| A man did that to me a few weeks ago. He had a teacup and tried to tell me my 9 pound baby couldn't possibly be a yorkie. It was far too big....... I guess I've been spending too much time here cause I'm suddenly really outspoken in defense of my furbaby! "Really? What is the breed standard? You aren't sure? Well it's 7 pounds. What? Why yes. And are you aware there is no true catagory for a 'teacup'? That's right. If you look up breeding standards on the internet it'll probably tell you that it's a made up classification probably by people who are breeding underweight dogs for 'cuteness' and profit and not to advance the breed. I don't mean to offend. I did a great deal of research before I got my Amelia. I was concerned that anything under a certain weight would be financially a hardship what with the increased chance of illness what with the size and all............ But yours is just precious!" I usually save my sarcasm for family but no one disses the baby! Yours definatly looks like a Yorkie. Don't let the snobs make you doubt. |

| Looks Yorkie to me! I had someone tell me my Ginger is not a Yorkie once too. She said she's too big to be a Yorkie and that she is really a Silky. Of course I thought and still think she was full of crap. My Yorkie is 10 lbs, so what! |

| Ginger is 10 lbs. I checked with a Yorkie site and asked someone very knowledgeable about Yorkies and was told Ginger IS a Yorkie and that they have seen Yorkies as big as 20 lbs. They said not all Yorkies are small. I have seen a lot of other people with larger Yorkies since then. I guess some people think the only true Yorkie is a small Yorkie. I think they need to do more research about the breed before dissing someone's baby! |

and just so you know. i have never seen a silky in person, but i would imagine that they look very similar to yorkies. so it's not that bad if people confuse them. i also had asked someone before if their yorkie was a silky, only because it was not like the yorkies i have seen before. that yorkie had a longer snout. so i thought maybe it was not a yorkie. but i wasn't trying to be mean, and i hope that lady was not offended that i asked her that...i wish more people would post pix of silkies so we can see the difference between silky and yorkie.

| I think what BJH was trying to say is that the babydoll look doesn't define a Yorkie, as they come in all shapes and sizes! But Milu is a cutie pie!! |

| Yorkies come in all different shapes and sizes! I wouldn't have stood there long enough to listen to her explanation of why my dog wasn't a yorkie!!!! FORGET her!!!!! Bailey has long legs and a long body too. God help anyone that tries to tell me that he's not a Yorkie! Your baby looks all Yorkie to me I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but people like this woman make me so angry.

so is baby doll face a wrong description for yorkies? like 'teacup' is wrong? i am a bit confused? i have seen breeders describe their yorkies as baby doll face, compact body. is that right? or just marketing? like 'teacup' size description?
