My pet peeves are your first two about them being ankle biters and the "it is just a dog" sentiment. I want to strangle people when they say that last one. They don't understand, these are my kids and anyways you should have the respect not to be callous and rude.
My third pet peeve is when they think all yorkies are yappy. Mine are not yappy. Again this is something you can control. If you let your dog yap all the time, they will continue to do so. Mine only bark when company is over and that is only for a minute before they calm down because they know they aren't allowed to continue barking.
Oh and the whole teacup thing, that really gets to me too. Just because a dog is tiny does not mean they are automatically a teacup all of the sudden yet some really believe teacups are a separate breed. They don't use it to describe the dog's size, they really believe it is a separate division of the breed like standard poodles and toy poodles. |
