I didn't have Ollie until 5 months so I have no idea what he weighed at 12 weeks. The breeder couldn't "get rid" of him and he was bigger then his parents and siblings by 5 months. I love bigger yorkies and the misfits of the yorkie community so I took him. Dixie was 3 pounds at 8 weeks and is 12 pounds now a year and a half old. Joey was around 3 pounds at 9 weeks and he is 16 pounds supposed to be 15 at almost 6 years old. I didn't get Penny until 8 months but she is sitting at 15 pounds at 5 years old. Ollie is my only one with reputable papers but that doesn't really bother me I just use them as a birth certificate. |

I love your message to me and I thank u. His weight doesn't bother me. Its more I just want to show her there are differences or there are not and it doesnt mean a yorkie isn't a yorkie. Bigger or smaller, they all capture our hearts the same.😄 |
SO true....they are awesome pups no matter the size!! They are all so different in terms of size....mine range from 2.5 lb to 11 lb. I have a foster who is 14 lb. Love them all to pieces!
Flint is precious....I just saw the pic of him in the snow.
