Sooo this evening an acquaintance distainfully told me that I had a very cute yorkie mix... I told her she was full yorkie and she sort of rolled her eyes.. lol. I don't know why but it chapped my hide. Yorkies, like all dogs come in a range of sizes... My dog growing up was a miniature schnauzer that actually was conformation size; those are way rarer than a conformation size Yorkie, but you never hear people say "oh your schnauzer weighs more than such and such so it must be a mix"... What's the deal with that? In the grand scheme of things I know it doesn't really matter. An awesome dog is an awesome dog, and I purposely got a bigger more sturdy yorkie for practical reasons, but ugh, it still bothers me!!! |
i know how difficult it is sometimes when people with inject their inexperience or biased opinions. I see it quite a bit when questions are posed in forums about Chorkies. I'm new here and the little bit I've seen so far, that isn't the case here. It may be though that I just haven't been around long enough to see it, but I'm hoping that isn't the case. I've heard many refer to Chorkies as mutts, that pregnant Chorkies should be rushed to the vet to abort the litter, that there are no reputable Chorkie breeders and anyone thinking of getting one is berated and discouraged. So my point it, people are going to give their unsolicited advice regardless of their knowledge or lack of knowledge. Just toss those comments in the circular file where they belong.
