Tacky Things People Have Said to You About Your Yorkie - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

One time I was walking them both and a guy screamed out " I will buy them both at $1 a lb." Then started waving a 20 around. I just ignored him. What is wrong with some people lol

people say all sorts of weird things thinking they are being funny, but what get's me pizzed it their reference to my dog could take your dog type comments.

Like my dog would have yours for snack, or my dog could fit your whole dog in his mouth, or my dog could use yours for bait. These comments have been ongoing for the past 20 plus years and my dogs have averaged 6 lbs, it's not like they are supersmall for this breed. I find those comments insulting and let the person know that

I had the weirdest and most disturbing comment this past Monday, I was standing outside of a store in NYC waiting for my cousin. Lola was either in her stroller or on the sidewalk. This weird looking guy comes up to me and starts asking how big is her cookie, or tootie, or hootie or who knew what, since he spoke in that really bad Ubonics type way. Finally he says real slow "I was asking how big her hoochie was because I would like to breed her with my pit bull". I just shook my head in disgust and walked away.

What in the Sam-He11 is wrong with people? LOL Who does that?? If you can't be bothered to find a good breeder/dog, how can you be bothered to actually have a dog

There are so many Yorkies and very tiny dogs here where I live I guess people are used to them. I've heard guys call small dogs "rats" and things like that generally before or when I was talking about Tibbe at work, a guy might say something about do I really have one of those rat dogs but no one has ever said anything outright tacky to me about any of my Yorkies. Usually if they do say anything, it is nice. And they all want to hold my dog! That really scares me - people just wanting to take your dog or grab it. I just turn away or say "he bites" and things like that. But so far no tacky words. I'm all set though with my come-backs if they ever do!

You should have replied "really?... maybe you should go look in the mirror?"

I know everyone has the right to their own opinion... but it's just not nice to say something like that. It's like telling a parent that their kid is ugly... Don't be sad. You and BUNCH of other people think she's just precious!

Absolutely disgusting!

yorkiemini · 08-07-2013, 04:57 PM

Generally people come in and say "aw isn't she cute" and I know they are talking about Cali, not me

Once i heard a male voice behind me make a comment about "such a little dog and all that hair" - didn't really know what he meant then looked up and saw he was a really big man with just about NO hair - jealous maybe!

msyorktown · 08-07-2013, 05:28 PM

Nothing really tacky per se about my three....just one the other day asked if Jersey was a shih Tzu...I said no she isn't, the jerk then told me I was ripped off bc there is no such thing as a Biewer!!!

I was not in a good mood...had a hot flash going on...night sweats the night before, up the whole night, etc.... so I wont repeat what I told him...lets just say I wasn't very nice....the hormones spoke, it wasn't really me....

KendraE · 08-07-2013, 05:50 PM

Oh geez... There are way too many comments!!

The rat comment is common.
Here kitty kitty.... (Not sure what that is even supposed to mean)
How much did they cost
Why is your dog wearing sunglasses... That's just retarded.
Whispers of how dumb it is to dress them up...
The stroller just blows people's minds
Are they fixed... (This is probably the #1 question asked) and my jaw just drops when people ask if they can use Bryleigh to breed! She weighs 2.4 pounds fully clothed! Morons!

I get tons of weirdos saying crap, but I get wayyyyy more great comments, so it's easy to ignore the others! I'm perfectly fine with being a crazy dog mom! And my hubby has proudly taken the role of crazy dog daddy!

ColesMommy01 · 08-07-2013, 05:53 PM

@msyorktown too funny!

I used the hormone justification all the time when my mouth takes a detour from my "southern upbringing". Like when I was pregnant, my aunt "flo" is visiting, someone ate my last krispy kreme glazed cream filled donut...

Teddysmom76 · 08-07-2013, 06:29 PM

Yesterday I tried a new groomer (awful btw) and she said: Teddy has the smallest p#$#s I have ever seen. Ummm, what? Is that reallt something to comment on? and so tacky!

ColesMommy01 · 08-07-2013, 06:32 PM

@the capt
