I think there are definitely stereotypes out there about small dogs and even just yorkies. They bug me and sometimes I choose to say something and sometimes I don't. My dad apparently almost really went off on a women in the pet store a week or so after I got Ollie when I was making his ID tag my dad was watching Ollie and a women was talking to him and she had apparently said well that's yorkies in a bad way and it really bothered him. I know my yorkies are a bit bigger so some of the stuff I have gotten has been related to that and calling Callie fat when her weight was perfect because she was a bigger yorkie. I am very thankful for the training place I have found they are extremely amazing and don't hold stereotypes against any dogs. I do feel pushed harder to prove stereotypes are wrong and maybe that's a good thing. Callie is 11 now so we don't do as much with her but she does have a trick title. Joey is a performer and is working on his expert trick dog title and I hope to champion him in trick training soon. I also signed a contract with my trainers to enter him into casting calls that fit him. He has been entered into 2 and has not gotten them but I have gotten a lot of feedback on him. Penny rocks at obedience and I hope to get her into an intermediate obedience class and then maybe eventually obedience competitions. I have just started to feel out what Ollie is going to be good at but I'm thinking it maybe agility although I know I have to wait until he is finished growing to really work on him with that. I don't feel like mine really fall under the stereotypes people give yorkies. Joey is the only one that is a barker and he does well with leave it and stop. Callie is the only one that is super stubborn. I know that me and my dad like to correct people when they call Callie spoiled and laugh at her being in a stroller at pet events mostly it is because she has had three leg surgeries and she is old she get tired fast and will start to limp if she walks for to long so her stroller is like her wheel chair. I pride myself in the fact that I have been told by many of the techs at my vets office and my groomer that I have the best yorkies. I think sometimes people don't train their smaller dogs so that helps get them a bad name. I have a friend on facebook who I grew up with her kids and she likes to say pit bulls are stereotyped against but then bash small dogs and it takes everything I have to just walk away. I hate it when people put everyone in groups. Hope I didn't just go on and on lol.
