Don't take it as an insult! Your baby is adorable! And you sya yourself people go on and on about how cute he is! Many people do not realize how much a Yorkies changes from puppy to adult. They think "yorkie" and think "long flowing hair" like they see on the televised Dog Shows.

BTW -- when they ask if he is a toy -- the answer is YES! All Yorkies are Toy dogs -- the Breed is classified by AKC as TOY.

All this frustration and you have only had him a week? Just wait....you still get to run in to the guy who will call him a rat, the people who say "get a real dog" and all the other folks that you can just smile at and know they have no clue about the wonderful world of owning a Yorkie! Don't take comments negative. Think of a way to turn them around. If they are so rude they can't be turned around, either use it as an education opportunity and let them know nicely, or just ignore them altogether. You know you have a handsome little Yorkie there. Think of all those people who will never even know the joy!
