Okay - you experts - tell me what you think.

My not-so-little guy weighs 4 lbs at 15 weeks. I know no one can know for sure, but what are your educated guesses as to what his adult weight might be.

I was told that he will probably weigh between 5 and 10 pounds - which makes me think that one of his parents was probably not real small.

I wasn't looking for a tiny little Yorkie - because at my house his best friend will be (and already is) a 21-pound Bichon. However, after seeing them together, I have learned (since he is only 4 pounds now) that a 4 or 5 pound Yorkie can certainly hold his own with a larger dog. When they quit playing, both dogs are both exhausted.

Thanks for any "guesses." Carol Jean
