"What made you get a dog that big... don't they run around your house and break your china?" Don't they slobber all over you messing up your clothes and stuff?"
I know stupid statements indeed but you know what "somebody loves and prefers it! I don't know why someone would want one of those dogs with the dreads or cords because that HAS to take a LOT of time and work, but obviously someone has the time and dedication and LOVE of the breed to do it.
And another question... WHY IS IS OK TO SAY TEAPOT BUT IT IS A MORTAL SIN TO SAY TEACUP??? WHEN DESCRIBING SIZE?
I think there is some serious hating going on here weither or not someone would admit it, otherwise why even bother asking these questions and making these statments about size if you didn't secretly care? Wanting a smaller yorkie is no different then wanting a small Chi, and wanting a larger yorkie is no different then wanting a beagle or some other smiliar size dog. And wanting either one doesn't matter as long as that dog is loved and cared for problems and benefits all rolled into one! |
No one said it's a mortal sin & using the word HATE is pretty strong for a yorkie lover site.....
but to answer your post....IN MY OPINION - the reason the word teacup gets flack is because it's misleading.
People who don't know better think their IS such a breed as teacup yorkie - and in general - breeders who use the word to sell puppies usually jack up the price.. I've seen many sites that scream teacup who are selling perfectly average yorkies.... OR breeding very tiny females so they can charge big bucks.
How many times has someone posted their Breeder sold them a TEACUP and they ended up with an average size yorkie ???
How many people are now breeding very tiny females and charging outrageous prices ???
That's sad for the little tinies....& yes - We've all and heard about some itty bitty yorkies having some major health issues due to the fact that a breeder intentionally went too small - the word in general isn't offensive -
it's how it's used. The word teapot isn't used as a selling tool - so there's no comparasion in the 2 words.
that's only my opinion and I mean nothing by it - just something to think about
