She said first his ears are right on top of his head and they're supposed to be off to the side. Then she said his legs and body are too long and his snout is too long also. Now I realize he's got a long body with long legs, but he's still only 6.5 pounds! But hers were tiny with the babydoll faces, and while he doesn't look like that, I can't believe he's not a Yorkie!
Anyway, she told me he's a Silky Terrier. When I got home I googled the Silky, and he doesn't look like that to me! It makes me sad that someone would doubt his "Yorkieness"!  Here's a pic of him...what do you guys think? (sorry about the quality...it's off my phone because my camera broke.) |
She said "first off his ears are on the top instead of off to the side"? and "his legs and body too long"??? Who does she think she is? Yorkie queen? If she really knew yorkies, she should know that they are standard (according to AKC) to be between 4 and 7 lbs, and NO WHERE does the AKC mention ear postioning, or leg and body or snout maximum lengths! how can you say that to a complete stranger? What a b*tch!!!!
