Hello,

I am new to this site.

How many times a day should a Yorkie be fed? I tried feeding them once in the morning and once in the evening around 6:00 p.m. The problem the male goes by his dog dish around lunch time and screams bloody murder for food.

I give him a little food to pacify him. Then, at the evening meal he doesn't eat and then at l0:00 p.m., hes whining again for the rest of his food. Each dog gets approximately 1 cup per day (they don't always eat the entire amount). The only problem with this is they want to get up in the middle of the night to eliminate. I'm at my whits end. You would think I was starving him to hear him carry on at night. Should I let him whine till the morning?

The male is 2 years old weighs 11 lbs. The female is 2 1/2 and weighs 7 lbs.

Do male dogs whine more?

Thanks for any advise
