My last yorkie was 5lb. ZoE's breeder said she would be on the upper limit at 6-7lbs. Well, she just kept growing! Shes an ounce shy of 10lbs. Not fat, a very fit, lithe pup, but she is big. To me, shes heavy to carry around for long periods of time, and popping her in a purse to run in a store kills my shoulder and has me looking for a cart/trolley immediately.
I'm used to her size now. She's almost 4 years old. And while she is sturdy and fit, in all honesty, there are times I wish she was a bit smaller, like my last yorkie.
A breeders estimate on adult size, is there best educated guess based on experience and knowing their lines, but it is a guess. So be prepared should he exceed expectations.
