| Need to compare with your Help My pup she is named Bikini and she is 16 weeks. She weight 3.2 pounds or 1.45 kilo .... Did anyone had a pup around that weight at 16 weeks? How big did they grow? Also, I would love for someone who has a more than one Yorkie to put a picture and tell me the weight.... I would love to see the difference... I am just curious... I love my Bikini a lot and no matter what size she is, She will remain the best! Also, she stinks a little ... should I wash her once a week or every 2 weeks? Is there a trick for the smell Thanks |

| Oatmeal shampoo is really good, and you can bathe her once a week.

| I had never heard of this. Where do you get it?? The vet said to bathe only once a week because of dry skin. Wil this shampoo prevent that.

| I shampoo with minksheen and condition with Pantene. I love the smell of the Minksheen. Here is a link http://www.touchofmink.com/prod_details.asp?id=15

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hmmm, well - if her 12 week weight was, say, around 2.5 - 2.75 lbs - then her adult weight will probably be between 5-6 pounds. As for bathing, I think a dog's "smell" sort of determines how often to bathe. Some are a little more stinky than others. Luckily, it's a cute stink!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Mine was very close to that weight at 15 weeks. He's 11 months old now and weighs close to 6 pounds. And he'd prefer to be stinky himself.

| I think Zoe was 3 lbs 4 ounces at 16 weeks. She is now 7 months and weights 4.5 lbs. Her growth has slowed down alot in the last month or two. She has not gained at all in the last month. Although you have to remember that yorkies are like all of us, some grow at different rates than others. If you do a google search for "yorkie growth chart" you will find some charts that you can go by. Zoe followed those to the letter so it says she will be about 5.25 lbs. We shall see. Also, I bathe Zoe about every 4-5 days but I don't think I've ever gone more than 10 days. I've used minksheen but honestly the best results I've had were with pantene human shampoo but I'm still trying to find a better one since I read that pantene is not the best for yorkies or people. Good luck! |

| I bathe Lacy once a week. Lacy was about 3.2lbs at 12 weeks and is now 7lbs so yours should be smaller - proabably 5-5.5lbs

| Mindy weighed 3 lbs at 12 weeks and 4 lbs at 18 weeks. I don't think she has put on any weight since. If she has not much. She has really slowed down.
