You simply will not accept how wrong you are. I know all about excuses. The most famous excuse I hear from people surrendering their yorkies is that their boyfriend or husband will not allow the pup to stay. Or...we are moving to a place that does not allow pets.
The real reason for surrenders: I said it in a previous post: Irresponsible pet owners.
I can tell you, though, that although you keep insisting you are right as usual, you are not. One of the MAIN reasons for surrenders of yorkies is NOT SIZE. No one has said that it does NOT happen....we are saying that would be rare! I have met MANY yorkie owners who would bristle at your remarks because quite frankly they border on a bit of arrogance and do insinuate that larger yorkies are substandard. The whole world is NOT showing yorkies...they are looking for PETS! Sadly, many people get yorkies because they are popular and they do not take the time to research them. They do not realize these are not toys because advertisement makes them look as such. Anyone who is obsessed with size just might not be the best pet owner....not always true...but when I see people focus only on that, it is a concern. They need to research the breed. I try my level best to educate people about the issues that yorkies have that many people cannot tolerate because I do not want them to be cast aside. Size is NOT something I warn them about.
Housebreaking is the very first thing I tell people...it is a main concern for many. Also....the fact that yorkies are high maintenance...people get them and end up not being able to afford to properly care for them. Those are two that jump up at the top of the list. Not SIZE!
But, I can see, you never, ever leave without having the last word no matter what. I hope your people who are nice enough to PM you can convince you otherwise on the issue of surrenders because you really are doing a disservice to yorkies in need.
