A good rule of thumb is if you can feel their ribs easily (but not SEE them), they are in good shape.

Jackson is a bigger boy at 18/19lbs give or take. I try to keep him lean if I can. I got him DNA tested and he came back 100% pure Yorkie. Just goes to show you what happens when "breeders" aren't paying attention to breed standards etc.
