I have a TEACUP Yorkie. I have heard this twice in the past week from 2 different people who I have encountered while out with Pita. Both of these people have said it like their dog was better than mine! Pita weighs just under 4 pounds!! Omigod! One of these people was like mines' only 1.8 pounds...la di da... i asked how old it was and he said 4 months!! Like the dog is done growing! I am not bashing tinies or anything but damn! Pita is tiny as far as I'm concerned and these people act like she's giant!! It's just aggravating that not only are these people uninformed about their own dogs but they act like they have something that's more valuable than Pita. just venting i guess.... grrr.... |
I know I have encountered someone like that also. And my Jewels is only 4 lbs also. Shes small enough to me. On the other hand there are alot of people on here that have small ones that you never hear brag about their dogs size. It will just come up casually in a thread so not everyone who has a little yorkie views it as a status symbol. |
Mines both 5 lbs . I have never had that problem. everyone that sees mine always think they look so little. |
I have never had anyone say that to me but I think I would just say oh, how nice for you and invite them to our yorkie meetup and YT. If they said it in a "better than you" way i would feel sorry that they so insecure as to need to brag and that maybe they needed some help from the generous members here at YT. :) |
awwwwwwww..........lol...... tell them toby will come and eat their "teacup yorkies"... (toby is 13 lbs) or better yet tell them toby and BROWNIE (lenoras yorkie) is going to come over and they can REALLY see what "oversized yorkies look like :p |
I love that about all of u guys, nobody is better than anyone else, we all just love our pups regardless of size! I just go past the comments and ask about the temperament or something. I also hear the "is she a teacup?" question from other people. I don't even bother explaining to people that there is no such thing. I just say she's a tiny bit smaller than average. Some of you are way nicer than I want to be when i hear these snooty comments! |

I always get comments about Sammi's size (She is 13lbs)...My reply is usually (on a NON PMS Day)...As long as she is healthy and eats a full bowl of pasta with us on Sundays I could care less if she was 25 lbs :) LOL! I love the "WOW, THATS A YORKIE?? I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE SOOO UHHH BIG BEFORE" Like Sammi is a circus Yorkie Elephant :) Oh well! XoXoXO Fran and Sammi |
I love 'em big or small! Lexy happens to be tiny, but my beloved Gracie was 6 1/2 lbs. (standard size) and if I could have her back I wouldn't care if she weighed 50 lbs.! People do view it as a status symbol though. Lots of people would tell me they had, or knew of people that had, Yorkies smaller than Gracie. Like I would value her less because she was a whopping 6 1/2 lbs.????? People are nuts. I prefer dogs. |

I also have a "teapot" yorkie (12 pounds) and people usually ask me "what kind of dog is that". When I tell them he a yorkie they think he is waaay to big to be a yorkie. He looks like a yorkie, smells like a yorkie, acts like a yorkie.........hmmmmmm must be a yorkie. lol |
It's funny how so MANY people have this idea about Yorkies. Where did it come from? I have people constantly ask me if my dogs are "miniature" or "teacups", too.I take every opportunity to educate and say, "Yorkies are a toy breed, the breed standard is 4-7 pounds, and just like people-some are smaller, some are bigger". I wonder if WE have any misnomers about other animals? Dogs, cats, ferrets, whatever....I'm going to watch what I say or ask.LOL I guess " oh, what a cute______(insert animal)!" Is the best response. |
Yes see my little girl weighs 3 pounds but I didn't buy her b/c I knew this. Little story here I was too dumb to know anything about the breed when I got her, I knew they were small dogs and I thought they were so cute! Well the "breeder" (I'm still not sure how I feel about this person, but didn't realize at the time) didn't inform me on anything about Yorkies or how Porscha would be very small all she wanted was her money and told me to keep her warm since it had just started snowing, locked in a cage and alone from her siblings she was the runt and I felt bad for her I wanted to save her!!! OK on to the topic I think all Yorkies are small no matter if they weigh 20 pounds or 1! I grew up with a terrier who weighed about 25 pounds maybe a little less and I always considered him a small dog, then we got the lab and I believed that even more! Now when all three are together I just laugh they are so cute, the lab being Rusty 70 pounds, Sam 25 and Porscha 3! So to anyone who thinks a 15 pounds Yorkie is big, let my lab run into you at a hundred miles an hour in my back yard and see if you think a Yorkie is big then heheheh!!!! |
