Your baby is beautiful. Your story is unbelivable to say the least, it must have been a bad day for that person wanted to make someone else feel bad too. Concentrate on the good people in life and ignore the bad ones!

I dont like Petco always go to Petsmart. I would complain to the corporate office

rrosenberry · 06-06-2007, 10:30 AM

Wow.. what a couple of A-holes! I'd be calling or better yet show up and demand the manager..print this thread out and show them how many people all over that those kids have p-off! Better yet give us the address and we can ALL WRITE LETTERS!

angelee · 06-06-2007, 10:32 AM

He looks all Yorkie to me too...And he most certainly does have a sweet face.

That's so horrible how rude those two were. I'm sure they would act the same if they saw my little/big guy weighing in over 11 lbs. I'm not saying yours is too big...but, I feel all breeds can run big. I hope you do complain big time about those ignorant little twerps.

ha ha, you saids "twerps"!
....
Sorry, I haven't read/heard that word in a long time!

jvwheeler · 06-06-2007, 10:52 AM

Koda is very sweet looking and you were definitely meant to be a yorkie mom! You are a great mom! Mom's always feel really bad when someone says something completely awful about our children (fur and skin kids), so you are doing what any fabulous mom would do!

And I love his little face. Yorkies are yorkies, all shapes and sizes, same temperment, intelligence and beauty. Seriously, has anyone ever seen an ugly yorkie? They don't exist!

JCarlson2004 · 06-06-2007, 10:57 AM

I would definitely file a formal complaint against those 2 morons! They must be blind because Koda is aboslutely 1000000000000% Yorkie!! He's just so adorable and precious!!

zoeybear · 06-06-2007, 10:57 AM

I can't believe someone would be so fwd as to ask what you paid. He looks beautiful to me. I dont see what they were talking about. Anyone would be thrilled to have him.

LullaBelle · 06-06-2007, 10:59 AM

My Mother In Law also has a Yorkie

( Actually she is the one who made me want one

) He is going to be 3 this year ( He is so cute) He is 16 LBS. Eveybody thinks he is a silky but hes a purbread Yorkie!
My LullaBelle is a year and is 7LBS and She is Purbread too.

Now about those guys at Petco... I am sorry you had to go through that it was so rude to say the least! I would write to their coporate office, and to the local paper about your experience. Send this thread to there Corporate Email and see if you get a response. I bet you will.
Just remember you are so much better than those punks and you proved it by not blowing up at them. I am sure they were egging you on to get a negative response out of you

, and you did the right thing by not giving it to them.
Good for you!!!

Not to mention that you baby boy is 100% yorkie and too cute for words!

Lovin' Gracie · 06-06-2007, 11:03 AM

I am guessing that brain-dead employee has never seen a Yorkie PUPPY--he is probably gaging Koda's "looks" on pictures of full-grown Yorkies he's seen. I have heard many uninformed people be shocked at how different Yorkies look as babies vs. full-grown.

nancy137738 · 06-06-2007, 11:12 AM

Your dog sure looks like a yorkie to me...and I would be letting the head office know what was said...You should of got their names...creeps

They think Koda is big! They should see Buddy

I'd love to do battle
with them. I have said the samething to someone who once asked me
if "HE WAS A REAL YORKIE" I said he's breathing so I guess he's real

and
continued on my way.
I would have asked for a manager, although they aren't put together any
better, been there and done that, and reported them right infront of
customers. Embarrass the dumbo's that's the only way they will learn to keep their traps closed. Sorry you went through that but some people
are just plain ingnorant

I am sorry that you were treated like this!! Your beautiful Koda looks 100% Yorkie! People do this to me and my husband anytime we take Harley anywhere because he is huge (22lbs.) and has floppy ears. He is a purebred but people are rude to us about him because they think that all Yorkies should look like the exact standard....just not how genetics always work. However, with your sweet little guy, he does look all Yorkie to me.

Those boys sound like they are bullies and were bored.
