Yorkies, love excercise....however, it should be age appropriate.....small young puppies, such as yours, does not have all his innoculations and is not on heartworm meds.....wait until he does, then slowly work up to it.....increasing his activity as his body can regulate sugar balance.
I have recently placed a couple of puppies that were born last August. Both new families, are active hikers, the waited until their dogs were of the right age and had their knees, hips and feet checked to make sure they were up to it.....Both now love hiking. One loves just hiking around a lake that is a 2 mile walk. The other loves hiking with his new mom through the hills of Southern California; she takes a doggie backpack with her just in case he gets tired. The other thing they have made sure of is that both boys are flea and tick medicated.
