|  and again... I see these posts alot... a while ago I was at Petco with Chloe browsing around and a family saw her and was like awwww she looks like our baby how old is she? I said shes almost 17 weeks. Their reply was "wow, she is and shes still got alot of growing to do" Like she was big or something!!!! The mom said "yeah our puppy is a teacup" I wanted to just tell her "THERES NO SUCH THING, YOU WERE LIED TO SO YOU WOULD PAY MORE". But instead said "yeah, shes 3lbs...she will be only about 5-6lbs full grown".... Pretty sure 3lbs for a 17 week old is pretty small/average NOT big! I hate it when people think that a normal size yorkie is out of the norm. I want to just say sometimes "do your research" and realize that there are risks and not to encourage "breeders" to contine to breed for just a small size dog.

| Wow. Some people do not think before they speak! I have not had this experience, and I do not know how I would handle it! I do not understand this obsession with micro puppies... they are just more likely to get hurt!

| Ug...... why do people need so bad to feel superior to everyone? Like having a smaller dog makes them better... I just don't get it. When I had my Great Dane I got alot of.."My friend has a Dane who is MUCH bigger than yours" I just don't get it. Sorry you had to endure yet one more person who thinks a happy healthy pup is wrong in some way.... Hugs

| Call that an insult?!  I have a little one...and she has been called all sorts of names such as, Rat, Rodent...and pointed at and laughed at on the street..people can be just downright rude sometimes.. No matter what size or shape your yorkie is..there will always be some negative comment from one ignorant person or another...I can appreciate how irritating it must be

| Donating YT 500 Club Member  | I know its hard, but don't worry about what people say. Some people have to act superior to feel better about themselves. Unfortunately, there are alot of these people! I am constantly hearing how big Nolee is. Oh, well, I love him anyway and he's mine!!  |

 The same thing happened to me. Some women told me that Prince was a Silky and she said that on her dog's papers, it stated that she was a Yorkie, but she thought her dog was also a Silky. I actually explained some of the differences between the two breeds to her, and explained that Prince was AKC registered and was definately a Yorkie. We chatted for and while and said she really appriciated the info...she really didn't know.
