Pitrpat - Your Yorkie and mine appear to be about the same size.
Mine was 5 1/4 pounds at 16 weeks.... His mother was 12 pounds and his father weighed 4 1/2 pounds....go figure! (These two have had litters before - and I was told that their pups usually end up weighing about 6 pounds.)
I haven't weighed my pup since - but he is a little over 5 months old now and I'm guessing he weighs 6 to 6 1/2 pounds. I'll find out when we go to the vet next week.
My pup quickly turned silver and a light tan, has good-sized. erect ears, and is slender - he still has a puppy cut and is a very handsome little guy indeed.
I hope he doesn't get a lot bigger - I think 6 or 7 pounds is a wonderful size. He is still a very small little dog - but a good healthy size and can hold his own very well.

PS: People who haven't seen my dog since he was a tiny, fat, litte black and tan pup only a few months ago - can't believe it's the same dog. And they still think he is just adorable - which he is! |
