i used to hear that you can usually judge from the size of the parents, and i've also heard that you can judge from the size of the father BUT i read on a YorkieTalk thread not too long ago that the GENETICS from up to 10 GENERATIONS BACK can have a determining factor in a yorkies appearance . . .
http://yorkietalk.com/forums/showthr...ht=generations "I agree with CC's post...even tho the parents are silky coated the puppies might not be. I was told that our yorkie brings genetical information from at least 10 generations before...so even tho i do believe the parents can give you an idea of what the puppy will look like...it is not a rule!"

if the 10 generation genetics rule applies than i guess you can't really tell exactly what size your yorkie will be until they are fully grown??!??
