Speaking of that, I was walking Bailey last night, we run into this woman with a very small Lhasp Apsa and very small Jack Russell, she looks at my 10 pound Yorkie and says kinda snotty,, " what kind of dog is that?" I said " Yorkie" She said " OhHHH, HE'S BIG." I said, " No, not really, most are bred to be tiny, I said the breed standard it 5-7 pounds he's 9-10." I wanted to say,, " Obviously like YOUR DOGS WERE." But I didn't it just pisses me off.. if he's bigger than standard, he is a defect,, but if they are smaller,, it's great,and the way it should be...
So, there's my opinion.
