Ah, maaan. Tila's big I went into the city today for a day out. I took Tila with me, she got lots of attention. Everyone loved her, she loved everyone. There was one young woman who looked at her and said she's big for a yorkie eh. I looked her straight in the eye and said she's not big. Maybe I scared her, I didn't think I sounded mean. But maybe I did. lol. She then said, oh it must be her hair that makes her look big. Um, okay. lol. |
Everyone ALWAYS has to comment how "oh your yorkie is cute. It looks like so and so but waaaaaay bigger". :rolleyes: OMG don't people know yorkies are standard size if they are 7 lbs and under??? Uni is 5 lbs and she gets that comment ALL THE TIME! "Oh she's big for a yorkie! oh is she a mix?" Most people are just uneducated. Either try to educate them or ignore them. |

yea, people are really mis-informed. for a while i tried to educate people about the whole "there is no such thing as a tea-cup yorkie" but i had given up since then, people are too sure that there IS such a thing as a teacup yorkie, telling them otherwise is really a waste of time. (when i tell them there is no such thing as a tea cup yorkie, they look at me like i am uneducated.) |
What is it about Yorkies that compels people to lose all sense of decorum and blurt out their uninformed assessments? It's as if the world is a show ring and everyone is a judge. |

My Thomas is 13 pounds..so I always get the question 'he is so big ..is he full blooded'? I just always say..'He's a big boy..he takes after Me'! ;) |
I think some people really don't know a lot of information on yorkies, they all think they are supposed to be these small "tea cup" dogs you see celebrities have. I had one lady tell me, "I don't like the black yorkies" I think she meat she doesn't like them when they are babies, and some people don't even realize that yorkies change colors, ugh. |
oh my god, i was out walking sara 3 pounds and Gatsby 6 pounds and i had a woman come up to me and say "oh look you got a puppy, i see you out all the time with your dogs.they are so cute" i looked up at her and said "actually she is 3 years old" the woman cocked her head and looked real hard and said "no im sure she is a pup look at your other dog thear is no dog that small it is not possible, you should ask your vet" she walked away shakeing her head and all i could do is laugh i di not even know what to say |
Yeah, I just don't understand how people can think yorkies are big. I guess I kinda sounded mean, but it's just I don't understand how small people expect them to be. I just laughed when I got into the car. I love my baby, she's perfect. :) |
People are insane sometimes, I have had someone look at Maddie before and tell me they want one like her but smaller:eek: She is 2.5lbs on a good day. I told them "good luck with that" I didn't want a dog this tiny when I bought her I though she would get bigger. I honestly hardly take her out anymore because it gets annoying hearing all the ignorant things people have to say about dogs and size. I think some people should forget about dogs and get a hamster instead. |

Sunshine is big and I love it ,he is 9+ lbs. It gives me a chance to educate people on the breed standard . Funny his parents are quite a bit smaller than him . Dad 3.5 and mow just under 7 . I like his durable size . just makes packing him a bit more chalenging . Steve |
Wow, some people can be rude and insensitive. I am glad I have never encounter those types of people. I always get nice comments when people meet Josh. People's negative comments about my dog would not bother me, because my dog is just not for them. :) |
