Many people do not know the Yorkie's breed standard. I wish you never met that woman in the store that day. She got ugly. Gatsby is adorable.

We all know your Yorkie is within the weight standard for Yorkies. Too bad this woman does not know that Yorkies should weigh seven pounds or less. Some people assume that if a dog does not meet part of the breed's standard then the dog is not purebred. Josh does not represent the best specimen of the breed, so I am prepared for people to tell me Josh is not purebred. Right now, I am lucky that I have not met those types of people, but I am prepared to meet them someday.

In my opinion, people do not have the right to lecture people over the breed of their dog. We all love dogs, so we should find the beauty in all dogs.
