They are so accustomed to not being fed while I eat, that I can sit on my couch with both of them sitting next to me and they never beg. I'm glad I've taught them to not beg, because I'm always concerned that a family member or friend might give them something that might upset their sensitive tummies. I guess if you have a larger Yorkie they might be able to tolerate table food in small amounts, but better safe than sorry.
The same here. Kacee doesn't beg and she sits next to me when I'm snacking and pays no attention. She eats the healthy veggies, too. But a larger yorkie can just as easily get pancreatitis. Being bigger doesn't protect them.
