I don't mean to sound rude, but why even waste your time? People have opinions (no matter how rude or stupid).. so what.

cchu · 01-14-2007, 05:32 PM

that post that you were talking about has been flagged down.

I did read the re yorkie post about the diff between silky's and yorkies.

These people are just out for money. That is sad.

People want Yorkies for one reason, they *think* it is fashionable to own one, to carry one, etc. and because they don't think things through. They are the types of people that think of dogs as an object to own. That's wh-y they buy them for $1500, decide they don't like them, and then suddenly realize that "their landlord doesn't allow pets" or "their child is allergic" and they unload them on here for $800 to the next wannabe. I feel sorry for them and for the dogs.

Zoey's Momma · 01-14-2007, 07:53 PM

Just ignore that rude comment. My yorkie is my best friend, not a fashion accessory.

Wow, thanks for pasting that, it's kinda shallow for someone to even think that. That's like saying the Macho guy chose a rottweiler because it's Macho to own one.

I think the person who said this statement should do some research of his own. Yorkies are highly recommended for people who have allergies.

Sorry for what I am going to say in advance..
But.. actually some people do think that stuff.. but not only with Yorkies
I just the love the breed
BUT..

They sure make me look mighty fine and they make alot of others smile too

JiggityJig · 01-14-2007, 09:27 PM

I don't think that person was bashing yorkies. I think what they sd. about people buying them, and then getting tired of them when the novelty wears off, is very (SADLY!) true.

cchu · 01-14-2007, 09:29 PM

I feel like the reason people feel this way is because of the celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears flashing their Chi's around like they are an accessory. I would obvioulsy LOVE to show off my Zoe but IF I was famous, I would never subject him to a red carpet event with all those people and all those flashes not to mention HOURS of not being to have freedom.

Its people like Kelly Rowland and Molly Sims that show off thei dogs when they are giving tours of their houses that I LOVE LOVE LOVE.

*I'm a celebrity gossip queen so I know these things...hee hee.
