| ![]() Soft muzzle, leash your dog to yourself don't let your dog bite people, or never let people leave...seems maybe your dog is biting when people are turning their backs instead? That's a serious problem you could get sued, turned in and your dog could be PTS over it...surprised no trainers finally suggested don't allow your dog to get to anyone at all then...

| ![]() PUPPY! preceded by a stranger little child running up to us reaching out for my dogs, I say they don't like kids just because I already know by the approach the children obviously aren't trained I know I sound so rude but really my children know how to act, they did far before we had a dog of our own so there is no excuse other than people fail at be attentive...

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | ![]() ![]() Razz was in swimming on a hot and busy summer day at Kelso (a closeby conservation park), I was back a bit watching him go out to retreive the toy and as he was swimming back; one lady said to the other lady, "what does he have on his hair?", the lady confidently replies; oh Those are mini flotation devices.! I about cracked up, they were his wraps of course. I didn't bother to correct "that experts response". Yes I've had the "rat comment" particularly when he is swimming; he is almost always referred to as a she IDK perhaps because of the wraps, or when he is showing all that long gorgeous hair and a sparkly topknot bow. I've never had anyone try to pick him up, I have had kids run straight up to him, and I merely step in front of him and put out my hand to stop the kids. Of course for me, some of the reasons might be that I'm often out in the company of my big boy Magic. It may have something to do with either the no comments or the derogatory small dog comments; as it is obvious I own both. What I'd really love to do is get a mini harness and sulkie made for Razzle and he can pull that out on our walks lmao

| ![]() "Oh is that one of those 'teacup' Yorkies?" (after researching before choosing a Yorkie, who turns out to be 4.5 pounds but from a world-class breeder, it feels like a slur) |

Agree! ![]() ![]() ![]() A friend of mine has a Yorkie and asked me if Max was a teacup. I tried not to react, but my usual snippy reaction is to just say, "No. Yorkies are a toy breed and teacup is a term byb use to sell them". I can understand the general population using this term (sort of) but not a person who owns a Yorkie for years!

| ![]() "what kind of rat is that?" This was a few months ago at Lowe's. Some random guy tried to be cute and make conversation using my dog as a centerpiece. Didn't go over well. I have sapphire blue eyes that produce a stare of death. I nearly punched him. He just slowly walked away.

![]() Pet peeve..."Is that a teacup?" But truthfully, before I joined yorkietalk over 2 years ago, I wouldn't have known any better either. Yorkietalk has given me an education on yorkies...that and the library (really ![]() I am like one of the other posters who said they don't know if it is worth it to go into it. I usually just say, "No, he is a standard yorkie." I just leave it at that. (In my head, I would just love to say..."No, he is a miniature pit bull...watch out!! ![]() I had to laugh at the ankle biting post...Copper does like to grab my pant leg as I'm going upstairs. He holds it all the way up. I just laugh and thank him for helping me up the stairs! ![]()

| ![]() I think most of our little babies are treated better than most children. My girls see they get routine medical care, they have their little outfits and bows, I dress them up for halloween every year. They get bday and christmas gifts. I don't have any children of my own only my step kids. I get remarks all the time. My favorite comback about their size is they don't know their small so watch out they think their dobermans. I have the oldest trained to growl when she hears that. She sounds like an attack dog. The comments stop at that point. When people pick on their out fits my comback is at least they have good fashion sense. I don't let it get to me anymore My baby Abbie is 4 mints and weighs in a whole 2 lbs 9 oz. I get asked all the time if I am sure she is not a cat. I also love the fact that my girls have pink vest and leashes and little dress on an people ask me if they are boys are girls. I give have this very confussed look I give them and say I put my boys in pink to be funny and people beleive me I don't treat my girls like they are dogs. They are my kids. I can't stand when I hear about abuse cases and puppy meals. I think is so cruel and evil to keep any dog tied outside with limited interaction or love. That is just so wrong. There is a family down the street that does this with their dogs it was almost 90 degrees here today and they were tide up in the heat I |

| ![]() Mollie is hilarious with it. She will also make her growl of terror at the word cute and little when people want to pet her because she is so tiny and harmless. She would never hurt anyone she doesn't like being called little |

| ![]() We took Mina to a motorcycle event and a guy that I dont particularly care for said that he was moving to another chair to sit,because he couldnt stand to hear me talking to a dog. All I could think was "is that all it took to get you to move away from me?". Other than that noone was rude about her fluffy dresses or stroller. I am the patch lady for this small gathering so I see everyone. |

I think it is how they say it that gets me. Or making any negative remarks. There are breeds of dogs that are not my first choice but I would not put anyone down for having that breed.. I saw someone with the cutest dog oh around 15 pounds.. I asked what breed? They said yorkie .. I felt so bad.. I really did not mean any harm. I just said oh.. If I had looked I would have "seen" the yorkie I am just not good at reconizing breeds..he is so cute I bet you just loved him!! I hope that took the "sting" out of asking in the first place. Now I don't ask.. just say "what a cute dog"
