He usually sits then in front of me, waves his tail and waits for me to put him in the bag...
But 10km now is seems to me okay for him because he runs all the time now and plays and even when he gets home after such a long walk, he's playful for a short period and then gets to sleep.
I also have a 3 year old rottweiler who needs very long walks because it's a big dog so I always take yorkie with us but look if he gets tired and carry him in the bag then.
I was just concerned if 10km (6miles) is too much for him...because he's only 8 months old.

Welcome to YT!

It sounds like what you're doing is OK. He is a little young, but you've taken it slow and eased him up to that distance. I agree with the others that you should watch him and make sure he's not struggling. Also, pay attention to him the next day and make sure he's not sore.

You probably should ask your vet, too. I'm just guessing. My guys only go a couple miles a day.
