The rule of thumb way to ESTIMATE you puppys' adult weight is to double the weight at 12 weeks of age. As always that is just an estimate as it also has to do with the size of the parents, grandparents...and on down the line. At 6 months a yorkie puppy is usually about done growing in size, but will continue to fill out......I would guess that your puppy will top off in the 6lb range.
I agree, you love them no matter what size. I have four yorkies ranging from 3 1/2 lbs to 12 lbs and I love them all the same!
