If you go to the AKC website you'll see that there is no such thing as a teacup yorkie. There is only a standard yorkie which is up to 7 lbs.

How old is she? She does seem small.

My Ozzy was 2lbs 8oz at 10 weeks when I got him. He is 5 1/2 months now and weighs just under 4 lbs...I think he will end up right in the middle of the breed standard around 5- 5 1/2 lbs.

Welcome. Cali was 1 lb at 10 weeks and now at 3 years is 5.5 lbs so your baby may be anywhere from 4 lbs and up.

How old is he? There is no such thing as a "teacup". Yorkies are a toy breed, and the standard weight is up to 7 lbs.

I brought Jake home at 10 weeks, and he was 1 1lb., 10 oz. He is full grown now at 4 1/2 lbs.

Welcome.

We got Brylie (girl) at 1.94 pounds at 8 weeks old. Today she is 3 months old and 2.7 pounds. Vet figures she'll be 4.5 to 5 pounds full grown.

Itsy was 2.3 lbs when I got her at 8 weeks. She is now almost 5 lbs at 15 wks, so your puppy could do some growing!

Default no such thing

as a tcup, but so many people think so. The AKC standard says "below 7 pounds". As long as you love your dog, size does not matter.
