Do u get this question??
 

I took Wyatt to the mall the other day...and u would be suprised how many people asked...WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THAT?? I was like OMG are u serious...are we the only ones in this world that know about them??? Has anyone every asked you this?? Let me know i hope im not the only one that gets this question...is it cause of where i live??? HUH???

:confused: :confused:

I get it all the time... some people know they are a terrier of some sort... Annoying, but that's how they learn... and then they want one too ;)

Yea i know...then they ask me where did i get him from and how much and do they still have some..cause they want to go and buy one! Ha! I didnt realize how much hard work it is to have one and i tell them that...but wyatt is a good dog...im glad my hubby and i have good hours...cause when im at work hes home with him and then when i get home..he goes to work...perfect! But its funny when i tell them u have to be home to have one of these till they get older they are like ok i will quit my job...wow :eek: i was like no its not that serious...just wait till times are better! geez! The nerve of some people..just wait...i did!:D

oh yes many a time. I even get asked if my two are the same breed. Uh yeah do you have eyes? LOL JK. maybe it's cause we keep Tigger shaven and cut short and Bear still has his puppy hair but it drives me insane. Next time I want to say " nope this is a yorkie and this is a yorkie look alike" see what kind of reaction I'd get from that. ha ha ha

Oh, yeah!:D

Funny, it seems that almost everyone askes me that question and I think to myself........it's a Yorkie...Duh! I always knew what Yorkies were before I owned one so I just figure that anyone who hasn't come from another planet knows too! LOL OOOPS, guess not! ;)

lol yea i always knew what there were before i owned one too...people have to get up on game here! LOL

Can't believe you guys!

If I took 20 Yorkies and lined them up in a row - more often than not, they wouldn't even resemble one other.

Remember Yorkies can weigh from 1 1/2 pounds to as much as 14 (or more). Their colors can be different - their types of coats can be different. Some have ears up - some ears down - and to top it off they can have a dozen different haircuts.....

I have had my Yorkie for more than a year and during this time, I have only seen three others - and two of these were at pet stores. If you don't go where people with dogs go - you just don't see as many dogs out and around as you used to.

I have a Bichon Frise and even fewer people know or can remember the name of this breed (there are over 150 - probably closer to 200 different recognized breeds now). And - for people who don't have dogs (or have had their one dog most of their life) keeping up with the names of even the most common breeds isn't easy. And - for sure - a lot of people don't have the interest in dogs to begin with that most of us do. They love their own pet - but being a purebred this or a purebred that isn't something they're interested in at all - or pay much attention to.

With all the leash laws, etc. anymore - there are a lot of different breeds that I almost never see...... or better yet - never see.

People are always asking me what my little Yorkie is. I tell them that I know he looks like a loveable little Walt Disney mutt - but he really is a Yorkie. Can you imagine him with his one ear up and the other down sporting a home-done puppy cut? He, for sure, doesn't resemble the Yorkie that you see at the dog show - if you watch dogs shows or go to dog shows (a lot of people don't).

I have friends who have other purebred dogs - and they are ask all the time what their dogs are also.

It's not an annoying question to me at all. Actually, it's a very friendly question. I'm sure if I ask 50 strangers what breed of dog I was holding - most of them wouldn't know......

I get the same thing, or thats a yorkie right? like there not sure if it is or not.

I always ask this question with any breed. I know most of the breeds as I have studied them and got spot one and tell you what breed it is. However, there are alot of mixes out there and lately when I would say what a cute yorkie or other breed, they would get offended and have to say no she is a morkie, or a yorkiepoo. Don't ask me why they would get offended, they just do.:confused: So now I always ask it in a question, even though I have a good idea what breed the dog is, so I don't offend anyone. I know its weird, isn't it??

We get the question all the time and I think it's a kind one... :aimeeyork

Mitzis Mom - I can't believe how much Mitzi and Chloe look alike - reckon they're kin:D

Being from Texas (and you know, everything here is BIG), I don't think I really knew what a Yorkshire Terrier was until I got my Chester. I certainly didn't know what he was when I stole him (you'll have to read my other posts for this sad story). One thing's for sure, once you've had one, you can't be without:p

In NY people just approach me and ask "how much was it?". They're all too familiar with the breed. Even though his one ear's up, one down (for now I hope :confused: LOL) and he's losing his black fur in case of silver all over him -which is not as typical as the regular steel blue. But before I got Pepper I thought Yorkie puppies look like adult Yorkies, only smaller, the whole set with long flowing hair and the bow (I know - silly me :rolleyes: ) and if came across a puppy looking nothing like a grown Yorkie I'd ve asked too.....

Most be seem to know that Bella is a Yorkie but on occasion I do get asked if she's one of the mixed breeds.

I once had someone tell me I had a cute squirrel. :rolleyes:

:p We are just happy that Toto gets noticed!!! We always have to allow extra time when we take her out because everyone wants to touch, kiss and ask questions about her! We just figure it's part of the "Yorkie Experience"!! :cool:

yep! all the time! I just simply say a "Yorkie"

Hey, they really do look very alike!!!!!!!!!

As for biiiiiig, my Leonberger Inka (150 lbs. R.I.P.) would have fit right in in TX!

Now, everybody... go ask me what kind of dog is that...

I was so excited to see a lady at the mall last night with a yorkie pup... If I hadn't beed researching the breed I wouldn't have known what it was... 2lbs and short fluffy puppy hair? (he was sooooo cute though ;) )

I love the cute squrriel comment. That cracks me up. WE call Molly a Hamster or a midget. I have back problems and have a hard time getting around sometimes. My friends ask me what I do with Molly when I am not doing well. I tell them I put her in her cage and she runs on a wheel. The goof balls believe me!!! I live in a neighborhood where their are 10 yorkie families. We call it yorkieville. I do get asked how much she cost. I think that is rude. You don't go around asking people how much their car cost or their clothes. I guess they know they are expensive. I say how much would you pay for true love???? That shuts them up. Connie k

Well, get this........I get this question ALL the time! I tell them that they are yorkies and then they say........."ARE THEY TEACUP YORKIES?!" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I just tell them that there's really no such thing as a "teacup" yorkie and that mine are just small.

I agree with you Carol Jean....If you don't know alot about dogs how would you know what the breed is..I remember being at the vets once and someone had come in with a very large dog...he was mostly black, with some white and tan on him...and had long hair...I asked the man if his dog was a cross between a lab and a St. Bernard!! He very nicely told me that is was a Bermese Mountain Dog....I felt more embarrased than stupid...There are alot of dogs out there (that unless you watch every dog show) that you wouldn't know the breed...I also get people asking me what kind of dog my furgirls are...Most of the time they ask me if they are silky's..I just tell them No...they are yorkshire terriers....

I get this question alot in my neighborhood where there arent any other yorkies. When I have them out and about though there are alot of people that know they are yorkies. It doesnt bother me when someone asks though. I have one that is long haired and one that is short, one that is bigger and one that is smaller and they look very different

I get it a lot. But you don't see a lot of them, at least not in this area.

I get this question a lot too. The other day someone asked me if he was a schnauzer (sp?). I wanted to lunge at them. But I didn't. I just responded with, "No, he's a yorkie and he has a bad haircut."

Max is a biewer yorkie and I get that question all the time. I find myself saying "No, really, he IS a yorkie" all the time and almost kind of defending his coloring. Usually after I explain the cliff notes version of the German Biewer Yorkie history, I get a "ahhhhhh" but I know they're still thinking ok, what did she just say? lol

When I took him to my vet the first time, he found Max so interesting that he immediately did a biewer search online (while we were still there) and seemed even more intrigued. It was kind of cool to see his excitement.

My vet has never seen a parti yorkie either

I can't wait til I get mine and cna take her in to show him

Well be honest now.

How many other breeds of dogs, Other than labs and collies and such common breeds, would you recognize.

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

I had people who would drive by and stop there car, asking 'Is that a dog?'. We couldnt go anywhere without a million stupid questions.
The best was I had Baxter in a little enclosure of boards about 11 inches high on my patio for him to pee in and one night as I watched him through the door this HUGE cat came and sat on the outside looking over. You could tell the cat was really confused about what he was seeing like "It smells like a dog but its too small'. Baxter was only 2lbs at that point. I have never seen a cat look completely confused before.lol.:p

I get that question about my poodle all the time........oh, and yes she has the typical poodle cut with the pom poms..........:D :D :D

I get asked allllll the time, but it's usually something like "Is that a yorkie? She is so small, do they alllll come like that?"..lol..which usually prompts me to tell them how much work it is and I only have to name a few things before they back up. Unless I get a better feel for the person and they seem like they really want one to love it, not to carry it around as an accessory. Lots of people with their kids approach me and talk about getting one for their kids and since I don't know how their kids behave with animals, I usually suggest a more sturdy breed. I really can't go anywhere without at least 10 questions. I usually don't mind though, it's usually, "IS THAT A TEACUP" to which I answer, no it's a yorkshire terrier, which annoy me.
