| Tacky Things People Have Said to You About Your Yorkie I have been having a ball reading capt noonie/Priscilla's thread about our Yorkies being snubbed. Too funny. This thread is kind of a spin off on the snub thread. So, has anyone ever said anything tacky to you about your Yorkie or other pet? For example, I just love when people ask me how much my Yorkie costs. (I put this on Priscilla's thread so sorry I am repeating.) Also, just love when people drive by and scream, "GET A REAL DOG!" Would love to hear the rude and tacky comments you have heard.

| I don't know if these are tacky so much as just weird. We were walking down the street and this guy looks at us and says, "cat killer." Another time, this guy comes up to us and says, "you and your little dog too" and walks off. So we're at the butcher shop buying food for the 4th (they tell us to bring the pup in and everything is behind counters) and this old man kept making comments about barbequing my dog. The butcher interjected but he kept talking! |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I hate that question how much did he cost. I tried once to get around it in a nice way because he was my sisters friend. The guy kept asking. I finally said, are you going to give me the money I paid for him . . . No ?! . . . Now then . . . I think I will keep that piece of information to myself. And walked away.

| I haven't had a problem, but if someone walked past me and my dog and said something ignorant like that..(cat killer, hamster, etc.) I would just as casual as can be would say "a**hole" and keep walking! no problem. |

| I've had a few people call her yappy or comment on yorkie's being a yappy breed. It's really odd because Lola is basically silent, especially in public. When she does bark it's more like talking than barking anyway. *edit* I've also been judged for not adopting from a shelter and lectured about how fragile small dogs are by a pet smart employee.

YT Addict | I have had been asked the cost of the Morkie, and had someone tell me I bought a "barbie" dog. I don't say how much I paid, but say if my husband and I don't have an issue with what we paid, why should you? As far as Bailey being a "barbie dog" my husband just says, my wife is my princess so I will get her whatever dog she wants. |

| I've only got the rat comment from the neighbor at my parents house. He was trying to be funny, and we joke sometimes. But I always have a response for him last time he called Draco a rat it was "you would know you see one every time you look in the mirror" totally silly but some skateboarding kids did the "oooh" and laughs. Also a worker at petsmart asked what breed he was then said he had a long nose for a yorkie. maybe it was my look, but she quickly finished with more "he's soo cute" and baby talk in Draco's direction.

| I must scare rude people off because I have never had anything but nice comments when I take my pups out.

| "Is she a teacup yorkie?" To which I reply, "no, just a regular yorkie, the only kind there is". Thereby avoiding the whole teacup discussion. Usually.
