It's hard to say what size any yorkie is really going to be unless both parents are really small, and you know for a fact they are the parents. Some yorkies have hearty appetites and tend to put on weight easily. As in humans, being overweight can cause health problems in yorkies. If you pick a yorkie that's prone to packing on pounds, you'll need to limit treats, make sure your baby gets enough exercise, and measure out your yorkies daily kibble in regular meals rather than leaving food out all the time. | Just because the parents are small doesn't mean the puppy's will be it depends on there lines and genetics. Also a puppy can not be fat and overweight.
