Ohhh all the time! My favorites are: Ew, who's rat is that? That's not REALLY a dog... Are you SURE that's a dog? Looks more like a guinea pig to me! You need to have children! Usually a roll of the eyes will do it, I try not to get upset. I don't think people are trying to be mean, I think they know yorkies are cute, and just want to say something to get a rise out of us. |

My husband felt that way when I got my first yorkie. For about 10 minutes. Now, he feels they're much superior to "dogs". LOL. It's funny how many men I've encountered that have that pre-conceived notion, and how quickly they change their mind when they see the terrier attitude and intelligence. The dogs I feel sorry for are the big ones that have no room to run or exercise. Ignorance isn't always bliss, is it. :D |
I feel your pain. That happened recently with my Chi puppy. We were eatting at an outdoor resturaunt and our waiter was like "Oh I see you have a little rat dog with you, she's way to small, she looks like a rat" and so on (he said this several times during our meal and wouldn't let up). I didn't say anything because I didn't want him to spit in my food, but as soon as the bill was payed, I left him a quarter as a tip and when he asked me why, I said "I got a tip for ya, next time don't insult my my dog!" . |

I haven't had any strangers come up to me and give me rude comments (yet, thankfully) but if they do say anything like "he's not a real dog" then I will tell them "Do you really want me to go home and get my real dog who will tear YOU to shreads?" |

I think some people have to insult small breed dogs just to make themselves feel bigger |
thankfully i haven't met any rude people so far, whew. hehe, my neighbor does call peanut, "killer". and that was when he weighed 1.5 lbs haha |
I have heard many of the same comments. Most times I just laugh but once a man said to me: "both those dogs together do not make 1 real dog". I looked at him and said: "Thanks for that insight. I better contact my vet and tell them they owe me a heck of a lot of money, for treating my fake dogs". |
