Hi, welcome to YorkieTalk. Puppies can vary greatly on their birth size. They could be as small as two ozs or as big a 8 ozs, give or take a little. It really depends on the parent's genetics and how many are in the litter. Puppies that come from a large litter tend to be smaller in size versus litters that consist of only 1 or two puppies.
