Alittle tired of hearing it - YorkieTalk.com Forums

maddieadoptedme · 01-20-2010, 09:56 AM

Like my baby isnt a pure breed or something. All i hear from people is............shes sure BIG for a Yorkie--i thought they were suppose to be smaller. First off- i live in a fairly small area and i have only seen 1-2 other yorkies here, so i dont know what there comparing her to? Maddie's a sleek,9 pounder--yes compared to a 3-4-5 pounder she is big. But to me she is average size, and PERFECT !!!! I dont know why i let it bother me, but i just needed to vent. Its like she is looked down on

First I have to say she is completely adorable!! I hear the same thing about Duke and he's 7lbs. As long as you love them, and they are happy what else matters!!

Is that Maddie in your avatar?!? She's gorgeous!!! Ignore those superficial people! I have two babies and my girl is tiny (2.5 lbs) and the boy is around 5 lbs and when I take them out, people only play/notice the girl!! They only say she's cute and totally ignore him. It pisses me off!!!! I mean when did size define cuteness?!!?!!? So don't let it get to you! I think your maddie has a beautiful coat and I'm positive her personality is even more beautiful than her appearance!

maddieadoptedme · 01-20-2010, 10:24 AM

yes thats her--Thankyou! she is the sweetest little girl!

megooego · 01-20-2010, 10:25 AM

My boy Jimi is 10 lbs.

Whenever I go out people always ask me what kind of dog he is.. when I tell them yorkie it is like they don't believe me. "Umm.. are you sure? He is probably a silky."

Don't let it get to you! Your baby is gorgeous.

HAHA I'm in the same boat! my boy is bigger (comparing to the girl we have) and I'm bigger. He is more attached to me too! My girl is TINY just like my boyfriend and she's more attached to him!! I find it funny since we both own them.

spiritwings1202 · 01-20-2010, 10:30 AM

Maddie is beautiful and who cares if she weighs 9 lbs the main fact is that you love her and she is healthy. I think Yorkie's come in all sizes. some long and trim some short and round and some with long legs and some short legs. Kinda like us. People tend to get stuck on the size of a Yorkie being small I think 9 lbs is still a small dog. So blahhhhh to people who say negative things about your 9 lbs dog.
It would be worse if you underfed her to keep her small. I have heard of this and it sickens me.
Don't get me wrong there are small Yorkies who were supposed to be small and they are adorable. There are also large yorkies who are meant to be larger and they are adorable as well. I guess it is all genetics.

kjc · 01-20-2010, 10:31 AM

Mine is 11 pounds...she doesn't even get big yorkie! It's more often: What is she??? But I wouldn't trade her for the world! She makes me laugh with her antics and silliness.
She makes my 7 pounders look tiny! So I have the best of both worlds!

ChantalB · 01-20-2010, 10:32 AM

I think a lot of people don't realized how rude they can be when commenting on someone else dog.

Once, I was at the pet store with Lucy and those 2 ladies pass by and comment about Lucy: "oh she's mix for sure she got a long tail". I didn't say anything but inside my head I was laughing at them...

When you don't know what you are taking about, it is sometimes best to keep your opinion for yourself...

Your dog is too cute for word... so don't worry about those idiot. Have a great day.

Maddie is beautiful and 9 lbs isn't very big!

YorkieMom6 · 01-20-2010, 10:42 AM
