Your irritation is unwarranted in my opinion. She stated she wasn't a breeder but she appreciated the beauty in the dog. A dog does not have to be show ring material to be beautiful to most.
Someone on here actually posted that a member's dog was the "ugliest yorkie" she had ever seen (and the owner was not soliciting an analysis of his appearance at the time). That was the rudest thing I had ever heard on here to date. Most of us think ALL yorkies are the cutest dogs and we don't care that breeders are constantly critiquing appearance and complaining about pet breeders ruining the standard.
The fact is that there are far more companion yorkie fanciers than there are show yorkie owners and while I appreciate what some breeders do to preserve the standard to a certain extent, this type of arrogance where we get attacked if we call someone's dog gorgeous is inexcusable in my opinion.
Most of the people on this Board have dogs way outside the "standard" and they are all gorgeous!!!!!
