Overgrown Yorkie

yorkies are supposed to weigh up to 3.5 kilos right? my yorkie now weighs 3.8 ilos. he's a little overweight compared to yours. i fed mine puppy food up until he was more than 10 months old that's why he got bigger than he was supposed to, but yours is super overweight! woah! but the important thing is that you love him and he's happy. can you post a picture? my yorkie weighed only 850 grams when i brought him home.

I have a a maltese and she was suppose to be less then 7 lbs and she weighs about 10! But gosh yours is way bigger than it should be! Are you sure it is a pure bred Yorkie?

I do not have a yorkie, but I do have a friend that has one. Hers too is overweight, but not as much as yours. This breed is notorous for being overweight, and they have many health problems because of it. Please put your dog on a diet before you cause major health problems that can not be recersed. The heart is the most important thing to consider when the dog is overweight and the back. Don't feed any food from the table because they gain wieght and can not digest human food as well as their own kind.
