| Can you remember when your yorkie reached their full height? I know there is alot of discussion on this site about yorkie's growth spurt and weight gain. I was wondering when did your yorkie reach their height? I have heard by 6 months they are fully grown then they fill out. But nothing about yorkies run normal so I was just wondering. My Oni is 5 1/2 months old and still short legged. He is solid like a rock and stocky. Prob will be over 7 pounds but was just wondering if he is suddenly going to grow legs like he did pounds. I am just trying to prepare myself for this gift unfolding before me. I cannot imagine him filling out anymore, he is so solid and bulky now. He is not overweight at all. I have some pictures to give you a idea of his structure. |

| I personally do not think that a time can be set for the first year for them to stop growing, although i find that most of the time mine have their height & structure at about 6 months but do gain in weight a bit your little one is so cute and most likely will continue to have short legs but that is what makes him such a cutie Betty & Micah my love |

| I know exactly what you mean. Paisley is also 5 1/2 months, and it seems like she is all legs right now. LOL. I wonder how much longer they are going to get. When is Oni's birthday? Paisley's was 12/17. It does seem odd how different every yorkie is. Preston is almost 2 now. We got him when he was 5 1/2 months and he was all round and in proportion, and I thought that he was probably close to as big as he was going to get. Boy was I wrong! He was 7 lbs. at 5 1/2 months and runs between 13-14lbs now. His body seems long, but as you said about Oni, he is all muscle and as stocky as they come. We knew he was going to be big because we got him from a rescue due to being "too big to be sold" but didn't expect him to be quite that big. Not that it is a problem, we love him just the way he is. Here are some pics of Paisley in all of her long legged glory!

| Snickers has not grown since he was about 6.5-7 months old. The only thing changing about him now is his hair color. He was 3.3 lbs at 6 months and now 5 months later....3.3lbs, sometimes 3lbs and sometimes 3.5lbs. Our little squirt! Snick & Viv

| Yes, I think it all depends. For example Teddy was born on June 6 2005. He was 4lbs. when we bought him in August 2005. He was about full grown by Thanksgiving, 9lbs. He has been 9lbs ever since! Our puppy Pippo was born December 23 2008. We bought him at the end of February at 1.5lbs. He just last week reached 3lbs. So if I had to guess around 6 months is about where they may stay. A friend of ours has an older yorkie that is around 6lbs and very stocky! As far as the legs growing longer, Im not sure.

YT 2000 Club Member | My "little" guy at almost 9 months is a stocky, cobby solid 9 pounds and about 7/8 inches tall. He hasnt gotten any taller since about the 6 month mark, but he has filled out. At his 4 months check up/neutering he was 5 pounds. So it took another 4 months or so for him to gain the other 4. He gained super fast as pup. He was went from 2.5 pounds to 5 pounds in 6 weeks. He is the same height as his father but out weighs his mom and dad by 5 pounds. lol. I wouldnt think your pup would get much taller but he will probably fill out more.

| I was just wondering that. Laddy is 7 and a half months old and 7 and a half inches tall and looks all legs. Lolita is 7 inches and looks lots shorter but Laddy still has a lot of puppy coat and Lolita at 5 years old has full coat. I really think they will look a lot alike when he gets his mature coat. Lolita weighs 4lbs and Laddy 3.6.

| I've heard that too that until about 6-7 months they grow up, then they fill out... Your boy is soo cute!! My Momo is very stocky (cobby) too & he's got those darn cute short little legs that can't move fast enough for him!
