Snickers is 10.5 lbs at 1 yr. I think at 5 months he was 7.5 lbs. I never followed the growth chart because his weight was off the chart
. I will always have large yorkies. I am a big dog person at heart and was given a yorkie as a gift after saying that I wanted another dog for my 90 lb boxer to play with but I wanted the dog to be smaller than my boxer. Why my hubby thought a yorkie was a good idea, I don't know. But I have to say that Snickers has grown to be a great dog and I will always have a small and big dog. My boxer just loves him and they play great together.
