Mine like green beans & carrots too. They will eat berries, but I have only given like one or maybe 2 at a time. I have tried pretty much all vegetables but they don't show as much interest in most as they do the grean beans & carrots. They do eat little pieces of peeled apple, two of them like bananas, and Annie will eat anything. She actually shared a salad with me the other day. I was careful to only give her pieces with no dressing, but she ate lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and green pepper. My other two came to see what she was getting but they had no interest when they sniffed. They also all like watermelon and will eat tiny pieces of cantalope and honeydew.

My DIL is vegetaraian and feeds her dogs all sort of fruit and vegetables (along with a premium dog food too, so they are not vegetarians). They seem to love them all.

Just be sure to not give onion, scallions, garlic, raisins, grapes, avocado, persimmons, or pits from peaches or plums. Other than that, I think most fruit and veggies are good to go. I would always start slow nd no more than one new food at a time so you can see if there is any negative reaction and know what caused it. Yorkies are so small, even a little food/snacks can ruin their appetite for their normal puppy food. I would be careful to limit enough to make sure they still got a days serving of premium food so you know they are getting a well balanced diet with plenty of protein.
