As Brit said, perhaps you could post a pic and we could see?
There are lots of bigger yorkies that are not overweight.  I forgot to welcome you to YT, so welcome to YT.  |
That was the question that came to my mind too. If he wsa meaning that the yorkie standard is that they not be over 7 pounds that would be totally different. A pic would help.
Here is a quick read to help determine if your pet is overweight:
How to Tell if Your Pet is Overweight It explains to look for the waist, "tuck" and rib cage. I had to go to the 4th site about how to determine if a dog is overweight before I found one without specifically WRONG info on yorkies. Some said they should be an average of 8 pounds and another had teacups, toy, minature, and standard listed. Too much bad info onlin especially about yorkies.
