5 pounds is not huge and to be honest I love his weight, any smaller and I would be really afraid of him getting hurt. I think people are so use to seeing yorkies that are 2 pounds that when they see a yorkie that is within the standard of 4-7 pounds they think they are huge yorkies. It really gets on my nerves that people can be so rude and ignorant.

| snickers is 6.5-7lbs at 9months and... either ppl are calling her shark bait or they are saying she is "too big" for a yorkie now my (general) understanding is she is a "standard" sized yorkie which i thought was a good thing?? what do ppl consider a "big" yorkie? |

| You know what I HATE....when people come up and say, Ohhh what a cute little dog....I have a BIG {whatever breed applies} at home that would eat you....{said in a baby voice} That gets me SOOOO pissed! It seems that just about every single time I take mine out, I hear that at least once! So yesterday it happened again as usual, and this woman said, Ohhhhh well I have a Huuuuge siberian husky at home thats 10 times your little size {again with the baby voice} so I just cut the lady right off (I was in a really pissy mood) and said, Yea, well his sister is a Great Dane, So I guess we got you beat, in the big category, huh? She just stopped, looked at me for a second and said, Uh, Yea....I would say so! End of conversation! LOL |

| Ref: What Ticks me Off Some people are just dense, God love 'em. My Bear happens to be a red leg Yorkie and has a very short coat. Some folks don't believe he's a "real" Yorkie. I smile and rely, "yes", while I'm thinking, "You wanna see his pedigree?" |

You should ask them "Is that your real hair?" or something like that.... Although Adrianna is fits the stereotypical "small purse size" Yorkie type, I HATE the "Oh, is she a teacup?" "Oh, is she a tiny?". I just wanna say "Does she LOOK like something you drink out of?!?!!?" Or like someone above me mentioned "Yes, she's a tiny PITBULL!!!!" And it's WORSE when someone who HAS a yorkie asks me that!!!

| i am reading these posts and getting fueled up myself... people seem to think they can just come up to Layla and pick her up... they don't even ask... to me she is equivilant to my child.. i dont' think anyone woudl want a stranger picking up their kid.. and i can relate to the person who gets the "rat" comment.. layla is always been called a rat and it kinda hurts my feelings.. she is almost 6 months and a little over 2.5 pounds.. but that doen'st give you the freedom of speech to make fun of her.. lately my family has been ALL OVER ME for holding layla.. they say they have never seen her walk.. well she just had surgery about a week ago and we are visiting from out of town.. a) i'm not going to just let her wander in a house where she could eat something off the floor and b) she is nervous in new places and wants to be in my lap... grrr. ok now that that is out.. i feel better.. great idea for a post thank you whoever had the idea! |
