| Comparing yorkies? My family took a 3 hour trip to San Antonio yesterday and we forgot to bring Buttercup's food (BAD) We rushed around town to find the neareast petstore and found Petco. I ran in with my son and Buttercup and grabbed what I usually buy (Science Diet for puppies) and then a man comes up to me and said "why are you feeding for dog cheap sh*t?" I told the man that the only cheap sh*t I see was his ugly face. (That was totally mean, but I had to) He then goes how much did you pay for your cheap sh*t yorkie? I paid $3500 for mine and she looks nothing like yours. I ignored what he said and told my son we had to leave, before we turned our backs to leave, my son stood up on the cart and spat in the mans face. I can't believe people would actually compare yorkies. They're all the same! |

| This man was rude and I understand your reaction. I am horrified at your son spitting in this man's face- I hope you told him this was unacceptable,however nasty the man. Your comment in return was enough. I agree that all Yorkies are as cute as each other.

| "I paid $3500 for mine and she looks nothing like yours." I would have said I was sorry he paid so much and was so unhappy with the way his looked. That I loved the way mine looked.

| i would have been offended by both the man and your son's reaction. I would have tried to find enough grace and class to walk away but knowing me and my smart mouth, I probably wouldn't have found it. |

| You should have said "Well there's a fool born every minute." Not sure if I would have allowed my child to spit at someone though. Two wrongs does not make a right. Sometimes we just need to consider the sourced and turn the other cheek. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | OMGosh what a horrible thing to say to you and I really don't think MORE MONEY makes any yorkie better....I've seen some expensive yorkies and I'm perfectly happy with my 2 UNDER-priced girls - and I also was pretty shocked that a child would spit in someones face....That needs to be stopped asap - sorry - but that is really going to land him in trouble one day.... but I do understand his feelings. It's WAY better to not let people like that get to you ...I have a super smart mouth myself and I think I would have laughed at the guy for Spending SO MUCH money and told him there's a sucker born EVERY MINUTE |

| Everyone compares Yorkies. Read the boards. Most of our discussions are about how they range in size and looks and price. Sounds like he struck a nerve and everyone over reacted. Too bad your son had to witness such a scene. |

| I figure it's better to ignore people like him, why give them the satisfaction of reacting to what they say? But I find it kind of amusing that the man had to brag about how much he paid for his Yorkie. Wonder what he was trying to compensate for?
