| Interesting question, what do you all think? While eating dinner, my sister and I were talking about dogs as we are both avid dog lovers. I called them furbabies and she made an interesting observation, she pointed out that since Yorkies have hair instead of fur so shouldn't they be called hairbabies? I told her I would see what the lovely people of YorkieTalk think on the matter. So will it be furbaby or hairbaby? Tell me what you think!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Haha...I'm so used to saying furbabies, I don't think I could change. But that was a great question. I'll be interested to see others replies.

| Furbaby, I think, applies to all our furry friends that we baby like children. A hamster, ferret or cat could be a "furbaby" to a devoted owner. So, the nickname has to stick. Hairbaby just doesn't sound as cute to me. |

| I don't really use the term 'furbabies'. I prefer using babies, pups, and munchkins

| If you said hairbaby would people think you might be talking about human children? It's a possibility

| Well if you really want to be correct, they're not "babies" either. So then we'd just call them "dogs" or "hairdogs". Naaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
