Its not a weird place,but I was amazed at who I was talking to. I had an employee of Petsmart tell me that she was getting a "teacup chihuahua". I was VERY polite,the lady was very sweet. I did explain that although breeders use this term to SUCK buyers in. The AKC does NOT recognize the term "teacup" in any breed that I knew of. That it was a buzz word used to attract customers.
She was actually very nice and said that she needed the information,considering where she worked.
The term "teacup" kind of bothered my waaay before I owned a yorkie. My last poodle weighed 5lbs and the one I owned as a teen weighed less than 3lbs. Knowing what I know now,I am amazed that she lived to the great age of 13. I told people that they were just very little. |
