| Does weight really tell how big it would be Like me and another person can weigh the same but I can be taller(bigger) than that person Or if that dog has more muscle, the muscle can make his weight more Last edited by wantayorkie23; 07-20-2009 at 09:05 AM. |

YT 2000 Club Member | yes, if the dog is stocky or has more muscle then the dog will weigh more. Tucker is the exact same height as my toy poodle, but he weighs twice what she does. He is 9 pounds and she is around 4. He is not fat at all, just really cobby and solid. It all depends on the parents and their parents.. etc..on how big a dog will be, a 10 pound dog is still a small dog, Tucker is only 7 inches tall, that to me is still really small.

YT Addict | Why are you so worried about how much Munchie weighs if he is healthy and happy? 10-12lbs is still a small dog, you don't have to be freaked out if Munchie keeps growing. Won't you love him anyway? You keep on complaining about this and it is rubbing me the wrong way that you just seem so focused on the way he looks. Its like you are implying that bigger yorkies are inferior or something, which is not true at all. I've seen his pictures, he is an adorable dog, so just be happy that you have such a sweetheart. Now I'm not yelling at you, or accusing you of anything, but you did put two similar threads out in two days so obviously this issue is important to you. If you are going to be happy with Munchie you need to accept that fact that all yorkies turn out differently and just stop worrying about it.

| Yep, I think that body structure can make a difference as to their weight/size and how large they appear to be. What is Munchies build like?

Donating YT 30K Club Member | My Cali weighs the most 5.5 lbs but Roxie who is 4.5 lbs looks bigger because she has really long legs. Pixie is 4 lbs but is tiny looking, she has a rounder body.
