Can someone let me know how much her average weight may be once she is older if right now she is 2 months old and weights 2.8-2.9lbs..(her mom weight about 9-10lbs, and dad 4-5lbs).
Also i was reading someone else's post and they mentioned that there yorkie has floppy ears... my yorkie has floppy ears also, i have no intenstion of making them pointy i think she looks soooo cute with floppy ears. are all yorkies born with floppy ears and then it's just up to the individual whether they want them point or floppy?
Generally you can figure double the weight on a 13 week old puppy, for yours I would guestimate she will be around 7-8 lbs, but 8 week weights aren't as accurate. As for ears, keep them shaved all the way down on back, front and sides and get them in tape if they don't start coming up right away. Good luck.
