Where did this "furbaby" description of a Yorkie come from ? Sorry, but it does my head in.... Where did this description of FURBABY for a Yorkshire Terrier come from ? Eeeeeek ! :animal-pa Debra :animal-pa |
Am I to take it that you dont like this expression? I think its cute. |
I'm sorry...I don't understand? It's a term of endearment that many use when referring to their dogs... They're covered in fur...people treat them like their children...:confused: |
its for all animals i guess furry baby turned in furbaby i use it all the time its used when you love your dog like a child |
:scratchhe I'm not sure I understand the question. I refer to my Quad-Squad as my furkids and often times furbabies. Just my personal preference! |
i say hes my furry baby, or hes the baby hes the baby just a littel hairy huh frank. and on here i say yeah my skin kid or my kid and they are kids and frankies the baby and he knows it |
I use Furbaby all the time. Mine are my babies and "furbaby" just sounds like they are so spoiled. And of course they are... |
I also say "furbaby" all the time. Chloe is my baby, she just wears a fur coat all the time :p It's not just a term for Yorkies, it's all dogs. |
furbaby is just a nickname for a hairypet.... i dont really use it cause i only have lexi, so when i speak about her i say my baby... everyone knows who im talking about...... they just laugh .... |
"Fur" baby as opposed to "skin" baby. |
I call mine furbabys. Maybe its just more common for people in the U.S. to say it |
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: |
We don't use it over here....I just wondered if it came from celebrities in Hollywood or something....ie, they have FUR BABIES instead of real babies ??? We just call 'em Yorkies, lol :aimeeyork :animal-pa Debra x x x |
Debra, Maybe you can start a new thread and begin calling them furbabies!?!!! :) |
lol i think its adorable :) i love the expression |
It's a way to call them babies without actually calling them babies... kind of like Skinkids vs Furkids - then people know which we're talking about.. |

exactly!! and it's not used for our yorkies only. i don't use it personally - i say romeo is my baby PERIOD! |
why does it bother you so much? im just curious |
Furbaby. First time I ever heard that was a while before I got Ginger when I was still looking for a shihtzu through a rescue (before I decided on a yorkie). I never considered it a yorkie-specific term. |
.....Well Jacky....it's because it makes me CRINGE....and we never use it over here....a lot on this forum go on about furbabies all the time, and I just want to shout...."THEY AIN'T FURBABIES....THEY'RE YORKIES !!!" .....lol ! :rolleyes: |
:confused: :confused: Who wouldn't understand the term "furbabies" or why would it bother you so much:confused: :confused: I dont think there is anything wrong with it:confused: :confused: |
I don't understand what the big hoopla is :confused: Why would anyone care what others call their furbabies??? Feel free to use any term you'd like..lol :rolleyes: I personally love furbabies and will probably always use that term. |

It must be a YT thing |

As everyone said. It is used for any type of cat or dog. Not just yorkies. And people use if b/c they are like babies, but with fur. |
It's not just a YT thing, it's an AMERICAN THING!! Were you also laughing at the "fur-babies" wearing clothes yesterday? If you want to be nicely accepted by this community, I'd suggest joining in with the American way or not posting. I think your being rude now. |
we arent asking you to "join in" or love how we do/say things. but accept it and have some respect for people that do things diffrently |

In today's society, many people do not have human children and enjoy "parenting" these beautiful little dogs. I know my Yorkies make my life complete. In fact, I know many people who specifically choose Yorkies for their personalities and "baby-ing" ability (so to speak ;) ). Too bad you can't see it in terms of the affection and zeal people have for their "babies" when they use it!:rollingey |
Man - I thought she was kidding when she posted making fun of people who used the word Furbaby...but just saw the big red mad face she put on this thread and guess she wasn't ! lol - ooops I don't call my girls furbabies but I still think it's cute...why would someone get mad over a word said with love ??? |
