My question is this...at 4 months old, they said she was 3 lbs. I took her to my vet yesterday (she is now 1 week shy of 5 months old) and she is 3 lbs and 10 oz. From some threads that I have read on here, that seems pretty much "on par" for a healthy, standard sized yorkie.
Am I right? I love her whether she is small or standard, but I'm curious what you all think. At 19 weeks..is 3lbs, 10 oz about right?

I guess it depends on what you think a "tea cup" should be at full growth. It sounds to me like your pup will be within normal range for a normal Yorkie or a bit bigger. If you are counting on a 4 pounder then you are going to be disappointed. People who promise a tiny dog are dishonest from the get go.
