I bought Dora, and she weighed 1 pound 3 ounces. Now she is almost 4 months old, and she weighs around 2 pounds - 2 1/2 pounds.

I PRAY she gets to be a "bigger yorkie". Other than the fact that I think bigger yorkies are SO adorable, I have a chihuahua that weighs barely 2 pounds, and he might even be a little less than two pounds! And he is an adult.

It is SO hard to keep a smaller dog safe.. You worry about everything from jumping off the couch, to stepping on them, to not being able to let them play/wrestle with other dogs. I would NEVER EVER suggest a tiny (1-2 pound) dog to anyone. Hypoglycemia is also a HUGE factor.

I am sure you will love yours either way! And I dont think their is any way to determine how big one will get, until they are grown
