I don't care if she's big or not show quality etc. I love her the way she is...she's perfect to me but am very curious is this normal?

When I bought her the man told me that he only feeds the pups a small dixie cup full of dry kibble each day but his daughter had been over feeding them. I just let her eat as much as she wants (which isn't much). We've had her for 1 1/2 weeks now and I don't think she's gained much. I saw the mom and she wasn't very big. Hmmm...

Also, one of her ears kinda sticks up and the other lays down...normal? I think it's cute.

Any words of wisdom will be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

p.s. I made her some hm chicken and rice w/ veggies, etc...but she's not crazy about it and I haven't had time to adjust the recipe to her liking so for now she is eating Diamond Puppy dry kibble and filtered water and sometimes raw food products.
Awe, if that's her in your avatar, then she's a cutie! if u peruse this site, you'll find that yorkies do come in a wide range of weight, i've read somewhere on here of a yorkie in the high teen, like 16 lbs. So! (unless you are looking for a show/AKC yorkie) what's normal, normal is a happy and healthy yorkie! JMHO. Welcome to YT!
