Everyone with larger yorkie are their bodies bigger too? Max has been humiliated!

How old is he? The way to tell if a dog is over weight is to remember you should be able to feel the ribs but not see them, in a yorkie's case, you have to wait till bath time because of the hair. There is a difference between being a bigger yorkie and a fat little butterball of a yorkie. LOL.
