| What is the one... Misconception people have about your furbabies? People who hear I have 4 dogs first assume that my house is dirty or stinky. I know this because the first time they come over, I hear "OHhhhhh you can't tell you have 4 dogs, your house is so clean"! Then they see my babies and say "OHhhhhh your dogs are so beautiful and clean... They don't smell like dogs". What in the world did they expect I wonder?

| I agree. I have 4 and my house is clean. Maybe because it doesn't have that dirty big dog smell!!!

| I can only imagine what people think when I tell them we have four cats and one dog and Jack (our yorkie) is potty trained in the house. LOL They must really think we are filthy. Actually for four cats and a dog, our house smells pretty clean too. The one misconception I get is that Jack is yappy. Which is so not him. He will bark on occasion but is not a yapper.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | I think the biggest misconception is always that yorkies are yappy. I think for the most part people think that small dogs are all yappy. Bubbles is very quiet other than when she is playing like a maniac and having a game of chase with my kids and nieces and nephew.

YT 500 Club Member | I think people's biggest miconception about Meg is that she is without a personality and/or too small to have fun with. She is a tiny, tiny little thing, but she doesn't know it. She loves to play and meet other people.

| I hate that people always assume because you have a dog you have a dirty house! We've never had a problem keeping our house clean & smelling good. But I did date a guy who's mom had 2 or 3 big dogs (I don't remember what kind they were) but she just let them poop in the house and then if she didn't feel like cleaning it right away she would just throw a towel down over it. Sometimes it would sit for days. And the horrible thing was is she wouldn't allow us to wear shoes in the house! Now that was STINKY house!

| The biggest misconception I hear over and over is...Ankle biters!! All my friends and family call my yorkies and Biewer's "ankle biters, and noise makers". Well, I will give them the noise maker part, as my crew certainly can make some noise on occasion. However, ankle biters they are not!! They are the sweetest, most people orientated pups in the world.

YT 500 Club Member | Over here its the popular misconception yorkies are snappy, unfriendly dogs. Also at the moment thet assume they're purse dogs who never get to walk. Even vets have been surprised at how frienly my dogs are and most people are shocked my two little ones get one hour walking a day. |

| some do My daughter has 4 beagles and her house will smell bad if the dogs have been brought in. I think it's because they are outside most of the time. My Zippy is paper trained for inside and I change the pads after every deposit no matter what the consistency. My house does not smell bad. My mother has a larger yorkie who spends more time outside. She has more trouble with him bringing in an odor. |

| I have 6 so I know what you are saying. I also have white carpet and not a speck on it. I think most people are under the assumption big dogs, when they hear 6 yorkies most have a different opinion. I would rather have 6 yorkies than six small children anyday!
