| Some advice? Im a newbie 😊 I am pretty new to being a momma of the yorkie breed. I've recently gotten a little yorkie boy , Nicko, who is now turning 4 months. I got him from a lady who had a lot of yorkies and couldnt keep him. I was concerned for his health seeing that she had docked his tail herself and his mom seemed very small. When i got him at 3 months the vet recorded that he weighed 2lbs and now at almost 4 months weighs 2.8lbs. Im not used to the breed and wanted to know , how big do you think he will be? I would prefer he be a good size and not too small like his mom... But ofcourse ill always love him. Any advice would be great! Thank you! |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. A general way of predicting adult size is to double the weight at 12 weeks and sometimes add a pound. Share some photos of Nicko.

| It's really just a guessing game the only way to can be sure is to wait it out. A lot of breeders will dock there own tails. You still might want to look into pet insurance and make sure it covers genetic illnesses.

Are you using an iPad or iPhone? I think other people have said they have difficulty posting more than one photo in a single post when using these devices.

| I love him. He is absolutely adorable. No idea how big he will be but it is what it is. There is no way that baby doesn't already have your wrapped around his finger so just pamper him and enjoy the ride. |
