| Short Legged Baby We just got our new baby Connor on Thursday. He looks like an adorable little puff ball with SHORT legs! Does anyone on YT have a yorkie with legs that are shorter than average? |

| I think my Skyler has short legs. All my other babies can jump and go through the doggie door with no problem but Sky barks for me to help him. I do sometimes feel bad that he can't always do what his sisters and brother can do but he mostly manages just fine. I guess that's what makes him special. Your little one sounds just as special. Any pictures of your little furbaby?

| Congrats! Can't wait to see pictures of Connor. I too, think my Zhoie is shorter than the average. She doesn't jump up or down from anything. I have been told that is a blessing, less likely of leg injuries. I pray that holds true for us all.

| My foster katie had shorter legs,, but she could still jump and run really fast. The only setback I found with her was it was harder to do tricks involving paws, but she still got it, it just took longer than i expected. Sometimes the regular hand signals don't work.

| I'm not sure if my Skippy's legs are shorter than average, but they're definitely short. He looks like a sausage with legs and hops more than runs through the grass.

| Maggie's legs are short. Looks cute and she can out run Buster. She can jump but I really don't want her to. But she has really short legs compared to Buster.

| MY Jewels has short little legs I think they are cute. It doesn't slow her down either but she has trouble jumping up on some things sometimes. Thats okay because I really don't want her jumping anyway
