Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with giving Yorkies "real" food. As long as it isn't fried or seasoned, it certainly isn't dangerous. After all, dogs ate "real" food before dog food was invented. I wouldn't feed my dog something literally off of my plate - unless it was raw. But they do get fresh food everyday...things like boiled chicken, peas, green beans, carrots, cheese, eggs, Cheerios, etc. When I give them something they haven't eaten before, I give them a tiny bit just to make sure they don't have a negative reaction to it. And I don't give them enough so that they won't eat their own dog food. But I think that a little treat every once in a while is fine.
