It is hard though to keep your cool when people INSIST she is something she is not and look at you like a dummy because you don't agree.

OT:but your DH looks just like mine from behind. Mine is a little smaller 5'11 @ 230lbs.. but the same build. He is a Patrol Sgt/Amt. Bodybuilder. We are getting a little girl named Gia soon, and I can only inmagine what his buddies will say when he has her. BUt, he is just as excited as me, we aren't ever going to be able to have a human daughter... so this little girl will be our princess!

I wish you the best with your little Gia...funny thing is that our Lola was almost a Gia, until we realized that we call our Tino "TT" all the time and thought GG and TT sounds too much alike...but I still love the name!

It is truly adorable to see a hubby with the little pups..and truth be told. Our Lola is, and always has been, a DADDY's girl! Don't worry, when his friends meet her, she will definitely melt their hearts!

Best wishes~

Everyone ALWAYS asks me if Munchkin is a 'teacup' yorkie since she's only 1.5 lbs. I try to tell everybody the same: there's no such thing as a teacup yorkie, she's just a little smaller than standard. However, sometimes I'm just too tired to explain and just say 'Yes, she's a teacup!'

I agree with you, Its just lack of knowledge. When I was at a campground I saw a man walking 2 Eh hem so call... "Teacup Poodles" Or so that is what he told me they were. I then thought cool. Soooo I wanted a Teacup Poodle.. as I started doing research for a Teacup Poodle on the internet I found "Teacup Yorkies" That was it.. My heart was sold to Yorkies... but the more I read and researched the Breed... I found quickly there was no such thing. It was a Yorkie that just is smaller.

Hi and welcome to YT!!!!! Valentino & Lolita are BEAUTIFUL!! I understand your dilema.... I have heard this one before just worded a little differently..."How come you didn't get a teacup Yorkie instead"? (My little Yorkies are just into the teapot category... 8-9 lbs)
Then I proceed to try to explain the teacup thing.
It is too bad that people don't educate themselves on the breed of dog they get before they get them.
There is someone in our area.... that everyone had talked about a few years ago... having such a tiny Yorkie ( a "teacup") and how expensive it was. Well, I found out tonight that the poor little thing has all kinds of health problems including teeth problems.... and it is not even 3 years old!!!

Hope to see more of your posts!

ME TOO!!! I just told them that the word teacup is really just an adjective to refer to a small dog. I told him that I had wanted a tiny when I first started looking, but then learned about health risks etc and that is how I decided that 5 lbs would be perfect.... he grew bigger than that (and is still growing) but he is still perfect!!!! He said it was interesting, and now he knows that "teacups" are no different than the rest of their breed, so he won't use the phrase as often!

Welcome to YT. I live in EAGLES country and my brother was neighbors with TO and they all HATED it. Excited when he came and couldn't wait until he left. Sorry you were transferred but you got your baby out of it. There is a reason for everything.

Hmmmmm, something about a man and a Yorkie.........it just looks good.
