AAHHHHH!!! Run....it's the crazy dog lady. lmao I can picture it too.

I guess he's seen and heard it all though and she had not yet been spayed.

That's exactly how I feel.....AS IF!!!
I was trying to be so polite and telling her "no, Ahi is going to be too small to breed" but it's like she didn't hear me. And she has a chihuahua mix.

I feel just like you, all 4 of mine are my little girls, and would never be allowed to do the "wild thing", let alone become a mommy. Yikes.

She is a doll.... hey even I want one like her.... so how about cloning her (JK).

Well.....how about test tube puppy? Wasn't the first human test tube baby from Hawaii?

Can I buy 2 of her pups on full registration for $50.00???

I will never forget being at my SIL's house when her friend was there with a really unattractive little chihuahua (a breed that I normally adore). Her dog has a health issue that causes his ummm winkie to be exposed permanently as well as a number of other health issues. Her friend bugged me over and over to let her dog have a "little fun" with Chloe. Not only am I NEVER breeding her but certainly not with a dog that has health issues. I finally left. It amazes me that so many people fail to consider the health and well being of a female and only think about "hey free puppy" So yeah I agree it is really annoying.

ooohh... i know that feeling... When i first got JoeJoe my friends spent a good portion of our lunch date trying to convince me not to neuter him since they wanted one of his babies. :/ They kept saying "Just one time, then get him fixed whenever you want." My poor baby doesn't need any other women in his life plus most people say it's so much healthier for them to get fixed earlier. As soon as he hits 6 months and the right weight I'll make sure that he'll be all mine

Ours are litter mates too and we got that question a lot at first. Telling them they were brother and sister usually shut them up.

It's not just the girls though. When Ivan was a puppy, we had lots of people ask us when we were going to stud Ivan and to call them when there were puppies.

[chachi]

they assume that because that is the only reason they would get a female. When people assume they are usually looking at it from their standpoint

[Ahis_Mama]

LOL wouldn't it be funny if we seen them with their little human DD when someone asked that and we could just tell them..."when are you going to breed your DD?" lmao

[lizzieg]

People always look at me like I'm an idiot after I tell them that Khloe won't ever be bred and she is spayed. She wasn't bought to be bred (although I considered it, I wasn't willing to undergo the risks involved and plus, I'm truthfully not experienced enough to put her through that). She was bought as a pet, breeding the right way is expensive, and I too agree that little girls don't romance. And she will always be our little girl. I always tease with my hubby and tell him that it was a good decision because she is too much of a little baby to be a mama.

Not because I had intentions of becoming a breeder. Secondly I would only consider breeding her IF all situations was in right order. (If I really wanted to, health, size..etc.) I can understand somewhat if because they think she is cute. But I get so when people ask me for a pup that isn't even thought of in my head.

So on that note I am getting her fixed and NOT breeding her because she will be little and I don't want to risk her like that. Plus she's my little girl and will always be my little girl...and little girls do not have sex. ROFLMAO

Thanks for listening!

My Gizmo is almost 5 yrs old now and I still get people that say I have ruined him, or that I have turned him into a gay dog, and the one I hear most of all to this very day is this one...(brace yourself)..''Do You Know How much Money You Could Have Made Off Of That Dog.......Girl You Could Have Gotten $1000.00 A Puppy Easy''''

My Response is usually....oh well, I guess I just missed out...lol

This is the perfect place to vent. People just don't know any better. They probably would be shocked to know how much time, thought, love, money and education we have gladly devoted to our Yorkies. I had a real attitude adjustment myself when I attend a horse show. A friends daughter was competing in. There I was the ignorant one. I didn't understand how they judged, or even the basic difference between breeds. I am sure I ask some pretty dumb questions. I realized that day that most people just don't know very much about Yorkies. So they say or ask something that seems so silly to me. But now, I smile benignly and gently educate them if I can.

I just I have to get used to it. I kind of get offended. Maybe because I really don't look at her as a dog or a pet but a member of my family. I will try and be more positive and educate them instead of saying something not so nice. LOL
