Seems like the runts always turn out to be the biggest.
My cat had kittens and the tiniest little runt turned out to be a whopping 23- pound cat. Everyone said he was "as big as a dog." So we changed his name to "Dog." I lost him at 14 years of age last year.
We all know for sure that Yorkie weights vary beyond belief.
Probably the best indicator is the size of their parents - but there are certainly exceptions to that also.
And - big Yorkies are still "little dogs," and they are still the love of your life.
You can't lose - no matter what they weigh.

PS: I was hoping I'd get a little dog also, but I think mine isn't going to be real small. I don't even know what he weighs, but I think about 4 1/2 or 5 pounds at three months. They did tell me that he would probably be between 5 and 10 pounds. So he may well weigh around 10 pounds when he's full grown. I can guarantee I wouldn't trade him for a million dollars and have only had him about three weeks. |
