A Yorkies bone structure might be nearly finished at 6-10 months. That does not mean it is an adult and ready for adult food. I, personally, have not seen any except the very tiniest, stop growing before a year. Now, no matter if their bones structure has slowed down, they have to mature in other areas. Compare a pic of a 70 pound human child who is only 7 years old. Think about the same weight but on a 12 y.o human. There is a huge difference in the mature body and the younger child. Same with dogs.
If a breeder says a puppy will be full grown at 6 months, ask why do we double the 3 month weight to guesstimate the adult weight. Why wouldn't we just say "Oh, wait til 6 months and you wil know exactly how big your baby will be cause it is full grown then"? |
