| I know what kind of dog I have!!! Capone is a teapot yorkie and I love him to death and couldn't imagine a more perfect dog fot me. He is a little less than 10 lbs and has adorable floppy ears. He has a beautiful shiny silver coat. People always say he's too big to be a yorkie he must be a silky. Usually if people say what breed, a silky? I just shake my head and say yes. I personally don't really think there is a major difference in the breeds and I don't really care. But the other day I was at obedience class and a lady says oh is he a silky, I just say yea and move on. Well during introductions I introduce him as a yorkie, the lady that previously asked if he was silky rudely interupts me and says I think he looks more like a silky than a yorkie, he's not as small as most yorkies. It's my dog and why does it matter to her?! My yorkie may not be a perfect standard but he's my yorkie, he could even be a silky and I wouldn't care, but I just thought that was so rude of her!

| people always say Molly must be part yorkie part westie, because she is chunky. She is pure yorkie, but just a bit (ok, a lot) bigger than the norm. |

| Yorkies are like people--they come in different shapes and sizes. Some are rude and some have been to obedience class!

| I have been told about 282727227 times that "Oh, he looks like a Silky!" about Jackson. I don't even care. He's 12.5lbs so people automatically think there's no way he could be a Yorkie. I have reason to believe he's probably mixed w/ Silky but I do think there's some Yorkie in there. I purchased him from a non-reputable breeder so he very well could be mixed with something else or simply a badly bred Yorkie. Either way, I love him the way that he is and wouldn't WANT a tiny little Yorkie. I would worry far too much. I like Jackson the way he is and wouldn't change a thing.

He's not a show dog, he's our PET. He has droopy bigger size ears, he's a bigger size yorkie, and although people look at him and say Yorkie!! He doesn't fit standard sizing... oh well. I guess we'll know more when he grows up. Let the Yorkie snobs say whatever they want | |

Prince and I went to Pet Smart yesterday, and one women said that Prince was "soooo small" and "every yorkie she had ever seen was bigger than him." I said he's within standard and she just looked at me. You see, you can't win.

My husband set out to get a bigger Yorkie in the first place ('health reasons" and he didn't want a "pocket dog"), and that's exactly what we got. If you go and read the "What has your Yorkie done for you thread" You'll read my funny little story about how I was never a "dog person" until Derby came into our life. My husband surprised me this guy after I picked out what kind of dog I wanted off a list of possible small dog breeds offline. To make a long story short, I wanted a cat and said as long as our dog was the size of one! I would get a dog. (I have scars on my hand from being by a dog badly, you get the point) At the end of the day, I love him and last night I spoiled him and let him sleep with on the couch! out of his bed! because I was sick with a fever and want cuddles... I can't imagine my life without him!!! Last edited by DerbyLayne; 10-04-2009 at 09:31 AM. | |
