He's not a toy and he likes to run around outside and play with sticks and has a healthy puppy appetite. I happen to think he's gorgeous and handsome! I wouldn't walk up to someone and say, "Hey, you're kid has big bones!" That's all... just needed to vent. |
I totally understand where you are coming from. Scampers in my opinion is not very big, he is 5 pounds, and I still have people commenting and saying he is huge for a yorkie.
5 pounds is not huge and to be honest I love his weight, any smaller and I would be really afraid of him getting hurt. I think people are so use to seeing yorkies that are 2 pounds that when they see a yorkie that is within the standard of 4-7 pounds they think they are huge yorkies.
It really gets on my nerves that people can be so rude and ignorant.
