We do break them up into thirds cuz she's just so little for such a big treat!
Overfeeding won't cause them to get bigger than nature intended, just fatter. She'll probably be 7-8 pounds full grown, and many breeders think if you have children that this is a good size. The problem with many Yorkies is that they get excited and jump off of furnture, and if they are a little bigger aren't as likely to injure their legs. Welcome to Yorkietalk, there's lots of good tips on training and caring for your new little girl.
