I just see other yorkies on here with such cute little legs, and Tobey's are skinny, maybe he needs thicker hair. I feed him eukanuba so I think he is getting the right nutrition. |
My wee man is skinny too. He is 4lbs, and very very skinny, but eats the most out of my three - the other two are short legged females 4lbs each as well. Casper has the long legs, and is very very narrow....here are 2 pics of him with long hair which made him not look too bad, and then here are the three of them now - he has his hair clipped !
I think there is a build just like Casper, which I was told shows better in the ring, due to the long legs showing off the long coat better(Ozmillion type - he is from Ozmillion so that would make sense) .....and he is perfectly healthy and is 4 and a half years old now.
