People are just plain rude sometimes. The saddest part is they don't even realize they are being rude sometimes and they think we are being to emotional and such. Wrigley barks up a storm when someone walks into our apartment... until they greet him of course lol

Most would be bad guys want nothing to do with any dog even the little ones and the barking will cause a problem.
Look at the source clueless and mean sprited. Shake it off and ignore them. They have no idea.

That's what I told them, that even hearing them bark would deter a bad person away and one of them made little yipping arfing noises and said "Oh yea that's scary."

To heck with what she thinks of a small dog.... we are the fortunate ones that have our Yorkies! They don't .. and could never understand the joy that comes with our being so fortunate.. their loss not ours!!!

And to the really fortunate ones with two or more Yorkies... double

awww Some people are just rude and thoughtless!!! Don't let it bother you! Our mix dog Dakota weighs almost 80 lbs..and My Daizy (5 lbs) thinks she is every bit as big as Kota when it comes to someone coming to our house!! lol Size doesn't matter in the mind of a yorkie! Probably why I love them so much!! Tiny Lions at heart!!

I just bought a shirt for a yorkie boy that said, "little dog, big attitude" I thought it was perfect!!

Taylor is our skunk alarm. She has the ability to hear and or smell them from inside the house and will always sound the alarm whenever one is near.

Those people who tease us about our little darlings just don't know what they are missing. I know because SADLY before we acquired Taylor nearly 5 months ago I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. (SORRY YORKIE LOVERS EVERYWHERE) Up until then we were big dog owners and to be honest I never knew what people seen in these little SWEETHEARTS. Well NOW I KNOW and I am FOREVER a Yorkie lover.

You need to send them a link to AlaskaYorkie's website article about people making fun of little dogs. It was a great article!

Jeri Cunningham · 10-17-2008, 07:41 AM

You know this is one reason I like Yorkies better than people, have you ever heard a Yorkie put a person down based on size or whatever!

luvnmymax · 10-17-2008, 06:45 PM

Well....Captain Jack is a lover not a fighter, but I've gotta tell you I feel safer with my 4lb chihuahua sleeping in my daughter's bed than I would with my 40lb springer spaniel there. That little chi loves my daughter dearly. If someone tried to hurt Payton(daughter), Fiona(chi) would definitely defend her! She would chew their toe off or die trying!!!! It is really amazing how loyal these little guys are.

Don't worry about it... Some people are just rude for no reason.

BethPurk · 10-17-2008, 08:41 PM

Sadie sleeps in the living room at night. I can hear her walk up and down the hall sometimes (we have hardwood floors and Im a light sleeper) and it reminds me of a soldier standing watch or something! When someone knocks on the door, her ears perk up and she trots right over to the door waiting for someone to open it so she can investigate the visitor (normally by jumping up on them demanding a "Hello" from them. Something I have to teach her not to do, somehow). What I like to think is that Sadie is my alarm system. She isnt going to take down anyone but she is going to let us know that something is going on that we need to pay attention to! Thats more reliable than HOPING your big dog would attack someone if they broke in. Atleast I KNOW Sadie will bark and raise hell at them first to let us know something is going on.

"Thats more reliable than HOPING your big dog would attack someone if they broke in. Atleast I KNOW Sadie will bark and raise hell at them first to let us know something is going on."

I have 4 yorkies and one big dog (1/2 Husky, 1/2 Akita). When someone's at the door whether it be day or night - our little ones let us know, the big dog ONLY starts barking after the little ones bark first.

So yeah, you are exactly right! Some people are just clueless!

kwaymon · 10-19-2008, 06:38 AM

Ya know what? That's just not true! I had an 8 lb Silky that sounded like a german shepard! He ran after someone once and she jumped up on the hood of her car and wouldn't come down even afer I retrieved him! Another time I got lost trying to find the interstate in a big city. My little 8 lb. dog would not let anyone near my car and one guy just walked away and mumbled that he wasn't gonna do that!
