If Bentley is already five pounds at nine weeks, he will probably end up being close to 15 pounds, twice the size that a Yorkie is supposed to be.

The standard calls for Yorkies to be under seven pounds, but that doesn't mean they all are. Breeders who do not carefully breed to the standard often produce super sized Yorkies.
