Yorkies are expensive dogs. They are not real common especially among the working class

A working class? Didn't they originate as the working class dog back in England? I suppose as long as you really really want one you just save up. Just like with a car. In the long term, having a small dog really is cheaper than a big one (I know, I grew up with a German Shepherd). Today, walking Pepper, I happened to pass a guy working in a warehouse who told me his family had 2 Yorkies at home.

Every time my husband takes Baloo on a walk he says everyone wants to play with the dog and they all ask what kind of dog it is! Except for yesterday when we were both walking him and letting him play off his leash, an elderly lady came up to us and wanted to see him. She then told us her life story regarding yorkies

it was actually really sweet because she lived in Armenia and had one when she was 8 or 9 and still has pictures of her and the puppy. One of the funniest stories was the puppy would sit behind her back on a chair while eating dinner and she would sneak food to the dog and then the dog would scratch her back when it wanted more.

Yes, people stop us everywhere we go and as what breed he is. Some people know, but very few.

What a cute story.

I have always known what a yorkie is and I have always wanted one. Some people just are not into dogs so they dont pay attention.

Ponyup · 10-12-2006, 10:57 AM

I get asked this question, but usually it's because Logan is on the big side. I get is that a yorkie?, a lot. I just smile & say yup he's just on the big side.

I did have one lady ask once. Is that a yorkie & I said yup & she said my dad has one, but it's a long haired one (we keep Logan in a puppy cut), I thought that was kinda cute.

yorkiepip · 10-12-2006, 11:59 AM

I was once asked if Pippa was a alsation puppy!!!!
How stupid can some people be???????????

Now go to a dog show and you will see 20 lined up in a row that all look alike.
This is why people should be striving to breed according to the standard and not because your dog has akc papers. This is why alot of yorkies are so different looking. Even in the ring you see bigger and smaller yorkies but they still look like a yorkie because they have been bred to represent the standard.

daisysis · 10-12-2006, 03:32 PM

YEAP..I am asked that all the time.. most people think a Yorkie should fit in your COFFEE CUP only. People think my 5 pound girl is big for a yorkie they ask me is she full breed..
EEKEEKEEEKEKKKEKKKKEKKEEEEKKKKEEKKKK it really bugs me
