Two of my dogs were 8 weeks old when I got them. One weighed 2.2 lbs and the other 2.6. The 2.2 lb dog grew up to weigh 6.5 lbs and the 2.6 lb dog weighs 9.5 lbs. My 10 week old weighed 3 lbs and he's 10.5 lbs as an adult. My guess is a 1 lb yorkie at 8 weeks old will be under 10 lbs as an adult. Despite two of my dogs puppy mill beginnings, they are 12 years old now and wonderful dogs. One is very healthy with some minor old age issues but the other has had many problems due to poor breeding. If you are not up for the potential long term costs of this breed, I would look into pet insurance.
