Why do some Yorkie owners act like this I am just venting. My Yorkie Rickles weighs 10 pounds. He was 7 pounds when I got him but you could count his ribs. He is not overweight in the least. My vet says he is the perfect weight for his frame. Then I got a puppy and he is 8 months old and weighs 6 pounds. He too is not fat just healthy. Well anyway this lady at work saw them and said "oh you have the big yorkies - we always have the little yorkies." Then she proceeded to tell me that They always had tiny yorkies not big ones like mine. She just went on and on. I just don't understand that sort of thing. I have 2 of the most beautiful yorkies you've ever seen and they are perfect to me. It just got me that she was saying my yorkies were inferior. Has anyone else run into that sort of thing?

Yep I had one lady at a festival say to me oh you have the larger yorkies. They are 6 and 11 lbs and I like ther sizes. Just ignore people like her |
I think she probably did not realize her words could be offensive. Some folks just have NO clue regarding social skills. I like both my yorkies, my teensie 3# and my big old 6#... it is all a matter of the doggies personality, not their size! |
Just ignore them............just like people, animals come in all shapes and sizes! Consider yourself lucky.....that just means you have more yorkie to love!!!!:p |
There have been several threads along time that have said the samething. Yes, those of us who have the larger Yorkies have heard this also. Most people who say these rude comments have no understanding of the breed. They only know that Yorkies are suppose to be small. Next time someone makes a comment like that educate them and say that the original Yorkshire Terrier weighed up to 20lbs! That should stop them in their tracks:p I love the Teapot's. You can play rougher with them and not worry so much about their little legs and knees. I find it much less stressful raising Buddy then if he were 3-4 lbs. I would have had a stroke by now with the things he get's into. Don't feel bad she didn't know any better is all. Good luck with your "Teapot". |
I've always had tiny Yorkies too but I've never belittled anyone for having larger ones. My best friend had one named Peggy Sue...she was 22 pounds and beautiful! I've loved Yorkies since I was a child and I've always been able to see the beauty in them no matter what their size was. I will tell you this though...my Biewer girls are 6, 7 and 8 pounds and I love their larger size! |
ya know, I get the total opposite if I get anything at all! People are always amazed at how little my dogs are, they are 8.5lbs and 5.5lbs... they always ask why they are soo different when they are brothers! LOL I just laugh, such a dumb question! But whatever... breathe in, breathe out and let it go... it ain't worth being upset about at all! Your pups are what they are! Just tell her that! |

:( ... I so know what you are talking about ! See here it is ... OMG she is soooo small ... why is she so small. Whats wrong with her ... bla bla bla It upsets me a lot ... Maya is the way she is and there is nothing I can change. So YES I can relate to that ! |
I get the same, people come up to me and are rude asking me why I have such a small dog and how bad it is. I just want to slap them, it is not like I. went out looking for a small dog. She is 5LB and a little over weight but I just happened to get her and save her life and there are all these people out there that have no idea what they are talking about and it is frustrating. I am venting sorry. |
Those people probably use the term "teacup" also:thumbdown Some yorkies just keep growing just like people do, but usually they don't need diets like people:p |
I think if some one is saying something offensive to you about your yorkies, you should let them know... If they are friends they should be kind!!! I have had people say mean things because Chewy is from a pet shop. it kills me and I stick up for my baby. If some one was bashing my skin kids I'd have something to say!!! |
I have 6 now and they are all different sizes:) i get asked that by my friends all the time, Why is that one so much smaller then that one, why is that one so much darker in color then that one..the questions never stop:rolleyes: i just smile and say ( got Me );) |
Same here.. I get the ol'.. Oh he must be the Standard Size. :rolleyes: I always say.. There is only ONE size of Yorkies.. jsyk.. |
Girls dont feel alone, i get the same thing, hmmm must be doing something wrong :eek: |
