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 wouldn't let comments like this bother me. I think that because Yorkies have become such a popular breed, and you have all these actors with their "purse puppies" that people just expect them to be really small. I have to admit that there have been times when I saw a bigger than, what the standard says they should be, size yorkie I questioned whether or not it was a Silky...They look so much alike...It's hard to tell if they are a Silky or just a bigger yorkie. I honestly wouldn't let something like this upset me...If you are happy with you little one...who cares what somebody says....Just ignore them...
