| I chose "york-sherr" .. But I always say, "I have a yorkie..." I think when I do the whole "yorkshire terrier" thing, I sound so "stuck up"- it's very fancy sounding..LOL

| I usually say Yorkie but if I had to say yorkshire I'd pronounce it as york-sherr. I don't think I've ever heard it pronounced any other way. I must be living a sheltered life

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Yes, yes. I admit it! But don't feel too proud. There are garden snails that know more than me on many subjects.

| I used to say Yorkie when people asked what kind of dog Baby was, but then I'd get a "look" like they had never heard of a Yorkie. So now I say YORK-sherr Terrier. Sometimes I want to say YORK-sherr Terror! But if I'm talking with friends on a forum I always say Yorkie.
