Those of us who have little yorkies and despise the type of person who uses them as accessories understandably get a little sensitive when this comes up. |
I mentioned the point about paris hilton and dogs as accessaries as a general statement, because those are main reasons why a lot of people like super tiny yorkies. I was in the mall the other day and a young girl was asking her mother for a teacup dog for christmas, because she wanted to "dress it up and tote it around in a juicy bag". It's sad, but a lot of people see them as a trend, but I also said of course no yters feel this way. I know YTers put a ton of energy, emotion, time, devotion and love into their yorkies and they don't have them to keep up with a fleeting "trend". But for people who don't value their yorkies like YTers and other responsible dog owners, this ignorant mentality fuels puppymills and people breeding too tiny moms
