Kudos to a guy that is tough enough to face his peers and stick to their Yorkies!!! :thumbup: (Which, BTW, are Terriers just like PitBulls ;))

My dh had a Yorkie when we met. He raised her all alone from a puppy and he is NOT a softy but one of the most brilliant scientists in the world and oh so macho macho...

Semper Fi

Thank you for your service:):)

I always get " they are yappy, right?" Um, No.
But I do think they look like rats. Especially after a bath. :eek:
I have to say that most people say "awww look at that dog, it's so cute".

:yeahthat::thumbs up

i think yorkie looks more like cat than rats lol
and i always thought pom pom and chihuahua are more yappy lol

my little one was ugly (well i thought he was ugly), but then he grew up, turned out to be a beautiful hairy boy, lol

it's your dog, your baby, who cares what other ppl think

Ok Beamer is already mad at me for sharing this pic in the GE forum.
But here he is after his bath and before he gets dried:D

Now you are the kind of guy I would love to have my kids meet. A man with a heart and soul, brainy and brave!

Thanks for your service also! :)

I know what you mean.
Alot of people (usually men) say that they are yappy dogs or that they look like rats.
And some people I know will laugh at me when I dress Poppy up or have her in her carrier.
I dont care, my baby is happy and so am I so everyone who wants to make snide comments can go play with traffic. :D

I've gotten some comments, as others have said, ignore the negative ones. I had a co-worker tell me a while ago that I had a "sissy" dog. Yes, I was really upset, but after considering the source (and reading the replies from yt) I decided it was not worth the energy.
Just last night at work a co-worker (different one) asked me if I had a stroller for Prince. She said it as if it were a joke. I said not yet, but am seriously thinking about it. I told that yorkies are so little, they tire easily, and since Prince has CT, he's not able to walk long distances. She said that she never thought that...she thought people who would put a dog in a stroller were "a little over the top."

We have this macho guy at work that used to make jokes about small dogs. However, his wife and daughter insisted on buying a chi and he was outvoted. He complained and complained at the beginning and said things like he will go around with a sign that says the dog is not his. However, he admits now that he is putty against the dog. He loves it to pieces and she has him wrapped around her little paw. He buys her cute dresses and jewelry and take her everywhere to show her off. All this from a big, bald, macho guy! I agree with Mitzis Mom above that you just need to show them your precious baby and they will all fall in love.

After all, yorkies are far cuter than chis....okay okay...I may be just a little bit biased :D

so cute

check out mine :p

I no longer stop and talk to people on the side walk cause I'm fed up with "oh he's suck a cute teacup!" that's another one that annoys me. You're right, I've heard the rat joke,

and everyone ASSUMES that because Harley has long hair that he's a girl.... I don't dress him and he doesn't wear bows... why do you assume he's a she!

I've given up... I just ignore them all, and I've threatened my friends if they ever call him a "Rat" I'll sick my "ankle bitter on them" lol

You're thinking of this all wrong. You should pity people like this, after all they don't know the love of a yorkie. They don't know what it feels like to have a friend that loves you so unconditionally and brings such joy to your life on a daily basis. Maybe someday if they are very lucky they will get that chance, but the chances are good that they will go their whole lives not knowing that joy. They deserve your pity, after all you know what they are missing, they don't. Just enjoy the gift you have been given, smile to yourself when they make these comments, you know the truth and so do we. Come and share all your stories with us, we want to hear them, and just forget those who don't get it. And by the way all girls should own pink.

:D:D:D Looks just like mine when wet :D:D:D

Thanks every one.

I'm typing with one hand because Poppy is asleep on my chest with my arm around her, we are wrapped up in a blanket, i keep kissin her head shes soooo cute :)

Thank you all for you responses. your ALL right i am very lucky to have her and that she picked me. I like to spoil her and have pink stuff for her because why not. Your all right they are probs jealous that no yorkie has picked them :D when shes able to after all her shots i will be taking her to show them all at work and i bet they'll love her to peices but come'on who wouldnt love her hehe.

It is rude of them to call her names like rat etc but i guess some people dont have much thought on other peoples feelings. i understand some of u may think your yorkies look like rats but they were not saying it like you where, they where trying to take the micky out of her to be mean. guess i have the last laugh tho because i love her to bits an we are both happy.

Gotta admit the pics of the wet yorkies did make me giggle cant wait to see Poppy look like that haha.... very cute.

and to the macho males who posted.... thank you, its wonderful to hear that there are macho men out there who love yorkies, i think its fantastic. go you :D :D
