She is healthy and perfect and we will love her no matter how big she gets, but it gets so frustrating having to explain that there is no such thing as a teacup yorkie and that Chloe is pretty average. My friends with yorkies have males which I find to be often smaller than females too. I guess I really feel like people are questioning if she is a "true yorkie", like I want to carry her papers in my pocket! This is more of a vent that anything, just irritated with stupid people! I wish people could just say how cute she is and stop pointing out her size! Thanks, I feel better now! |
Missouri is a wonderful state, my brother's inlaws live there and my brother was stationed there for many years...however; Missouri is one of those states where puppymills run amuck wreaking havoc on the breed...I'm sure the teacup rage is abound there and that might be why you hear that so often...
I always get "omg they are so tiny"...Mia is 12lbs...so go figure, Mini is your average 7lbs give or take a pound or two depending on her current ever fluxuating health state...Vinnie is smaller but he is in the middle of a growth spurt...when people ask, I say they are all Terriers...people know that word and let it go at that, I don't pussyfoot around when someone asks about teacups I immediately say "omg don't let anyone rip you off that's just a word the cons use to get you to pay too much money...if anyone tells you they breed teacups it means they are trying to rip you off and are bad breeders"...immediately.
