| "Taken" on a "Teacup" Well, I am a brand new Yorkie Mom. And, I am one of those people who paid extra, for a "Teacup" Yorkie. A LOT EXTRA. Yeah, yeah, I know. I should have done my homework. But, she was just so cute! Anyway, here's my question: How big do you think she'll be, when she's full grown? She was 2lbs at 3 months. And, is now 3lbs at 4 months. I was told she'd top-out at 3lbs. So, that's already turned out to be incorrect. I'll adore her at any size. But, I am purchasing things for her and don't want to be too far off on my size guesses. So... what does everyone think? Are there charts on this? Supposedly, her mom was 4lbs and her dad was 3lbs. That's all I know. Can anyone offer an educated guess on the weight my little sweetie will reach at adulthood? And, at what age do they reach their full weight and size? Thanks ahead of time, for your help. |

| I've always been told yorkies grow until around 6 months and then may get taller/longer until a year. I've found that Bailey reached the size he is now about a month ago and he hasn't grown any more since. Of course all yorkies are different, some may have growth spurts, some may stop early. There's really no way you can tell. |

| Probably about 4lbs...they usually say to double the weight at 12 weeks..although Maximus was 2.1 lbs at 11-12 weeks and he is now 5lbs at almost 6 months....but I would probably say about 4-4.5 lbs

Just an idea. |

| Hi and welcome to YT. I am by no means an expert on size, but, you will probably end up with the standard yorkie weight - maybe not the full 7 lbs, but closer to 5-6 lbs. Keep in mind that they are said to stop growing at 7 months. With this said, 5 lbs is still pretty small. My guy is 5 1/2 months and not even 3 lbs yet and it's almost too small! You will love the little scruffer whatever weight he end up at. |

| Welcome to you and your little bundle of joy! It souds like you were mislead about her size. But I'm sure you'll love her whether she's 2 lbs or 100 lbs. It sounds like she will be about 5-7 lbs full grown (but I could be wrong because I'm not a breeder). I got my Katie when she was 5 months old and she weighed 14 ounces. Now she is full grown and weighs 2.6 lbs.

| My Katia isn't 3 pounds yet and she will be 4 months next week. I think you may have paid extra for nothing. You have a regular sized yorkie, but that actually works out better for you. So although you may have paid extra at least you will have a healthy dog.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I agree that someone mislead you on the weight - your puppy probably WILL be under or around 5 lbs...which is a VERY good weight ...If I were you - I wouldn't buy too much till she stops growing UNLESS you are OK with her growing out of something in a month or 2 - Cheri grew till about 10 months ...she's just 5 lbs...but they fill out up to 2 years ... I'm sure your baby is just adorable - I'd love to see her - it's a shame people are banking on that word Teacup to make extra money. |

| Welcome to YT! And congratulations with your little darling It doesn't have to be an intentional scam! My no. 2 yorkie had a 6pound mother and a 1,5pound father. We expected her to be 4,8pounds, but she is now 6 months and weighs 2,8pounds and I am afraid she won't grow anymore. The breeder tells us that her sister is now close to 4pounds. You just can't tell! I weighed her at 13 weeks and she was 2,4pounds, so I figured she would grow to be 4,8...but nooooo, no....*sigh* We love her anyway of course! And I am sick with worry that she will die getting her teeth pulled or something...she is so fragile. So you should feel blessed that yours is not a "teacup" after all
