w/ no bow or any colors that can distinguish them as male or famale, do most people assume they are a boy or a girl?

If I have Maddie somewhere without a bow everyone immediately calls her a boy! She even has a pink leash! Didn't know if anyone else experienced this or if this was a yorkie thing. One of my old roomates had a Maltese and EVERYONE though he was girl becuase he was so white and pretty....

Well I'm in the opposite position...everyone assumes all of mine are females.

Everybody assumes Jewels is a girl I dont know if its because shes smaller than Chachi. Sometimes they assume Chachi is a girl and to me he looks all boy

Well if it bothers you I guess your goingto have to stock up on pretty bows! Lol!

Princes mom · 09-09-2009, 04:12 AM

Most people think Prince is a girl. I think people think all yorkies are female!!

sugarmamma · 09-09-2009, 04:16 AM

lots of people call Sugar "he" ~ even in a pink dress with a bow .....some people call ALL dogs only he or only she....just like they do babies

maddiepie · 09-09-2009, 04:25 AM

hmmm..this is interesting!

Sweet Apple · 09-09-2009, 04:45 AM

Early this summer, I bought Apple a mesh harness, because it was cooler for her...They only had a blue one, so I got it...Everyone always said, "he's" so cute...Finally, I ordered a pink one, online, and now they say "she's" so cute lol...So I guess the people in my neighborhood presume the gender by the color she wears...I guess it would be interesting to see what they would say, if I put yellow, green, red or orange on her? I bet they'd, probably, associate purple w/a girl 'though...I'm going to get a fur leopard harness, when the weather gets cooler....so it'll be interesting to see what they decipher from that lol....

Everyone refers to Bailey as "She" I don't know why.

tortoisekeeper · 09-09-2009, 06:27 AM

Everyone calls my Jack a she too. He does not have a top knot but I guess its because he is so small.

Laurn7f · 09-09-2009, 06:47 AM

Boy!!! and I get so sad haha cuz she is so girly!

She has a black harness (cuz I like how it is camoflauged in her black fur and she looks nakie

...) and people always think she's a boy!

I always continue the conversation like "yeah...SHE is..." hahaha

misslissa · 09-09-2009, 08:27 AM

yeah every one thinks gatsby a girl and chichiwho is a chiweenie is a boy i got so fustrated that all chichi wears is pink and purple and all gatsby wears is blue and dark green

yorkie_mama22 · 09-09-2009, 12:35 PM

Sometimes ppl say a boy sometimes a girl it all depends

I always look at the leash to figure out if it's a boy or girl, if I can't I always ask. lol

suda · 09-09-2009, 12:41 PM

One lady asked what my girls name is, I said George, her reply was he's too pretty to be a boy, like I can change it?

AprilLove · 09-09-2009, 01:10 PM

My boy gets called a girl constantly, even when he is wearing a blue bow with a firehydrant in it. I think when you know the breed and are around them, its not hard to tell by the faces if they are a boy or a girl. But, a lot of people assume (we know what that means

) long hair means girl, LOL
