The general rule of thumb (which I think doesn't work more than it does) is to double the weight at 12 weeks of age. You say she weiged 4 lbs at 12 weeks? (3 months?) How much does she weigh now at 16 weeks/4 months?
If I ventured a guess with none of these answers, I'd say that Daisy will end up being around 7ish pounds (perhaps closer to 7.5 lbs) once done growing. I think that's a great size!!  |
I just re-read my post and I hope someone will pop in here and correct me if I'm wrong. Is it double or triple the 12 weeks weight?
Anyway, I still think 4 lbs can never be too big. I'd much rather have a sturdier Yorkie if at all possible. Too small and it scares me to death for their safety and health, ya know?
