Talk about rude or ignorant people. I was having my nails done and talking about my little girl yorkie who's since passed on. She had just had surgery and I was telling someone that if the surgery didn't work we would have no choice but to put her to sleep. My manicurist said to me--"Can't you breed her before you put her down, my daughter wants a free yorkie? I regret not telling her to go to h**l. Since then I haven't been asked about her there and quite frankly I haven't brought it up because, I think it will dishonor her to have her discussed by them. But if she does, I am letting her have it!!!! How's that for insentitive? |

Lacy's 7lbs and I've gotten a couple comments about her being big (even though she's pretty normal sized to me)..it's usually when she's around her two yorkie friends that are 3lbs so she does look big compared to them. I've just realized that a lot of people are stupid and don't think before they speak...and most of the time they are making comments about something that they don't even know about. People who don't know a yorkie from a shih tzu try to tell you your dog is too big... Dumb |
Here are my TWO (10) lb yorkies 3 Attachment(s) I have two 10 lb girls.... just right size i think...they are beautiful girls and no matter there weight they are yorkies and how can anyone resist loving these two faces..... |

I think it's time we made up a great story for when people comment about our "humongous" yorkies. My father used to tell people that he'd been shot 6 or 7 times after he told them he was from NYC, and they would ask if he was scared to live there. It shut them right up. Let's see - how about something to do with how rare the larger Yorkies are, and that they go for at least $4000. Very hard to get too. There's a wait list and they're only imported from Tahiti. They're the wave of the future! Tahitian Terriers. Even PH can't get one. She's not eligible. She has a criminal record. |

This really pisses me off. I'm sorry that this happened to you. |
I have a rude person story also. I was walking through...well what do ya know...Petco. And there was a traing class going on so, I was carrying my past Yorkie Cheyenne so that she could see the other dogs. She was so cute and all of the people in the class stopped to admire her. The trainer said very rudely "see that's how you make little dogs mean a nippy, you're not supposed to carry them all the time." I was soooo mad! My dog was the sweetest thing that I had ever known, she was NEVER nippy and I had carried her for more than half of her life. Needless to say, I will never take my dog to a Petco traing class as I think the trainers are a bit uninformed about some things. (Hope I didnt offend anyone or Petco:p .) |
Some People I get this with Lucy too. She's about 11 lbs and has floppy ears. Sometimes people just tell me how cute she is and others mention her "faults." I just tell them that they're being rude and that if Lucy had been a child, they would never even think of mentioning such things to the child's parent. They usually get really embarrassed and walk away. It always makes me feel better. |
You are hilarious..LOL Quote:

Dezi is 7 1/2 lbs almost 2 years old and I get the same remarks from people. "Oh look how cute" "she is one of the big ones". Then they go off to tell me how their friend had a "teacup" yorkie. I just ignore them. |

What a sweetie! [QUOTE=Doodlebug;1361448]I totally agree with this post.... I wonder what these people would say if they saw my 13 LB YORKIE with floppy ears! " Your gorgeous girl is just perfect! I love the floppy ears. I also love to see dogs in their natural state, like yorkies with their tails...I have seen one in the neighborhood and just think it is wonderful. Any size, any variation, yorkies are adorable no matter what! :aimeeyork ~Melody |
I have just got a 'little' girl on sunday and i'm just totally smitten with her..can you tell? LOL anyways..my hubby wanted to show her off today to some friends..i would rather have stayed home as i'm a bit paranoid and protective at the mo..:rolleyes: i met some of my hubbys associates at the police station and the Town hall (my hubby is a Town councillor)..everyone was bowled over by her of course..she's 14 weeks and weighs 1.5lbs and i noticed that people seemed to almost pity her because she's so tiny and i found myself defending her and telling them what a good apetite she has. My Heidi who i lost in may this year was 5-6lbs and she would get rude comments all the time usually idiots calling her a rat..it used to make me so angry..why do people think they can be so rude is beyond me...just rise above these small minded idiots..unfortunatley the world is full of them! |

I just picked up my new little girl yesterday. She's about 2 1/2 pounds and I can't believe how little she is! She's 13 weeks old. Max, my boy is 17 months old and is about 9 pounds. |
I wonder what these people would say if they saw my 13 LB YORKIE with floppy ears! I have never had rude comments made about my big girl but I would just ignore (or try to) someone that would make rude comments to me. The reason is that their comments mean nothing to me and I could care less what they think about my dog. They are apparently insecure about their dogs or themselves, or both.[/QUOTE] She's really beautiful! Is she a redhead? Are her ears the way Yorkie's ears are when they're not clipped? There's a really interesting thread on not clipping ears or docking tails. (and about earrings) http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...light=earrings |

I am SO sorry this happened to you. I, too, would have been offended and angry. :mad: This happens frequently as evidenced by many posters sharing their experiences. It seems there is lots of "competition" with this breed and it is so silly...........especially, coming from grown women!! Let me share some of mine......... When Bobbi was around 14 weeks old, I would get many nasty remarks about him. "Is he pure yorkie?" "He's definitely a mix." "He is too big to be a teacup" (No, idiot, your brain is too small-oh and by the way, there is no such thing!!) For crying out loud, you can't please everyone (not that you are there to please them). He is a 4lb dog........and a very normal/healthy one at that!!.. Yes, maybe he wasn't the typical adorable baby yorkie at that age(at least to some people because he is perfect in every way to me). Now, I don't go to the local petstores to prance around with my pets, nor to please anyone-other than, MY PETS!! I take them to the petstore to enjoy the moment, shop and try things on before I buy. Having said that, I could care a flippin' monkey what those people have to say about my pets. Yes, I take it to the heart sometimes because it hurts.......but I have learned that generally those type of insensitive comments come from shallow-minded, pathetic individuals who have no life and the ONLY reason they are there is to compare their accessories (aka pets) to others. They get a "high" from devaluating yours............simply ill and STUPID :rolleyes: Sorry for the rant..........:D |

I think she is even more beautiful in person! She is actually the same color that is in the photo. I'm not sure what you would call it. LOL Daisy has very thick cottony hair. We got her ears tipped when she was a pup but her hair was soooo thick that her ears didn't stand up. We didn't know anything about taping ears then but I don't think we would have even if we had. Thanks for the link. I don't think they would work on my baby girl because of her thick hair. And if they did you wouldn't be able to see them for all the hair. LOL |
This is a very simplistic reply to the OP. Unless your precious Buster is a show dog in the show ring, or is on public display for the purpose of comments, then it isn't anyone's business. He is your beloved. You think he is the most beautiful Yorkie in the whole world and that is all that matters. Just ignore mean, hateful, ignorant remarks. Remember: Some people elevate themselves by putting others down. What a pitiful shallow person it takes to rob another of their joy in life. EVIL ps. The word "cute" must have been invented to describe Buster :D |

1 Attachment(s) A picture of Buster when I first got him...3 short months ago! Not a great one - had to photoshop out the ex! :D :D |
1 Attachment(s) Here is my 13lb floppy ear girl and heaven forbid someone was to insult her, she would get her feeling hurt as all our friends tell her she is a cutie! She doesn't even know she is a dog...... I would have to tell them to be more sensitive to Pupples (peoples) feelings!!!!;) |
