My guess is this girl doesnt know that much about these dogs at all! When I first started learning about Yorkies before I bought mine, I thought there were toy, teacup and standards... I didnt know what those terms meant. I did my research and found out that there is no such thing REALLY as a toy or teacup yorkie, that the term is just a term for a smaller baby! My Dexter is 4.5lbs, and my Fletcher is 7.5 lbs. They are brothers from the same litter, both the same age (obviously) and people ask me all the time why Dexter is sooooo small! I asked my vet, and she said that Dex is normal, she said Fletcher is a GIANT yorkie! hahaha (she was kidding, she said fletcher was a bit above normal for the usual standard breed and Dex was in the normal weight range, thats it) |
Your very right - I guess when she got defensive about me saying there is no such thing was due to the fact that that is what her friend told her. I'm sure she went and told her friend after that I said that.
I don't consider Kimber very small. I don't really care what size she is either - if she weighs 4 pounds I of course will worry about her all the time - but I think I would worry the same about if she were 7 pounds. I just think it's weird when you show people your 2 pound PUPPY and they say that she is BIG!
