I'm really worried about her habit of jumping around the furniture. We got her stairs but all she does is jump on and off the sofas. I really wanna know if this is something that must be stopped at her current age and weright (4 months old and past 2 pounds) to avoid any future problems like Luxating Patella or Hip Displasia.

also, I have been told that she's too big for her age, so I was wondering what you people thought about her weight since I'm worried that she could develop any future problems if she's overweight as a puppy. She's already bigger than my aunt's 9 months old pug and as big as my sister's 1 yo maltese. My girlfriend and I have been following a feeding schedule given by our vet ever since we got her a week ago, and so far it doesn't seem like she wants to eat more than the 1/2 cup (spread throughout the day in 2 small meals of 1/4 cups) recommended by our vet. We are feeding her with Royal Canin's yorkie food for dogs younger than 10 months old, which I hope doesn't have a bad reputation around this forum since it's the first time I've bought dog food of that brand. I usually just cook food for my labradors and mix it with dog food. They are currently pretty active despite being 12 and 13 years old, so I'd like to think that I have been doing the right thing with their diet, but I'm worried that my yorkie's stomach wouldn't be as strong as my other dogs' back when they were puppies, so for now I wanna stick to what my vet says that its the best for her.


Thanks in advance for your help. I hope I can learn a lot from this community.
