I looked at this chart:
Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Puppy Growth/Weight Chart - watch us grow


Poppy was exactly 2lbs at 13 weeks.

Now at 23 weeks, she's 4lbs... (I suspect a little more and a lazy vet nurse doing the weighing) so I really don't think this chart is an exact science.

Her mom was six pounds, her dad was five...so I'm assuming she'll level out around there. Every time I ask our vet, I get the run-around saying not to count her as "full grown" until 1 year, although usually by 6 months, they won't grow any larger. I'm not sure how accurate this is, either.

I'd be interested in seeing experienced replies!

Tia was around that weight and she is now 5lb 5oz at 15 months but they do all grow at different rates. If you look at my album you will see she has a small frame. hope this helps.
