Willow is our first yorkie so I didn't have any idea how big she would get, her parents were both under 5 lbs. We had an appointment to get her spayed but she ended up going into heat and we had to wait 4 more months, she just was spayed on Tuesday and she weighs 12 lbs and turned one year old the last of February. I love my big girl, I don't worry as much when we have company over because she is not dainty. We feed her Royal Canin since she was tiny and I would rather her be exactly as she is
