Yeah, what ABOUT that, huh?!

The thing is, "teacups" in most people's minds, are not the exception where yorkies are concerned, they're the rule.

Whenever I go to PetSmart, etc., people comment to me "Woah, you have a BIG yorkie!"

"I reply, no, no not really. He's AKC breed standard." - well, then that confuses people and they sqench their face and look at me confused.

I had to explain to a lady yesterday how some breeders are breeding them smaller and smaller so they can jack up the prices...and though they may be cute, they have lots of health problems, etc. And THEN I explained what the AKC looks for in a show yorkie.

By this time the person was annoyed with hearing more Yorkie info. from me than they wanted to know. But that's not fair for her to say "woah, you have a BIG yorkie!"

SULLY IS A NORMAL YORKIE, PEOPLE GET IT IN YOUR HEADS STRAIGHT!

i can so relate to what your saying. its almost better to just let them think what they want and ignore it rather than explaining it but people need to know the breed standard if they are going to comment on our babies.

i have a bucket yorkie

Julz · 07-29-2005, 09:41 AM

Yeah, I guess I do too. I couldn't squish Tiah into a mug if I tried. She would fit comfortably in a bucket though

taje · 07-29-2005, 09:43 AM

Pita's 4 pounds, small compared to other dogs but not a tiny yorkie,

Somebody asked me the other day if she was a miniature??? I had no idea how to respond to that, I just said she's within breed standard although on the light end.

It's hard to explain to people that yorkies just come in different shapes and sizes, like people!

Mystify79 · 07-29-2005, 09:45 AM

LOL! I used to call Tuffy my Big Gulp Maltese since he's a whooping 7 pounds.
