How fast is your Yorkie? I am fortunate to have a field and woods nearby where Bessie can run off the lead. And she is fast!

During walks I let her drop back maybe 50m behind me before I whistle her in. But I usually don't need to, and if I do she responds nearly straight away 90% of the time. Then she sprints in at full tilt, leaping over obstacles and for the joy of it, passing me on a free run by about 20m. Then doubles back, so pleased with herself.

She is faster than a lot of bigger dogs so maybe her honorary Greyhound/Lurcher status helps, but I never expected a Yorkie to be so athletic. Even for a big'un.
