| fat baby My little 4 week old single fat boy weighs in at 1lb and 15 oz..when he was csectioned out,he weighed 5.5oz, I can't figure out the chart because nothing is that big,lol, I guess thats why we call him "rotty" he looks more like a rotty than a yorkie..does anyone know how big he might get, dad is 5 lbs mom is 4 and a half lbs,any ides for the experts..vet said he will be about the same as the parents, but I have heard other stories about huge yorkies,,any guesses |

4 wks is still too young to tell. He may appear big at first because he has all that milk to himself. It's a wild guess at this point. He has so much changing to do yet. Would love to see pics! Irene | |

| At 8 weeks you triple the weight and twelve weeks you double the weight and that gives you an approximate weight. 4 weeks is too young to tell.

| I'm willing to bet my Yorkie will be the biggest yet. I took him to the vet at 14 weeks and he weighed 4 pounds (couldn't believe that - he seemed bigger to me). But anyway I think he has gotten a lot bigger over the few weeks since then. It will be interesting to see what he weighs when we go back. One reason I think my Yorkie will be large is because he is one mean lean Yorkie machine. He doesn't appear to have much fat - so he won't be losing any of that. I was told that he will weigh between 5 and 10 pounds (makes me think that one of his parents was big.....) I wrote to the breeder - and ask for his parent's weight - pictures, etc. Hope I hear from her. I didn't want a tiny Yorkie, but I didn't want a springer spanial either! Time will tell!!!
