Yorkies? Yuck! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Aw, it's too bad some of you have family that dislike your dogs. My family's a really dog friendly bunch, regardless of size; even my dad and grandpa just love their yorkies.

I've had one person tell me something rude about my yorkie, she said it was stupid to dress my dog. I simply told her that maybe we should shrink her down to 7lbs, take all her clothes off, then let her run around in the winter air for a while, see if she wasn't cold. That shut her up. She was lucky I wasn't a beautician doing her hair or I would have cut a big lock off right in the center, and not told her.

When I told the two guys at work that I was getting a yorkie, they made fun of me and said it's not a real dog but a designer dog. The one guy also said he was going to punt it...yeah I work with some real winners...

alaskayorkie · 01-08-2012, 09:51 PM

I agree with the rest. It's rude, it's ignorant. It's their problem, not yours. I used to be one of them, too. I didn't see the point of little dogs. Most of the ones I met were yappy, anti-social and couldn't DO anything.

It wasn't until one was thrust upon me by my wife that I saw that they are just like any other dog, just as smart, just as athletic, and just as lovable.

No matter how much someone tells you they know about dogs, unless they've actually owned and raised a Yorkie, or other little dog, their education is lacking. Ignore them. Or better yet, prove them wrong. My Yorkies are smarter and better mannered than just about all of my big-dog friends' dogs. At the very least, an equal.

I agree if any body makes a remark like that there just being rude... Plus bet they haven't spend any time with a well trained yorkie You can't help but love lol!!!,I'm afraid of them myself. I just tell people that makes remarks to me. To each there own.

Sweeti · 01-08-2012, 10:12 PM

Love it!

I think you handled it much better than I would have. I am one of those love-me- love- my -dog type of people. I would have lost a client but I would have pulled out lots of words that would have curled her hair but good.

Common sense and common decency are either dead or on life support these days. I am glad I am raising a yorkie, and not kids, the way society is declining I fear for our species.

YorkieMiki · 01-08-2012, 10:51 PM

All I can say about people like that woman is... "YUCK"

I'm a single straight guy with a Yorkie (mix) and proud of it!

Mee-sha · 01-08-2012, 11:00 PM

everyone always tells me yorkies aren't a "real dog", I had a 52 pound sheltie, who wouldnt eat bones..only licked them, never broke a toy,scared of squeeky toys, only pooped in the woods,wouldn't pee on walks if you looked at him while doing it!lol never dug holes,never chewed belongings or futniture.. was very sensitive,
i now have a 2lb, 13 week old yorkie who eats bones, rips her toys,squeaks all her toys to the point of driving me nuts, poops n pees without privacy,digs holes, chews everything...and acts more like a dog then any big dog i've ever met, lol, i loved my shelite for his sweet undoglike personality, but meesha is more like a dog-like then he was, size dosen't matter!!, every dog has a different personality so i wish people would stop judging by breed and size...

That's so funny. Sheltie's can be such sweethearts. I have to agree about the Yorkie personality. Gracie hates me trying to make her look beautiful. I spend all this time giving her a bath and blowing her dry, then trimming her nails and around her eyes. I get her top knot all in place and she gets down and rolls on the floor, the couch, the cat bed and anything else she can get on and has her fur flying in 6 different directions within 30 seconds! They may be little and cute but they have very strong personalities and are as smart as can be. As someone else said people who hate little dogs have usually never gotten to know one. At least not one who is properly trained.

I was walking my mom's Chihuahua last year and I had someone tell me that they weren't real dogs. It was some guy over 6 foot and the woman he was with (wife? GF?) couldn't have been more than 5'1". I asked him, "What makes a dog a real dog?"

His response was something along the lines of big ones that was at least the size of a German Shepard. So my response was "Well, is she (nodding to the woman) not a real woman because she's shorter than average?" She smacked him, agreed with me, and he turned red. Jerk.

I'm only 5'3" so I'm still shorter than average too, lol.
