Not a "real" yorkie. /argggggh
 

The future MIL told me the other day that my baby was not a "real" yorkie.

Supposedly her co-worker has them and there is no way mine is "real".

My papers would like to have a word with her!

She's basing this off of the fact that I didn't pay thousands of dollars for him -- which is true. But what she DOESN'T know is that he has that long snout face, floppy ears, and instead of being black and tan he's black tan and silver.

He isn't "desirable" for breeding or showing so I got him for a great price.

Makes me want to slap her silly!

/hmph

Sign on to YT next time you see her & show her just how different one yorkie can look from another here in the pic or video section. Some people can be so rude.
But he could be part Monkey, climbing the cat tree the way he does, lol

i hear ya.
i've heard similar comments from a few people in public due
to the fact that my little boy is a chocolate yorkie.
you rarely see that color.
hence the comments.
"oh that's a yorkie" or
"is that a yorkie mix?"
"wow , he is big for a yorkie" .
geez , he only weighs 6 pounds..
i proudly answer their question.
he is beautiful and i love him no matter what anyone thinks.
your baby is gorgeous too.
you know it , so who cares what your mil thinks.
am i right ?

I think future mil is your only problem!! If it were anyone else - you'd probably tell them where to get off! :D

Your Littlie's colouring is very similar to our Harry's...and he's 16 lbs! He's a pedigree through and through, too - maybe she should pay a visit to the UK? Most of ours are bigger...and paler...and floppier!!! :D Sally + Harry x

Youre mother in law is that rude to you now just wait untill you are married. Seriously I deal with a rude Mother in law. Youre fiance probably didnt say anything to her about her rude comment also because that is typical of a son with a rude mom

I'm always amazed at how rude some people are to others...your baby is too cute, ignore the remarks.

Oh, don'cha just love it!!! You know:

"Stupid people don't know they're stupid."

They think they are smart.

I had a complete stranger argue that my known-to-be-purebred Yorkie was a Silky. Someone else "has a friend who breeds Silkies and they sent her the picture of my baby, who said they could tell from the cellphone camera photo that it was a Silky." Well, all righty then...that settles it...case closed...the former owners, and purchasers of my dog, clearly know nothing about him...! :p

In the case of a MIL...future or existing...what you do about it depends on so much.

Speaking of MIL comments...oh, and I've got lots of 'funny' [odd] comments in my storybook...my former MIL said I was "feeding my [human] baby too fast," my at-the-time-DH-and-children's-father echo'd his umbilical-attached-mom's sentiments and further embellished with a lie that he'd "talked to a lady doctor at Boston Childrens' and she said the same thing"...but OMG!...you should have seen the look OUR pediatrician gave me when I told HIM! TOO FUNNY! He said, "if he's got his mouth empty [which he did] and open [which he did], waiting for the next bite [which he was], you are feeding him TOO SLOW!" :eyetearss

If MIL doesn't believe he's a Yorkie, even though your papers say otherwise, maybe you could tell her you found out he's not...that he's a Great Dane...or a St. Bernard...or a Sheep Dog...because someone YOU know/work with/just met AGREED WITH HER and said so! :D

Or a Bearded Collie puppy - I've done that before....!!!! :D ;) :rolleyes: x

:thumbup::thumbup::good job::bravo::lol tears:eyetearss

wow well i hope you can just ignore thoes comments and go about your business. not very nice..

I think she has a vendetta against the poor little angel because he's MY dog and she doesn't seem to care for me.

She's never outwardly awful -- just says random things like this. She's very "dense" and doesn't understand that you can't just say what you want out loud all the time.

I was talking to my bf and he sees that she says these things, but she almost has the mind of a 14 year old girl at times -- and he just tells me to ignore it and that he is sorry.

ANYWHO -- back to the Yorkie talk -- I will definitely tell her he's just a miniature irish wolfhound the next time her "co-worker" says my dog was too cheap to be a REAL yorkie. Males are almost always less expensive -- and I paid almost $700 so that isn't TOO cheap, gosh! (not for someone working full time and going to college).

Yep my Husband tells me to just ignore it too. Im just saying women like that that dont get put in their place just usually get worse with it over time. We barely do anything with my mother in law because of it. I think it would be better if she just knew how we felt. I dont want to rain on your parade this is just a common in law problem

MIL's wow sometimes they will think of just about anything to be mean. Some don't realize their son is not a little boy but a grown man wanting a life, wife and family of his own.
Sometimes getting a registered dog or puppy will bring out the worst in people you thought were friends and sometimes especially MIL's get their back up. My thought is plain old jealousy. I remember years ago a woman that got a puppy from me got no end of grief from a few friends, putting her down and one actually asked her exactly who does she think she is buying a registered dog?
Don't let MIL pull you down to her level. You have a very nice little dog that the breeder recognized as a nice pet and sold him to you as such.
As an aside, my folks never knew to the day they died what I paid for my very first YOrkie who was a pet. I would never have heard the end of it if I told them so never would.

MIL just seem to know exactly how to get under your skin. I guess it is just a gift they have. LOL

:thumbup::thumbup:
My mom was sure hard on my sister in law. I felt kinda sorry for her.

Oh my gosh Lorraine! I know what you mean about catching flack for getting a registered dog.

People at work get so uppity about my dog not being a rescue. We went to 3 shelters here in town and none of them would let us adopt a dog because of our work schedule.

Our dog is left home alone for no longer than 2 hrs and 45 minutes at a time, but they weren't taking into effect our lunches --- blah blah complicated mess -- we couldn't adopt from a rescue. Wouldn't you know, though, 3 days after we brought Optimus home they called us back and had a dog "just for us". -.-

So I figured if I have to buy a dog, I'm getting the one I want. We currently live on the 3rd floor. I *HAD* to have a small dog to be able to carry it up 4 flights of stairs when the dog is feeling rebellious and doesn't want to walk. So adopting a pitbull was just not gonna happen.

Even registered puppies need love :(

It doesn't really matter what it's for, some people seem to have way too much flack and are way too willing to share! :p

Wow, then my male must really not be a real yorkie. I got him for $300 as a rehome. He couldn't possibly be a REAL yorkie for that cheap :p LOL

I would just ignore her... It sounds like she's not worth your time.

Rescuing isnt for everyone. No one should get flack for getting a dog from a breeder. Your going to have the dog 12-15 yrs it should be the dog you want that is good for your circumstances

I think you, yourself, need to set your MIL straight on being rude to you about anything. You have got to stand up for yourself, especially if the fiance wont. If you let her continue to be rude to you, it will just get worse. It is the same as bullying. You can tell her in a calm nice way that you do not like her rude comments and expect it to stop. This is how I would handle it.

Yep to this...and why does she even care? I have found the easiest thing to do is say, "your probably right" to everything, its just easier, I consider the source and quite frankly don't care what she thinks!

Well, maybe your fiance is not her real son because he is too nice to be her's. ;)

:thumbup::thumbup: Good point! :D Then there's also that pesky price issue that determines 'real' full-bloodedness...:p

People like this drive me NUTS !!!

Does it matter a hoot how much you paid for your loved one, I don't think so at all.

Does it matter a hoot what your little baby looks like, I doubt it.

As far as I am concerned you love the little thing and THAT is all that is required.

Let people think what the hell they like the only thing that matters is what YOU think and you love that baby so tell her to go to hell and pay the entrance fee at the door. grrrrrrrrrrr :(

I'll save the M-I-L comments. Bailey may or may not be a full blooded Yorkie. I have no idea and frankly I don't care. When he jumps up in my lap and gives me a big ole kiss, I know I'm loved and so is he.

Is there anything else?

Ah! That's too bad she was mean. I'll never understand it and don't want to, either.:)

Girl, don't even worry about her. She already sounds like a handful. He's your baby and he is beautiful. Don't let her obvious ignorance get you down. You have a wonderful baby that loves you. I'm sure the fuss you make over him drives her crazy. LOL

My vet actually listed my little one as a Yorkie-Pom mix on her chart AFTER I showed him her papers first visit, with the list of med history from her parents. Some people are just silly. Ignore the MIL, I always hear stories of how they are, I guess I got lucky. My MIL loves me to death and has never once been rude to me. >.>

You got your dog to love and thats what counts!
 

:)Love is real. Don't slap her. Ignore her......! She isn't worth it.

Yorkie-Poo HairCut
 

I have a Yorkie-Poo. She is a Teacup. She will be getting her first haircut soon. She is mostly white with some beige on her ears. What kind of haircut should she get?
