| Finally, Positive reaction to a larger yorkie I was in the pet store yesterday with Buddy and a lady was behind me in line. Believe it or not she actually recognized him as a Yorkie and loved his size. She asked why he was so big, which I really could not really answer and then she said his size would be great for a family with children. I finally received a positive comment regarding his size. She also loved his silky coat and his handsome face. I walked out of the store on cloud 9 |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | He is so handsome. I am glad someone had the good taste to tell you!!! My first Yorkie was 18 lbs floppy ears and wavy short coat and AKC. He had quite a personality and my father talks about him to this day and we had him from 1970 to 1983.

| Your Buddy is just beautiful. I remember what happened with you guys a couple of weeks ago. Just remember, stupid people make stupid comments. My sister has a large Yorkie, and he is our cuddle muffin At least I can smush/hug him without fearing I'll crush him |

| I've always believed it to be true A person's comments say more about them than it does the subject they are commenting on. Some people see the positive, some see the negative, some want to encourage & compliment others & some enjoy putting others down. |

| I think Buddy is beautiful I always love to look at the avatars and yours always catches my eye. Big or small or even in between Yorkies are all loved in my eyes I am so glad that you had a reation in his favor. When I take my two out together no one ever pays a mind to Kodi who is only 6 pounds. They all ooooh and awww over Daisy who is 5 pounds. I feel bad so I take them seperate alot so they both get love. |

It does seem like the smaller the cuter in some folks eyes. The reaction I usually get is: Is that a real Yorkie? I have said once, he's breathing so I guess that makes him real I just walked away and did'nt wait for an answer. It was really nice to get a sweet comment on Bud for a change. | |

I have the Same problem Lori does, since I've had Jewelina every oogles over here because she is super tiny and Jaden gets attention too but not the same amount that he used to and he's barely even 4 pounds and very petite!! In real life you'd guess he'd be right at 3 pounds because his bones are really petite. Because she's so small and petite though, she looks even smaller than she is and I guess she makes him look "big" It makes me sad sometimes though, that all people see is size anymore. All I ever hear when I take Jaden and Jewelina out is T-cup this and T-cup that and where did you get those T-cup yorkies, I want one really small like that It gets so annoying after a while! It's too bad people can't see ALL yorkies for the loving wonderful creatures that they are! | |

| At last, there is someone who knows what they are talking about! And I am so happy for you and you must be beaming! The only person who will not complain that I have a big yorkie is the boss of the pet supply and grooming store near my house. She actually loves loves loves Siu Pao and complimented on his size...everytime I go there I just feel so happy and buys more stuffs

| Ignoring Jaden! I'll put their lights out You really have to believe they are just ignorant when they ignore a 4lb dog when there is also a 3lb around. Makes no sence. Just better walking away. I love you Jaden, all 4lbs of you |

| I don't usually post here as I'm somewhat new and just getting started but your post caught my eye. My Cooper is 11lbs with floppy ears. He is a Yorkie thru and thru. The reality is that the Yorkie was not as tiny as they are these days and even though my Coopers sister and brothers were tiny at 3-5lbs. he ended up bigger. I will tell you, I personally prefer it for pratical reasons. Don't get me wrong, I adore the little ones and am always tempted to add to my gang with a tiny, but I also work and when I had my smaller baby 4lbs (she lives w/ my mom now) it was so hard to get the potty thing under control etc. My Cooper is fully potty trained, and even though he may not get the looks/attention that an adorable tiny will get, he is the absolute best dog I've ever had, we have a great bond and I adore him. Now, I've also just added a Biewer to my home recently as well he is 7lbs and will probably top out at 8-9lbs. He is doing great on potty and loves to rough house w/ Cooper and my Golden. I think I would not get a tiny baby until I can go either Part Time or be home all day..Anyways, as all Yorkies are, your Buddy is beautiful!! Kathy |
