| Puppys weight What happened to the standard way to figure your puppys weight they were 3 1/2 lbs at 12 weeks old and now at 11 mo. Old they weigh 12 and 14 lbs, cann't always go buy that, we are looking at another puppy now what weighs 2 1/2 lbs at 10 weeks old and are scared to buy it, mom and dad weigh 5 and 7 lbs |

| Yorkie breeders site: AKC Yorkshire Terrier breeder exhibitor of yorkie puppies - Yorkiepassion has a chart on their site. It's only a guide. Breeders I've spoken to have said that you triple what the 12 week weight is. In the past they use to double it, but I've spoken to a few that say they like to triple the weight to be safe. Everything is a guide but quite a lot depend on the lines etc. And, just because the parents were tiny does not always mean the babies will be small and same goes fo larger parents. The only way to guarantee a size is to get an older pup. I would look for one that is around 9 months old and then add maybe a pound or two to the weight that pup is at. Elaine |

| To be honest there is no sure fire way to be able to guess how much a puppy will weigh once it's full grown, and while you can estimate by parent's weight and current weight every puppy is different so it's anything but an exact science. Here is a link to a yorkie growth chart, I hope it helps. =) Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Puppy Growth/Weight Chart - watch us grow |
