"He doesnt look like a yorkie"... UGH

[bchgirl]

He doesn't look like a yorkie...because he's not.

She thought he was a snauzer wiener dog mix. haha.

It doesnt bother me so much that she wouldnt listen to what kind of dog he is, it was that she wanted PUPPIES...

That is priceless!!! lol - Will have to remember that one. What a riot!

I tried to tell her what he was, but she insisted Hes some sort of another dog. She knows i love my dogs to death, i just dont get the comments...

Thanks for letting me vent!

I know it might be aggravating and the lady really should just not comment but... technically a Biewer is NOT a yorkie -- it is a relative of the Yorkie, but it is it's own breed. Cut down like you have him, I am not surprised someone not familiar with Biewers would know what he is. I did not know what a Biewer was until I joined Yorkie Talk.

Not sticking up for the lady as she doesn't sound like a prize but you will probably encounter many people who do not know what little Thom is other than a delightful little fellow. Just take the opportunity to nicely educate them.

I didnt tell her he was a yorkie, i told her he was a biewer. I tried to explain, but then she came up with her "Schnauzer wiener dog mix" so i kinda gave up. hehe! I was still surprized when she asked if i was going to breed them... My feelings arent "hurt" over the confusion on what kind of dog he is. Its just annoying.

When she came home with her pound dog (that shes now giving back to the pound) i didnt make comments to her on how the dog was an odd mix, or looked wierd...

Biewers are for special people; obviously your neighbor has no clue. Enjoy Thor and continue to try and educate everyone about your Biewer baby.

Sorry about that, im great about confusing people, even myself sometimes.

It was funny because we were intending on getting another yorkie, and that was the first thing that popped out of her mouth. I tried to explain, and all she seems to care about is if im gonna breed them. She even knocked on my door today, asking me if i was SURE i wasnt going to breed them.

Arent' you glad you know more than her? lol

Well, i was actually trying to inform her. It was sad she wouldnt listen She thinks my Macy is just the cutest thing, and wants one.

When she came over earlier asking if we had changed our minds about breeding, my husband spouted off "Do you know anything about these dogs, or how much they cost!? Why would she breed them when Thom is twice her size". I almost FAINTED.

The lady has 3 kids under 3, and just wants something cute. No way. Not from me, those kids are vicious!

Snicks is 10 pounds and on the lean side. Sometimes people say "that's the biggest yorkie I have ever seen." and I always ask "how many yorkies have you seen?". Some poeple ask if he is a teacup and I say "no, he a crock pot yorkie" and they will say they never knew there was crock pot yorkie and if I went to a crok pot yorkie breeder.
