you are right and I agree why would someone feed their dog less cause he or she needs to be a standard size for instance i have a inlaw who got a yorkie that her mother inlaw which is my aunt is baby sitting and she tells my aunt to feed him once a day cesare dog food and her poor dog is full of bones because she said he isnt sappose to be big these dogs arent sappose to be big people need to read the history of a dog before they purchase it yorkies were used in factorys to kill rats now a 7 pound yorkie could not kill a 13 pound rat a rat is a size of a cat and the reason why most yorkies are small its because that is what is in demand so just because it says my dog should be 7 pounds im not going to miss feed him if he wants to eat i feed him he dosnt over eat he hides his food around the house most of the time and the vet said he isnt fat because if u press against his skin u can feel his ribs he said when u press and dont feel that than he is fat he said he is perfect weight height and size so im happy with my big boy... people believe what they hear noone research's anything..
