Because of their compact size, it’s possible for Yorkie Poos to get sufficient exercise by strolling around the block or playing around at a local park. In fact, much of their exercise needs can even be met inside the home, which is one of the reasons this breed is popular with condo and apartment dwellers.
We recommend 30 minutes of activity per day and about 6 miles of walking per week.
