| He's a BIG ONE mine's HALF THAT SIZE! ... HER: "Aren't they usually a lot Smaller, My girl is only 2 lbs!! the breeder was selling for standard I'm gonna show mine, I wanted it how it's supposed to be" Me: "Oh Really... Well you looked wrong, yours is BELOOWWW AKC Standards I can Show this lil Guy if I'd like, AKC Standard is 4-7 lbs... he is 5.6 lbs .. it's all fur lol .. the breeder must have told you that to sell the dog but they aren't supposed to be that small and I'm not sure you'll be able to show it but you can try, I am sure she's cute!" Her: "Well I like mine small so do they (her family) and his color aren't they usually gray like mine?" Me: "Yeah but he has a cotton coat so he most likely won't turn that silver color of the average Yorkie.. it's ok though huh baby?" (talking to Gucci) Her Husband: "He is just gorgeous, I love this color! Actually, I love this size, he is perfect and looks so rare.. I have never seen a Yorkie this color before .. he's beautiful.. ours has a pointy face huh honey? not like this one and his eyes are big, he looks like a stuffed bear" Their Daughter: "Awgh, he is so cute mommy!!! can I pet him?" Me: "Thank you very much, that makes him happy ... see" (Gucci wagging his tail and trying to get to this man from my arms) Her : "UGH well I like them smaller.. even if its not AKC standard but I think they are supposed to be small!!!" (stomping off) -------------------------------------------------------- BLAH!!! I hate bitter, angry people who have nothing better to do than try and insult people out of jealousy!! I honestly think she was jealous that her husband and kid seemed to fall in love with Gucci and he was bigger than her 2lb Yorkie at home.. I am sorry he is so stinkin cute that's not his fault OR mine, why be mean because of that. Besides, if you didn't like the way he looked why were you staring him forever? and why did you approach me asking me if you could see him? UGH people get on my nerves .. and normally I would never ever be not nice but she got on my nerves fairly quickly and I won't dare keep my mouth shut when you push me there.. I will ever so sarcastically.. get on yours right back... you will wish you hadn't gone there . Sorry guys I just had to vent.. Gucci is: 5.6 lbs 7.5 High 7.5-8 long maybe 8.5 he squirms alot Cobby, Furry and CUTE and well within AKC standards... So what the heck was this chicks problem?? He is hardly big he might not be TINY.. but that's OK.. so what was her deal? Everyone I think alot of you are familiar with Gucci but for those that are not here he is... my lil baby bear... He is 5.6 lbs, well within AKC standard and she said he was BIG!! |

| Your's is Gucci and ours is Prada! Hahah, I love it! What a ***** though, seriously. I think its so funny neither her husband nor kid backed her up, they couldn't fight Gucci's cute little face! He's gorgeous. But I completely understand, if I'm not being paid to deal with people's crap, and they push me far enough, I'm very sarcastic too. But she should've known better, poor, sad, ignorant woman. hahah.

| He is cute and I see your point but her dog is actually in the standard also. The standard is 7 lbs and under there is no minimum weight. It doesnt excuse how nasty and snobbish she was though I know

| lol seriously.. I cannot deal with rude people.. I just can't! I was raised with a firm belief in YOU TREAT PEOPLE HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED and I do apply that to my daily life! I think she was just sad and misinformed and then got jealous and annoyed with me.. It was very irritating to say the least. I personally love all yorkies whether they are 1-4lbs or 4-15 lbs doesn't matter to me... and I will one day have a 3-5 lb female BUT I CAN TAKE CARE OF IT AND I KNOW that it may be smaller than Standard (if on the 3lb side) But that doesn't mean I will LOVE GUCCI ANY LESS Because he will be about 6-7 lbs by then.. NO I WILL LOVE HIM JUST THE SAME.. and I would never ever discriminate or put someone elses CHILD down.. after all these yorkies are OUR CHILDREN. |

This is from the AKC website though .. I was told by a lady that is an AKC judge they are 4-7 lbs (standard anyway for show) I could care less to be honest but that was my comeback AKC MEET THE BREEDS®: Yorkshire Terrier Toy Group; AKC recognized in 1885.

| Ugh! I hate that! I always feel so bad for my Smokey (he's 13 lbs) because people always comment on how cute Chip is (he's 6.5 lbs) and want to pet Chip and not Smokey. Chip doesn't like people he doesn't know so he stands behind me, but Smokey is all happy to meet everyone and practically knocks them down to get some lovin' but people still ignore him. I think he's beautiful! I think both of my babies are beautiful! I just don't know why they care so much about size. Health and personality are more important to me than their size.

Gucci is a tad smaller than chip (most likely will max out chips size or so).. can you imagine that.. you have a 6lber you know they aren't big lol.. she was just nuts.. maybe her eyes were bad Quote:

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | What the...??? Adrianna, Aiden is a huge Yorkie. He's 12 lbs. That is because I think people forgot about the "Standard "size. Everyone is so into the smaller or dare I say... "Toy" that they have distorted sense of what the actual sizes of this breed is. She was ingnorant. Sadley they're everywhere. Gucci is adorable...bottom line. He's very well loved and cared for and most importantly...He's the YT Snuggle Sack Spokesdog!!!! He a model. Tell her to top that!! LOL

| Haha goodluck showing a 2lb bitch. When judges look at bitches they want to know that they should be able to safely whelp a litter. You usually want a bitch to be at least 5lbs with a good frame. You could put a smaller male in the ring but I still don't think one that is 2lbs is going to do that well. Yorkies are not supposed to be that small and good breeders strive to get dogs in the 4 to 7lb range. These people that think it is better to have a tiny dog are just stupid

| Im not trying to be argumentative but the YTCA writes the standard for the AKC so that is the AKC standard. When they say 4-7 lbs they are just giving a general rule. I dont want anyone on here that has a smaller yorkie to think they arent in the standard because that is incorrect

| lol Thank you Melissa!! Aiden is adorable as well.. I wish I could see more pics of him though I want to see some in his lil snuggy so he can be a Model too .... I think people also forget that our dogs are like our babies and it's not okay to see mean things to people you don't know.. nor is it okay to say mean things about their babies!!! .. Thank you again tell Aiden HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!!! |

I could see a smaller male being show possibley but a female? Of course Yorkies come in ALL SHAPES AND SIZES but to be shown there are rules.. Maybe the judge I spoke with was speaking of what they look for when judging 4-7 lbs. Chachi - No Worries, I'm not at all in argument mode nor do I plan to be anytime soon.. this woman annoyed me NO ONE ELSE.. I understand what you are saying as well. txrosegirl - Awgh thank you so very much!! and that is exactly how I felt.. | |
