| Sounds like a normal/healthy size to me. Puppies should be six pounds or less.

| Here is a growth chart that will be able to help you better estimate what size they will be as adults. Its not always correct but a good guideline. Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Puppy Growth/Weight Chart - watch us grow

| Your puppies growth and weight is very dependent on the ancestery of your dam and sire. If you speak with the best yorkie breeders in the country, the ones that have been breeding their lines for years will not even predict. They can make an educated guess because they know their lines, but they will never guarantee.
