| Everyone on here has told me to double the weight at about 6 months, that will be their adult weight. Hope this helps!!

well it is hard to give an exact weight but she does have at least another 7 months of growing to do ( most yorkies are full grown in height by 7 months and adult weight by 1 year but they can continue to gain weight after that ).. If i had to guess i would say your little one would be 9 to 10 pounds as adult.... | |

| There really is not 100% way to tell how big they are gonna be. I would say around a year is when they stop growing.

| My boys are full brothers and had growth spurts when they were 11 months old. All depends on genetics. Some reach full size early, others grow later.

| My guess is Blazer is going to be 8-10 pounds, but you never really know. That is still really small

YT 1000 Club Member | I agree, he'll probably double his "now" weight.
