Remember that all that anyone can give you is a guesstimate on the final weight. I bought an 8 week old puppy who weighed 2.10# when I took him to the vet. At a year he weighed approximately 10#. Now nearing 2 years old he weighs 11# and a couple of ozs. I don't remember how much he weighed at 12 weeks but neither tripling his weight at 8 weeks or doubling his weight at 12 weeks came close to 11#. He is not fat in the least! He is very well muscled and a fine shaped Yorkie. I know that if his size was right for a 7# Yorkie and his ears stood and his coat would grow long, he would win championship after championship. He has a straight topline and his teeth are perfect. He has the right size muzzle for the size of his head, he holds his tail up with pride constantly. His feet and knees and hips are straight. He is a gorgeous dog, just not your standard Yorkie. Sylvia
