Latuya - Thank you for your response to my post
I wouldn't go so far as to say that people who use this term are "stupid."
We just have to realize that we have Yorkies, love them, and know a lot about them.
No one calls our little dogs "teacups" meaning it in a bad way at all. For them, it is just a term that means our dogs are very little.
Why do we let this bother us??? We should just say, "Yes, they certainly are very small."
I don't know much about horses, and I'm sure I would use a lot of wrong terms if I were talking with someone about their horses.
We may be "home-made Yorkie experts" ---but there are certainly a lot of things (including other dog breeds) that we don't know a lot about.
