I have a toy Yorkie, would the small ball be an appropriate size for this breed?

I would follow the manufacture recommendation. I purchased the large for my Lab and it is the BEST ball for her. Indestructible!

The ball I have would be way too big and heavy for a toy Yorkie. Good luck finding the right one!

Yes. This will be fine for a yorkie or even two. My Maltese is 5 pounds and has plenty of room.

This is the smaller size. And yes it would be appropriate for that size dog.

Should not be a problem. I have 2 small Yorkies and I use it on them with no problem.

I have a german short hair a shih tzu and 2 cats. All their collars have the same receivers and work with in the same ranges. The shih tzu is wesring the small dog collar and is 10 pounds. I don't think her collar would go small enough to fit like a yorkie. The cat collar has the same receiver and does expand from cat size to it would fit the shih tzu. For a five pound dog i'd go with the cat collar,

We have a Doberman,he can pick it up with his teeth,a smaller dog would need a smaller size.The ball is firm so they can not destroy .

No, it would be perfect. And IF it is too big, it comes with a divider that you can adjust to make it the perfect size for your Yorkie. I've used it with my Maltese since she was 2IB and now she's 5IB and she loves it because she gets to stretch out when she sleeps.

i have a 61 lb pit bull. a large size kong is really a bit too small for him. xlarge is better. don't know about different size balls but i'd imagine they'd be roughly the same.

We got the 10 inch ball for our 50 pound dog. There are some scratch marks around the recessed plug but it is still in great shape. This ball I think would be a good size, it is to big to fit into his mouth.

This size (medium) is approximately the same size as a tennis ball. I'm thinking that with a spaniel, it might run a little big. The smaller one is larger than a golf ball, so that might be a more appropriate size. But, If he/she like playing with tennis balls...

It's about 3 inches in diameter. I gave it to a neighbor who has a collie mix. He LOVES it! Hard enough plastic so it doesn't get destroyed by chewing on it. . .provided it's not a pit bull! ;-) Too big for my yorkie though. That's more info than you asked for but hope it helps with your decision.

My 7 1/2 pound Pom fits with plenty of room. If your yorkies are small they should be fine. My dog loves to go on walks or runs with me. Love this stroller!

I have a different type of food now so I can't look to give a size comparison, but my yorkie didn't have a problem with the size. I don't think it's specifically made for small dogs like some foods are.

This ball would be great for both of your dogs' sizes (this ball is as big if not bigger than a soccer ball) - but I would actually say it has to do with the shape of their snout/nose/ jaw if they could grip it to carry it around or fetch. My dog was about 17kg, too and he loved it but he chewed it apart. My 20 pound beagle/dachshund loved it and could carry it around just fine - more of the beagle mouth than dachshund.

Lisa, The small should be able to work for your Yorkie as it is recommended for pets weighing 5-25 lbs.

Not sure either. But my smallish 50-pound Aussie is able to pick the larger one up with her mouth. (Not necessarily a good thing, since she's supposed to roll it around.) So the larger on would probably work. Fwiw, my dog loves this toy.

I would get small for a pup that is no older than 6 or 8 months. Medium for older dogs so that the grooves on the ball don't become too accessible for the dog to rip it apart. The balls are pretty sturdy but not indestructible. The whistling rubber design is so that the dog can detect which direction the ball is flying. The balls won't last much longer than tennis balls if the dog is allowed to chew on them. Good luck.
