| Fully Grown? At what age do yorkies reach their full growth? I was always told that my boxers would be fully grown or well as big as they will get at one year. Is that the same with yorkies? Someone I know told me they stop growing at 6 months..is that correct? Thanks!! |

Senior Yorkie Talker | mine stopped growth at 6 month age. I had one girl york before and her weight stayed still at the age of 6 months. I was also that they grow differently, some at 8 months, generally before one year one, few still grow after one year old. Hard to tell then. |

| Punkin grew until about 15-18 months. She mostly seemed to lengthen in the body. |

| Ours grew until about 7-8 months, and they it was just a matter of their diet and how much weight they gained.
