I had a teapot that was 15 pounds. He ran with me while I was training for a half marathon. He could go up to 5 miles. He hated big dogs. When we would see one coming toward us at the park, my husband would pick Charlie up and cover his eyes and we never missed a beat. We just kept right on running. It was the funniest sight ever. He was an excellent running companion. So, if you have a larger yorkie, I think it would be an enjoyable experience for both of you. My new baby, Barney is only 4 pounds at this time. He enjoys walking one lap around the park which is about 7 tenths of a mile. I don't think he will ever be able to run long distances like Charlie did, but I am finding that it's relaxing to take a stroll around the park and enjoy all the sights and sounds.
