| exercise How often and how much exercise do your yorkies get? Do you bring them on walks everyday or let them run in the yard or what? Me n Gracie have recently started going for walks in the afternoons and i was wandering what was the right amount of time etc! So tell me what you guys do?!!?

| Buddy gets a 15-20 min walk 4x daily. We also play for 1/2hr in the morning before I leave for work. He is home alone all day so I get up a littler earlier and give him this added attention. He loves it outside and could out walk me. I didn't realize Yorkies like the outdoors so much and just love to walk. Carol & Buddy |

| Chachi and Jewels love their walks. It has been too cold here to walk them recently. When the temperature is above 30 degrees I take them around 3 blocks. In the spring and summer we walk 1 mile a day. They love that

Donating YT 11K Club Member | I let Teddy and London run in the hall for about 1/2 hour when it's too cold. London can't go outside yet and right now there's dirty snow everywhere so I haven't taken Teddy out. |

| When the weather gets warm, I will start taking Rosie on her 3-4 mile walks 3-4xs a week. I will also take her on a 30 minute walk before work. She loves her walks! Since the weather is cold we don't go on walks because she shivers too much. |

| When the weather is good, they get a 45 min walk most days. Otherwise, they run on our enclosed deck and play for short periods. I've noticed on the days when they get exercise, they actually sleep through the night.

| Jaden walks for an hour a day (30 minutes twice a day) six days a week. Jewelina walks for about 25 minutes a day, 6 days a week because she is so much smaller. The rest of the time she rides in her stroller. We walk about 3-4 miles total and play indoors as well. |

| Pheobe loves to run, walk, parks, car rides the outdoors etc, but I don't take her out on cold days, so on those days i play with her more, also when she is out I always make sure that she eat very well (always do anyway), and have her water bottle for a break, also it depends of her how long her exercises some days she is more active than others. |

| exercise It's cold here in Michigan, but when the weather gets nicer I will walk them about a mile, or 30 minutes per day. I have been putting them on my treadmill every other day for 30 minutes. It does make them sleep good! I'm all for sleeping through the night.
