LoL I love to read fur butt too

But...I've a wondering mind & it (all on it's own out of my control) gets a funny lil furry image in it ...can you imagine if they were all furry?

The term butt baths would be used a lot more on here!

His ancestry is one that consists of the black and gold look. People love to put down dogs for some reason. I've been told there are no such dogs as teacup Yorkies and I laugh when I hear that. I consider Bam a toy Yorkie because he is too big to be a teacup and too small to be a standard size. At 5.5 pounds, he is in the middle.

Hi welcome to Yorkie Talk. Tons of great info here and I myself am new to the world of yorkies and am still learning everyday

What exactly does "opted to never have his ears pointed" mean? My Bubba's ears have always been upright, and the breeder warned me that while teething they may flop? Is there something I should consider doing to either keep them up or let them flop?

I know exactly what you mean about teddy bear vs teacup, I have an english golden yellow lab and even though akc didn't allow me to change the breed, I know that is what he is because he is darker than a yellow but no way near being a chocolate. Plus, he doesn't have a boxy head, like the standard yellow lab, and doesn't look fat like they do either. Cute baby by the way.

Haha! That description crack me up.

Gizmo has an arrow butt. He has an arrow shape that's dead on and in the tan color that seems to be pointing right at his nub.

What a cutie! He certainly looks like a little teddy bear, love the pic

this thread has been a hoot to read, like beating a dead horse I will also state there is only one yorkie breed and that is a Yorkshire Terrier. Words you often hear when someone is selling or describing their yorkie such as teacup, toy, teddybear, apple headed etc, those are adjectives i.e. just physical descriptions. I have found that stating it simply like that to someone who is trying to ram it down my throat that a teacup yorkie is a breed of it own, helps them get it a little easier.

Also to the poster that said that there have been times people have challenged them to if their dog was real yorkie or not. I am embarrassed to say I did that once. I had just gotten my first yorkie and had done a lot of research on what the standards were and not only did I want a good looking dog I wanted once that would be small enough to take on an airplane. My pup was about 5 or 6 months and I was proudly walking him around an art fair. Someone approached me that had a shaggy silvery yellowish long haired dog that was about 15 lbs. After making a fuss over my dog I then asked her what kind of dog she had, and the lady said a yorkie, just like yours, she went on to say hers looked just like mine when it was a puppy. Well I was horrified, I didn't want some large yellow stringy haired dog. I almost physically jumped back, saying NO, NO, it couldn't be the same. We shortly parted ways and my girlfriend said, well I guess you didn't like the look of their dog, after thinking about it I felt so ashamed for my guttural reaction, but being new to the yorkie world I expected that they would all grow up to look like the ones in the picture books I had gotten from the library, (before the internet) which in hindsight were probably show dogs. Mine grew up not to be show quality but much closer to the dogs in the pictures than the one in the park. That was more than 25 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday
