Looking at it from the other side I think you have to remember that vets are well versed in dog medicine, not breeding and showing. Some vets MAY know there is no such thing as a breed yorkie "teacup" and may use it referring to size not breed. I am sure (and hope) that they are busy studying medicine and not the political correctness of terms. I would be more upset if the vet had no idea what this breed is prone to than if they knew teacup wasn't a good term.
My vet has never mentioned that Mignon is a teacup or that Rio is a teapot, he calls them tiny and big. I really don't care what he calls them as long as he knows what the breeds specific problems are. |
