Yappy Ankle Biters!!!!
 

I am sooo annoyed :mad: The moment i tell people i have a furbaby who is a yorkshire terrier they start to LAUGH, which is bad enough, but they roll their eyes and say '' little ankle biters'' or they say '' oh their really yappy dogs'' or they even come out with '' ugh the ones who look like little rats''!! Its annoying and upsetting to have people say this about my baby. I find it very rude!

Its normally the male drivers at work who make these comments but even a few girls at work say they same thing! Its upsetting! I wouldnt make comments like this about their dogs or children!!! :thumbdown

So after calling my baby insulting names the continute to tell me ''oh please dont dress it up in little clothes thats animal crulty'' Or they say '' oh your not going to carry it around in your hand bag are you thats terrible'' They ASK me is she spoilt and of course i say yes because she is. They then ask me to list the things i've got her (why shouldnt i buy her nice things even if they are pink) and they mock me even more laughing at the fact she has a pink collar and pink carrier and pink hair bows and a big pink piglet toy. Shes a girl she need her pink like her mummy does!

I feel like i am a bad person for picking breed like a yorkie and wanting to put her in pink lovely dresses and pink collars and harness and having ALOT of pink accessories for her. I made sure i have EVERYTHING i need for her and i bought her the best puppy insurance. Does this make me like a paris hilton type of person?

I did not get Poppy because of these reasons i got her because i wanted her but these little things and accessories are the perks of having a girl yorkie which i love! SHE IS NOT MY FASHION AACCESSORY She is my baby and i want to spoil her.

She is not a yappy dog, and she is not a little ankle biter (just a toe biter:p) and she does NOT look like a rat!!!

Does anyone else get these nasty nasty horrible comments off people? They are really upsetting me! :(

Just let it roll right off. That's what I do.

Yes I have but you just have to ignore them. Yorkie owners are a breed of their own and march to a different drummer

Just feel sorry for them. They just have no idea what they are missing. Yorkies are super special furbabies and deserve the best.
If they were suitable enough to be Yorkie owners they wouldn't be saying such things, but it is obvious a Yorkie has never chosen one of them to adopt.

Blow off their comments. They obviously have never had the pleasure of knowing a really great yorkie.

My dh fought me for years about getting one because of the "yappy" fru-fru dog image he had in his mind. I persisted though. Now he's the first to tell everyone about how cool Rhett is. He calls him "little dude" all the time. He's about the last guy you would think would like a yorkie in clothes, but I showed him FL Tink's pics of the NFL jerseys and his first response was "order it!"

I know i should its just its people t my work and i feel like i cant even mention Poppy name without them jumping on the fact she is a yappy dog etc. I am excited about my Puppy Poppy so i want to talk about her and share the amazing things she does but they wont let me which is such a shame for me :( Some people are just really rude i guess xxxx

Not yet, I usually get "I hope you didn't pay a lot of money for that little dog" and I always say "I didn't pay enough :D" but so far the people I'm friends with are huge animal lovers and think the dog reflects the owner. As long as your puppy makes you happy, then just let them be jealous, because we all know they are :D Who wouldn't be, just look at these little yorkie faces :D

But we are always here for you to share Poppy's amazing stories with - after all, don't forget, we are her "family".

(People who are jealous can be rude, and they are probably jealous that you have Poppy and they don't:))

Haha yes i never thought about the fact a yorkie has never picked them. :D Guess i am one very lucky lady that Poppy picked me :D xxxx

Very lucky, and given Poppy's beginnings she obviously thought you were very special that she just had to adopt you, she knew you would be a special, caring, mommy for her:)

don't listen to the negative knuckle-heads....We also have 2 shelties and they BARK and YAP at everything worse than my Piper, just ignore these people, they seem to fall into the same category as the people who just don't understand how special all our furry creatures are. Look at it this way, our dogs are better off not being owned by any of these negative people....it's true these dogs pick us. They are our owners :D

I would say oh no I have trained them to go for the balls. I think that may stop the comments at least from the men.

They are just ignorant people who misses out on having something so precious and loving. They will never know that the love of a yorkie so unconditional that you cannot help but return the sentiment with everything you got. You should feel sorry for them for missing out on such great treasures. By commenting on something they don't understand, they don't deserve to have such a gift in their lives. We are the lucky ones!!!

Just say" "You are absolutely right, dear!" With a very sweet and knowing smile. It'll shut them up. I bet you my 5 against your 1 that if you would have the opportunity to take Poppy to work with you they would all fall all over themselves with "how cute" "how adorable" and so on... :D

I agree, just roll them off. Im a guy in the Marine Corps and i want one:), just imagine the comments:thumbdown.
