I bought my first show potential Yorkie in 15 years last year. She weighed in at 1.6 oz at 9 weeks old. She is now 4.8 lbs at 11 mos. Some grow very slowly. She also had her first heat at 6 months!!! She has not stopped growing yet either. This is slow growing line for sure. My second is 4.4 lbs at 5 months old. She's lost all of her front teeth already on bottom and top. This one I HOPE is done growing soon, but I fear not. I pray she'll stop by 5.5 lbs. Again, breeder says the line grows VERY fast. I have wittnessed both extremes so far. I showed Yorkies 15 years ago for about 10 years. While my experience 'lately' is limited and much has changed over the years, All I can say is they are ALL VERY different. Growth, Breaking patterns, Personalities, Trainability, etc...
Shop hard, and don't stop until you have what your eye is looking for! There will always be another litter if it's not exactly what you want. Study the standard and watch some videos of Yorkie Specialties. I went all the way to Texas, St. Louis, Chicago and Arizona to find what I was looking for. Finally I found her. And yet...she's still only a potential
Best wishes!!!
