| Size at 6 months? How much bigger did your yorkie get after 6 months? I have been tracking Lady"s weight on a yorkie weight calculator since 10 weeks and she has stayed on target to be less then 5 lbs but I'm just curious others experience how much more they grew after 6 months. |

| Growth differs from one pup to the next. My boys are full brothers from different litters and had growth spurts late: 11 months. It is in their genes. They grew in spurts from the time they were pups. Usually Yorkies are full grown by about 8 months, length and height. They develop muscle into their second year which will add to overall weight.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Roxy had about 3 growing spurts after she was 6 months. About the time I'd think she was done growing, she'd grow some more. She topped out at 10 lbs... which is twice what I thought I wanted her to be. Turns out I love her 10 lb size. You just never know for sure in advance.

| I'm just curious as I had no size expectations. I have smaller kids so I was originally thinking bigger = sturdier but I love her petite size lol! |

| My Barney weighed around 4.5 pounds at that age. At almost 2 he is just under 6 pounds. His height didn't change but he's a little longer now.

| Cali was about 2-3lbs at that age. At 1 year she is around 4lbs, and her vet says she doesn't expect her to get any bigger but who knows.

| Baxter was 2.3 pounds at 6 months, now he's 4 years old and a healthy 2.9 pounds. I think it mostly just depends on genetics. |

While its harder on my shoulder to pop her in a purse and sneak her places, I just love her size for snuggling with. She is such a warm lil snugglebug in winter.

| Dex is exactly 7lbs (just weighed him) at 6 1/2 months and I expect he'll probably put on a couple more pounds before he's done. He's gotten quite leggy in the past couple of months and he's bound to grow into that. heheh...more of a teapot dawg here than a dainty little thing! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Yorkies are considered full grown at 6-8 mths, but may have growth spurts around 10mths...and may fill in during the first couple years...that's been my experience w/ my 3.

| Mine filled in some more after a year. They definitely got bigger after 6 months, but were mostly done growing at 8 months and just filled in more after that.
