? Why yes. And are you aware there is no true catagory for a 'teacup'? That's right. If you look up breeding standards on the internet it'll probably tell you that it's a made up classification probably by people who are breeding underweight dogs for 'cuteness' and profit and not to advance the breed. I don't mean to offend. I did a great deal of research before I got my Amelia. I was concerned that anything under a certain weight would be financially a hardship what with the increased chance of illness what with the size and all............ But yours is just precious!" 
I usually save my sarcasm for family but no one disses the baby!
Yours definatly looks like a Yorkie. Don't let the snobs make you doubt. |
That's too funny lol! I'll have to remember to do just that next time someone tries to "tarnish his identity"!
