I have two yorkie puppies; Duncan is 6 months old and Little Miss Elliot is 4 months old. Every time I take them to the vet they have gained even more weight. Duncan was 8.1 lbs at 4 months old and yesterday he was 10.1 lbs. (wow!) Little Miss Elliot was only 2 lbs when I got her and now she is 4.6 lbs! Duncan's parents were both 6 lbs. and Elliot's parents were also.

Reading most of your posts on the forums, it seems as though your puppies are very small and barely weigh anything. I know a few of you have bigger yorkies and it seems as though Duncan is going to be a "teapot".

Am I feeding them too much or are they just going to be big yorkies? They both are gaining 1/2 lb. every two weeks.

About what age do they finally stop gaining weight or at least slow down? And when do they stop getting taller/longer?
