I don't think there is an average weight for a puppy.
That would depend on the size of the mother and father and even
that would not really determine what a puppy's size will be, just
approx. Sometime they grow way bigger than expected too.
Your puppy sounds small but I'm far from an expert.
I was told if you take the puppy's weight at three months, double it and
add 1lb that will give you a close approx weight.
To give you a chuckle, Buddy was 6.5 lbs at 14 1/2 wks big for a Yorkie,
today he's 15lbs. Yours sounds perfect.
A standard Yorkie, per AKC, is 7lbs and under. Yours fits that bill.
Congratulations and good luck.
Post some pictures of your little guy when you can.
We love pictures. |
