Short Legs on a Yorkie Puppy- Defect or Normal?? I am looking at getting a Yorkie puppy who appears to be healthy and has a good temperament, but his legs are really short and his body is very compact and squared off. Are the short legs a cause for concern or a possible defect? |
Good Question. My Krissie has little short legs. She is so funny. She is 4lbs 4 ounces. I have a Maltese that is 7 lbs 10 ounces with much longer legs. Krissie can jump onto our bed from the floor and Ollie (my malt) cannot! It is so funny. She is full of GUSTO!!! |
I don't think it is cause for concern.....square and compact are good! Except, of course if it is to the extreme.....just like anything else! Good luck, would love to see pics! |
Square, compact with short legs...sounds like a cutie:) |
You've just described an ideal in yorkie shapes...a cobby body. :) |
Thank you guys for the reassurances:), I really want this little guy and just wanted to make sure he was okay. I'll upload pictures once I get him... end of Oct, beginning of Nov...:aimeeyork |
Sometimes when I look at Mocha, her front legs seem to be shorter than her back legs :confused: I don't know if it's just my eyes or what. Otherwise she seems normal. Very active, she does great jumps :D |
Wall-E has stumpy short legs, a hefty chest, and a long body. The other day when I gave him a bath I told my husband he could almost pass for a daschund! I guess all yorkies are different. |
