I have 6 Yorkee's and my Vet told me with my oldest 2 to keep food out @ all times for them until they are a year old...(I was worried with keeping food out @ all times for them that they would get fat....My Vet said NO it's after a year that they do that.) Tiffanie & Teddy is 1 & 1/2 now and they are happy, fit Yorkee's...Tiffanie is 10 lbs 4 ozs.(Not due to eating to much, she is just a bigger Yorkee) and has NO extra fat on her) Teddy is 6 lbs 7.2 ozs and healthy and has NO extra fat on him. Now @ their age, they let me know when they are hungry...Usually when we eat our meals they eat theirs...Altho Teddy HATEs his food bowl empty...I keep it full @ all times for him or he's bangin' the bowl & barking all the time...But they don't eat on it all day long just when we eat. Our puppies are almost 11 weeks old and are healthy...I keep puppy food out for them ALL day long & will do so until they are a year old. I'm no expert here on the weight but my babies weigh: I just posted this on 7/17/06 : My babies were 10 weeks and 3days old yesterday and I weighed them and this is their weights: #1. Male: 2 lbs. 11.4 oz. #2. Male: 3 lbs. 4.6 oz. #3. Female: 3 lbs. 2.6 oz. #4. Female: 2 lbs. 13.8 oz.s. Hope this helps U some?? Hugs, Lee & Babies |
