A super high protein kibble. Well it was only a month ago and I swear Suzi has gained a few pounds! Now could be considered a teapot. I think a lot of it is what your feeding your yorkie. Some of these toy breeds love their food, and this can contribute to their size. Suzi is a beautiful, loving, energetic yorkie . When I got her she was so little. She could fit in my hands. Now she is 3 years old , and a whole lot bigger. Their is just more to love when it comes to our larger yorkies. :)
| There are plenty of teapot Yorkies who are NOT overweight :) A "teapot" Yorkie is just a funny term for a Yorkie who is naturally larger, not overfed. Jackson is a sleek and slender and athletic 16lbs so I call him my big teapot, hehe. He is not overfed and gets plenty of exercise. He was 5lbs by the time he was 8 weeks old. |
