So Annoyed!
 

:mad: I'm so annoyed...the other day me and Poopy was shopping at a mall. he was sitting in his stroller getting tones of oohs and aww...:cool:

some lady and her kids were petting poopy when the lady asked "how old is he"?

5 or so months i told her...

she said, "OH MY GOSH, HE'S SO BIG FOR FIVE MONTHS. IS HE A PUREBREAD"? :eek:

i told her yes, but she kept on insisting that he was not...because "SHE" has a yorkie and she "KNOWS" they should be around 5 pounds full grown. i told her the standard yorkie could weigh up to 7 pounds and it's not uncommon for yorkies to even be bigger.

(i don't care if someone says he's a big yorkie, but to keep insisting that he's not a purebread and to keep it up until i had enough and had to leave is annoying. i told her i had all the paperworks, he's AKA certified and everything, but she still insisted that he's not a purebread.

he was 2 pounds at 2 1/2 months but from then kept growing fast and now he weighs about 7pounds. my veternarian said some dogs just have their growth spurts early and most likely the vet said poopy would weigh around 7.5-8.5 pounds full grown. to me he may not be a tiny yorkie or even a 5 pound yorkie, but he's a definite purebreed and PROUD OF IT...! he's still just as cute, precious, and full of energy as any other puppy. :animal36

that lady was so annoying....! i just had to vent about it to someone. thanks guys... :mad:

Some people are just rude and stupid!

That's exactly the kind of thing that used to drive me insane. Ginger's not only big, (but check out her avatar), her ears never stood up. (and yes, I taped). Thanks to YT, now I just smile and say she's a teapot yorkie. :) AT that point they either decide I'm a complete idiot and give up, or realize they may be stepping on toes. Honestly though, once I stopped getting defensive about her "yorkiehood", it quit bothering me and oddly, people seemed to stop being so persistent.

Hang in there. There's a lot o misinformation out there and an astounding number of "experts" who love to give their two cents.

i love that..."teapot" that's so funny... i might have to borrow that one... and your lil one's ear is adorable. i think they are cute either way... up or down.

I wonder if those people say the same thing to people who have large skin babies. "UH, Excuse me mam, but is your baby purebred or half alien". LOL :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears

I totally agree ~~~ :thumbup:

Dont think anymore into it ! You fur-baby is perfect and she was just stupid !!

Why do stupid people have to act like they know EVERYTHING????

Dont ya just love "know it alls"

LOLOL that was funny!!!!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHA i just burst out laughing at your comment!! :D

I don't know why people do that either. I've heard a lot of people say that about other peoples dogs. And that annoys me when people do that. If they knew what the heck they were talking about they would educate themselves enough to know at least the basic standard of the breed of dog that they have. most of them have small dog just because it fashionable.

Poopy's Mommy don't worry about it, I find that most people like that all that they know is that they have a small dog and that's it.

Next time just ask so stupid people if you could see their degree!!

Degree in Yorkieology!!!

You could always tell them they don't know much about their own breed not to know anything about their sizes.

Obviously, they have LOTS to learn, next time they make that comment, please send them here! ;)

I know exactly how you feel. I took tucker to the mall, and was carrying him around. All of a sudden this stuck up, snob of a women, walks up with her daughter, and says "I see you have a teacup Maltese" while she dangled her bony finger in my Tuckers face. I politely informed her, he was not a Maltese or a teacup (he was 11 weeks and 1 pound 11 ounces at the time), and that there was no such thing as a teacup anything. She then started arguing with me about how he was obviously a teacup maltese, and I didn't know what kind of dog I bought. I eventually got heated:mad: and told her "If he were a maltese his coat wouldn't be black and tan, it would be white or so variation of white, and get your finger out my puppies face!:mad: ". Some people have a lot of nerve, but not a lot of brains:thumbdown

you should of poined at one of her kids and asked if it was a boy or a girl lol:D all of my yorkies are big annie cos shes fat but the others are all big, and funny ive never had anyone in the uk ask if they were pure or not i wonder if there are more big yorkies here than in the usa so we are more use to them?
