| Question About Growth Okay here is another dumb question. When did your Yorkie's growth start to slow down? Chloe is 18 weeks today and has really started to slow down on growing. Now I don't mean when did they completely stop growing because I know that growth continues for a while, but I know one of my friend's yorkies plateaued at about 6 months - he kinda stopped growing height wise and stayed at around 4lbs - however after neutering at 7 years old he shot to 7.5 lbs. |

| Eva slowed between 6 and 8 months. She hasn't changed much since then.

| Thank you. I know that it is different with toy breed dogs and my past experience was with English Bulldogs who continue to grow until at least 2 years. Chloe has slowed - she had a growth spurt in size at around 14 weeks and now has stayed pretty constant. Her weight really hasn't changed much - just gradual changes, but I think the most rapid weight gain is when they are very young. We brought her home at around 1 lbs, 13 oz at 12 weeks and she is now about 2 lbs, 6 oz at 18 weeks. |
