Oh, how cute... is she a teacup?

[Ringo1]

I remember how uninformed I was so I try to explain that there really is no such thing as a 'teacup'. You'd be surprised how many people want to argue that with me and insist that there are as they know someone who breeds them . . blah blah blah.

I then go into well, they are just really small yorkies ya da ya da ya da.

I have to find an easier way!

Well my Razz man never got the teacup business. But by gosh by the end of a day when we've walked a lot, i've gotten sick of oh she is soooo cute.. Actually I say she is a he. ONe day I was really tired, heard the old she business so much I just actually said, well she is a Yorkie, wrapped up, cause she is showing

The I get the oh wow - how much does SHE cost. I say do you mean right in this moment.. or over her lifetime? They kind of look a bit stunned, that is when I say the initial cost of any dog is the least of what you will pay over their lifetime. Getting a dog is going into a commitment of 10=15=20 years of time. And most eyes by now have glazed over, and they say, oh yeah, well I guess that is true.

They (most) forget about their initial question. The few who are truly interested in this breed, stop and pause and say, you know I've always loved Yorkies, and really want one, can you direct me to a good breeder. And of course I pull out this site, along with others to help direct them in their search.
