Whether or not you yorkie is overweight depends on how they look from above and the side. Buster was my first dog and we loved training him and spoiling him with treats. I loved his little belly it was so cute. Sadly I got a wake up call from the Vets when he started having problems with his knees. I did not realize that I was causing Buster Brown to become obese. He had a harder time running around and playing and had even more trouble when the weather was warmer. At his highest he weighed 9.2 pounds. We have now lost a pound and am trying to loose a little bit more. You can't tell by the weight alone because their length and build factors in as well. Here are some charts you must view your baby from above and the sides. Feed your puppy Ellie but watch as she grows to make sure she stays at a healthy weight.
