| How big will my yorkie get? I just bought a 13 week old male Yorkie and he weighs 4.5 pounds. I was wondering if he will get any bigger and when do Yorkies stop growing? Thanks! |

| Normally, you double the 12 week weight, and that is what the full-grown weight will be. That isn't always how it goes, however. |

| first off, Welcome to YT!!! My guess is that's he'll be a bit of a bigger boy.. unless he decides to stop growing.. generally they stop growing at about 7 months. there is a sticky on here with a growth chart

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | It sounds to me like you will have a nice sturdy 7-8 lb boy. Of course, it does vary from dog to dog, so nothing is set in stone.

| Lacy was a little over 3lbs at 12 weeks and is 8lbs full grown. Your baby will most likely be 9-12lbs full grown since he is already 4.5lbs at 13 weeks.

| I was curious about the chart and growth as well. My any is 22 Weeks today and he weighs 2.8 Lbs. so if i in by the chart he will only grow about a half pound when he is full grown. that sure is a slow rate of growth! i only got him a few weeks ago and his breeder told me he is pretty much done growing which didn't make sense to me. in your opinion, which is more accurate, his breeder or the chart? I don't care he he grows to 100 lbs, but am really curious. thanks, sarah
