When I bought her the guy told me she would be about 4lbs..but who knows...LOL I wouldnt be mad if I had a chunky monkey...
Yeah I was told that too.. .. Tuckers parents are 4 pounds. Tucker at almost 5 months is 5 pounds. His estimated adult weight will probably be between 6 and 8 pounds. He hasnt gained anything in a month or so, but Ive heard they can have late growing spurts.
TO to the OP its hard to tell how big they will be. The charts from what Ive seen are mostly wrong, but it can give you an "estimate" of her adult weight. You cant go by the breeder (most of the time) or by the size of the parents because your pup could have the genes of its great granparents that may have been bigger. You could triple thier weight at 8 weeks or double it at 12 weeks but again that is just an estimate. So pretty much you will have to just wait and see. A 6 to 8 pound dog is still small, and if she turns out to be a bigger yorkie you can always join the teapot club.
