As already stated here the official Yorkie standard says to 7lbs. Meaning the Yorkie should not be more than 7lbs. People who show their dogs try to aim at breeding dogs that stay within the standard but they can occasionally have pups that may be a few pounds smaller or larger.
Most people who want a Yorkie tend to be looking for a smaller sized dog. It's always a good idea to check out the parents and the parents ancestry when looking for a purebred pup, especially if things like buying a dog that looks somewhat like the breed standard are important to you.
A two month old 5lb Yorkie pup is probably going to be a pretty good size. My girl would be considered large by some standards and it took her aaround 15 months to reach 5lbs. There are people who breed off standard dogs and with those there is just no telling what you will end up with. There are people here on YT that have Yorkies that are over 20lbs....but that is not the norm.
Usually a Yorkie is a great pet at any size. A larger Yorkie can make a good family dog. Did the parents of your pup have ears that were up or down? |
