My girl stopped growing taller/longer when she was about 5-5 1/2 lbs and now she's really filling in though still skinny for the most part. Currently at 6.4 lbs, we still get comments on how she still has a "puppy face" and even get asked if she's a "teacup" from those who don't own yorkies but are thinking about it and also from one who has a 14 lb yorkie at home. Maybe they think that because they only see the top half of her during these times when we're actually sitting inside somewhere or walking through a place and have her either in our arms or with her head sticking out of her carrier.
And then we've also gotten the "She's not pure, is she?" and I respond with, "You mean because she's a little longer and leggier?" and she responds with, "I've never seen yorkies with that colouring before." Apparently, she's only seen them in black and tan. This came from a cashier working at Petcetera (a chain store much like PetSmart, Petco, etc.). She thinks mine must be a Silky.
Usually, the yorkies I run into on walks are smaller and older than my girl. I do notice the difference from when I first got her at 4lbs, she felt light as a feather to carry without my back/shoulder (when using a bag) or arms hurting. I am a very physically unfit person.
And now she's gotten to be a little heavy to carry for longer than a couple of blocks without breaking a sweat. So instead of carrying her the entire way home now after she has a huge barking fit during a walk, I carry her for maybe 2 minutes then let her back down again to "start over".
