| I don't think she's too big, she could just be on the bigger side Doesn't mean she's overweight. As for treats, I just kept getting different kinds until I found what he liked best, right now I'm using the not so healthy Pupperoni stuff lol just to get through his training time and healthier treats for other stuff |

| No Yorkie is ever the wrong size lol. They come in all sizes and all are adorable. A lot depends on their parents and past generations sizes.

| Hee hee! Think you've got a little teapot in the making.... Harry was 10lbs at 12 weeks, but there's not an ounce of fat on him, just loads of bouncing baby boy to love (and not squash!!! ). As for treats, our Harry's never been a great treat lover, but he would do anything for tiny pieces of chicken, cheese, green beans, carrots or de-seeded, skinned apple. Enjoy every minute!

| Puppies can't be over weight but if you are worried ask your vet what he thinks. Callie likes blue buffalo treats and cheerios. The best treats are the ones made is the USA not China.

| I would say that your Cici is going to be a larger size Yorkie. She is already half the size of the standard. That is not to say she is not a great pet. She is just not going to be in the usual 4 to 7lb range. There are Yokie owners here that have dogs ranging from 2lbs to 20lbs. They are all wonderful pets if cared for properly. Puppies do not get over weight so don't restrict her food intake. |

| I think she might just end up being in the 7lb weight and that isn't big at all for a Yorkie. Pao was 5lbs at 12 weeks old and he ended up being 10lbs full grown. Everyone says he is a big Yorkie but I think he is just the right size for me.
