I bet Derby is adorable. My Sophie Kate is a big rough and tumble kinda gal-- all 8 lbs of her. Don't let the dog park people get to you, I have had so many people tell me that Sophie Kate is not a "good Yorkie" I ask myself what does that mean, she is a GREAT Yorkie to me. I am so glad she is a little on the bigger side, she is sturdy as heck and can mix it up with the best of dogs. Go Derby!!! |

Well...don't get discouraged! By the sounds of it I think Derby is 10 lbs of WONDERFULLNESS!! I bet he is adorable...Lucky is about 7.5 lbs and when people hear that he is a Yorkis they say "ohhh myyy he's a bit big for a Yorkie!!" I say that " he is a healthy Yorkie and I love him the way he is!!" You will always get comparisions from others...don't let it bother you....it's not their size that you fell in love with it's their personality....which is HUGE!! XO |
As i try to tell my husband, he's not a teacup he's a d-cup. :d and the only teacup he fits in is the planter i got from walmart. When we got jj he was only 7 pounds, now a year and a half later he is 9 and a half pounds and his vet says thats a fine weight for a yorkie. Don't let anyone make you beleive he's anything other than full yorkie judi and jj |
First off let me tell you that Derby looks and sounds absolutly adorable, my kind of dog. As far as his size goes don't let those stupid people get you down. I get it all the time with my little Gizmo (notice how I said little lol) not only is he probably 16 pounds he is also a chocolate yorkie. So when people see him they tottaly freak out when I indeed confirm that yes he is all yorkie, I get the it can't be he's sooooo big, then they turn to Stellina and go there she's more in the norm( ha ya right little do they know little missy is anywhere between 8 and 10 pounds. no where near the norm lol) So if I'm on the mood to reply I just ask them if they knew that yorkies originally wheighed about 20 pounds therefor mine take after their antcesters, therefore all yorkie lol. Too bad we're too far because I'm sure my 2 would love to wrestle and tumble around toghether. Give Derby boy lots of love and hugs from his teapot friends.xo |
In defense of sissy dogs... Thor is definitely a sissy, but just like with people, it's bad doggy manners to keep trying to interact with someone who rebuffs you. I'm working on Thor's social skills, but he has been mowed over more than once by a small dog that's still twice his size, so I can see his point of view. It definitely doesn't help if a dog approaches him, and then refuses to get out of his space when he goes into full-on yappy lap dog mode. No means No. I'm sure your guy is wonderful, though. :) |
Sorry to hear Thor had that experience. Derby goes from dog to dog to try and find someone to play with. He's not aggressive that way. He moves on if you don't play with him. He gets bored too easily. I just got back from the dog park today, and he was going from big dog side, to small dog side. He was escaping through the fence! He was going where most of the "action" was! LOL! We had a pretty good day today. It seems Saturdays were far better than weekly day times. The owners are a lot nicer (regardless of age group), and the dogs seemed friendlier. Derby also seemed to have a lot more fun. We got a lot of attention today because he got to ride in his back pack so Derby had a nice "ride"! Everyone thought it was cute. Most people commented on what a big Yorkie he was, but not in a negative way. It was good to see him run around and play while being submissive as usual. He also gave lots of kisses to the other dogs today too! I guess I'll have to figure out what days are better to take him than others. But you guys are right! he is a "dogs, dog!" Total playful pup. |
Honey, I would not worry about what people say. I have had people tell me that my Max (who is an even 6lbs) is a "big" Yorkie... my Molly is even bigger than that.... so I just don't pay any attention to them. They think that ALL Yorkies are these little itty bitty handheld toys or something I guess. Its annoying to hear someone to make a comment about how big my babies are or something else like that... but it just goes to show how much they don't know! ;) Be thankful that you have a bigger baby, you won't have to worry about him as much while playing, jumping, etc. My 5 month old puppy, Ginger, is 3lb 6oz and let me tell you, she scares me to death every time she jumps off the couch or is running up and down our stairs. |
