Hi I am new to YT and have 2 furbabies: Dexter and Gizmo, brothers who will be 8 months old tomorrow.

It seems they have just collided with adolescence, much to our shock when we thought they were well-behaved and well-trained puppies, but now seem to be little rebels. Oh well I guess we need to renew the training.

Dexter seems to be the Omega and has taken his place in our family as our little watch dog. He has turned out to be a teapot being as long as a west highland terrier. By contrast standard 7 lb Gizmo looks tiny.

Gizmo loves to run and chase balls, whilst Dexter would prefer play to rough-and-tumble. My boys surprise everyone in the park by how well socialised they are with humans and dogs of all sizes are and the fact that they follow me off-lead.

However I have noticed that Gizmo is the smallest dog in the park. I see other Yorkies who have a similar length, or are not as long as Gizmo, but yet all are taller. Both Gizmo and Dexter are longer than they are tall. Will my boys get taller as they get older?
