Sometimes how "fat" a yorkie looks depends on her cut. For example, some people keep their yorkie in a puppy cut but others like to trim the sides in layers, so they have a look of longer hair but not the problems. This type of cut gives a leaner look in pictures. I have one that looks fatter because her hair is wavy and more coarse but I have one that looks very lean because her hair is silky fine. So, I try to feel their rib cages to get an idea of how they are on their weight. Chloe has a huge appetite and will swipe from Lacey's food bowl, so I have to watch her, she'd be a tubby.
