I met a lady a few weeks back walking a lovely yorkie that looked to be around 5lbs...we stopped to talk and she seemed surprised by Pixie's small size saying, "oh thats a little one...mines supposed to be a teacup or something"..I never said anything...didn't think there was much point as people will be misinformed by breeders and its not really their fault. Funny thing was her yorkie was called Pixie too! I have to say though that this lady was a bit 'offish', she actually seemed a bit bummed that her yorkie wasn't the smallest!
I HATE that! she was a bit odd about it really and asked me to lift up Pixie's head so she could look at her face and asked lots of questions but she wasn't at all affectionate towards her or try to stroke her or anything even though I was stroking and talking to her yorkie...people can be strange sometimes...
