Oh, how cute... is she a teacup? No. She's a puppy. :rolleyes: I am getting tired of every single person asking me this and then me trying to go into the whole speech of "teacup" being a misnomer and a marketing ploy and tiny ones are more likely to have health problems, blah, blah, blah. I'm just venting. Anyone else have everyone asking you that? I'm annoyed! The main reason is that I live in a small town and there are a few people who have gotten snowed by a breeder around here who is charging $2500+ for teeny tiny teacup yorkies. :confused: So I guess they think those little things are better than my Stormy. :( |
Alot of people ask me if Lulu is a "miniature". :rolleyes: I just simply say no she's just a yorkie. Fortunately, many people just think Lulu is younger than she is so they don't realize how small she really is....this keeps a lot of the "teacup or miniature" comments at bay. |
I know how you feel! I get that question ALL the time. It really makes me laugh when I have my 6lb yorkie Zoe out and they ask. But I do see ALOT of poorly bred oversized yorkies so I can kindof understand why people have that idea. I try to nicely educate them. Some are open, others you can practically see their eyes glaze over. :rolleyes: Of course, the other question I get that really makes me uncomfortable is when they ask how much I paid....:rolleyes: |
pick her up, look her over well, then answer "I think she's a dog, I'm not seeing a handle anywhere" and shrug your shoulders :) |

1 Attachment(s) Yep, I get the question all the time too. Yep, I have to go thru the speech about the teacup thing. Yesterday, I even got a question on what type of dogs I had as I was walking Tia and Ally!!!! I've just given up and just give short brief answers anymore. |
My Shorkie Alice, shocked us all. She went from a 3 pound 8 week old pup to a 7 month old that comes in about 14 pounds. She's huge! And a doll. Callie |
LOL I get asked all the time if Rosie is a tea cup...I've gotten tired after only a few months of educating the ignorant but I still go through the speech about the Tea Cup term. |
I collect teacups - but they are all on a shelf in the dining room, and none of them bark:D:D |
oh man you just don't even know how hard it is for me to take Ella out. I've given up on explaining what she is and her size. Ella is a biewer but not only that she's chocolate. So I get the "is she mixed?" "maltese" "westie" "yorkie-poo" OH MY!!!! I love bringing her to the sorority house. No questions just awhs and ohhs. |

I love that! LOL |
I love these responses. Will definitely use them. Thanks for making me laugh everyone. |
lol, i just say yeah, cuz i don't even feel like explaining . . . its a quick way for them to shut up. |
lol. this is funny because im in another thread talking about people asking "how much...?" i dont have a yorkie yet & im still learning more about this breed everyday!but coming from the otherside...i was the person that would ask how much....or is that a tea cup. that doesnt mean that i was being "ignorant". theres not alot of good wholesome reputable breeders out here....when you look up yorkie puppies on google...all you see is "teacup this & micro that!" from the 1st page to the last! so thats all i knew at the time....because that was all i was surrounded by. but now that ive found yorkie talk...ive learned SOOOOO much more! (thats y i love this site!:D) so dont think of them as being ignorant or stupid.....they just dont know any better. they dont know all the FACTS yet.;) p.s. i actually LOVE all the funny responses!!!:thumbup: |

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! |

Never got that question 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:D 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. |
