He reminds me of member "Brister" dog Jackson. Similar build and very energetic.

Did you see this thread recently about agility?

It would be a nice way to capitalize on his size and energy, and a lot of fun for both of you.

I am so tired of people looking at me like I have two heads when they ask me what breed he is and I say yorkie. I am not going to breed him or anything and yes he is not the epitome of what a text book yorkie looks like but he definitely does look and act like a yorkie (well maybe more Australian Silky?).
Am I the crazy one???
Doesn't matter to me, everyone here has said he looks like a yorkie to them but I really wish people would just stop asking me or believe me when I tell them his breed...lol
I couldn't care less if he was a 'true' yorkie, does not change how I feel about him one little bit...yes he is a bit more yorkie than I had envisioned but there is just more of him to love <3

I LOVE your attitude!!! I have a 14lb boy... no, he's not textbook perfect Yorkie, but man is he my heart and soul!

I don't get why someone would ask you what he is and then tell you he's not. Thats so weird to me! I never run into people like that, thankfully!

LilAnnCamp · 06-04-2013, 11:45 AM

This seems to be a trend with all yorkies if you ask me.... maybe just tell them something off the wall...

Lovetodream88 · 06-04-2013, 11:45 AM

People can be mean for sure. Callie is 16 pounds and when asked what she is I automatically say a bigger yorkie luckily I haven't really gotten nasty comments but I have heard others who have. Its like people have forgotten there manners or have not been raised right.

Montysmom2 · 06-04-2013, 11:45 AM

I love this site!! I actually thought it would be more kennel club type people looking down their noses at those yorkies that did not meet the text book definition and I am so pleasantly surprised to find an amazing group of people that accept every size, shape and color of yorkie that exists!!
GREAT JOB on this community!!!

We are all glad to have you

& Monty too!

Montysmom2 · 06-04-2013, 11:49 AM

Please no offense meant to anyone here who is a kennel club member!! I would never insult anyone who wishes to stick to the standard of the breed and promote good breeders etc. Sometimes though we don't always get the 'perfect' specimen and we have to accept them and love them all the same

Thank you for paying YorkieTalk the ultimate compliment. Acceptance and adoration of all Yorkies and even those that are only part Yorkie.

While we may differ on some issues, one thing we do have in common here is that we LOVE LOVE LOVE our doggies. At the core, that is the most important thing to remember.

AllDogBoots · 06-04-2013, 02:28 PM

I can definitely relate! Max just turned 3 and it seems that he never stops growing! He's probably about 16 pounds now. When people ask what he is I say he's a Yorkzilla.

You know this is an old story. Most of us have been insulted, disbelieved, snickered at or some one has been rude to us. The world has good and ucky people. Your dog is a darling.
I think a good way is to get them, before they get you. Nosey Person:" What kind of dog is that ?" your answer : A Teapot Yorkie. NP: "What I never heard of that!" You smiling, Check them out on www.yorkietalk .com, I am so blessed to have one, he's very special, each one is unique. NP:" Sure is cute, I will look them up." You

Monte is adorable. I agree. Say he is a rottie or Doberman or pit... but do it with a straight face...

yudiluminosity · 06-06-2013, 05:35 PM

My Sushi is quite big next to his lil yorkie friends so it´s nice to hear of other bigger yorkies! He´s not 15 pounds, but he´s tall and also has his long tail. I love that he´s bigger though because I´m tall and from up where I am he looks so tiny!
