My little guy is about 8 1/2 or 9 pounds (watch me get him weighed - and he weighs even more!)
Anyway - I was prepared. His mother weighed 13 pounds and his father weighed 4 1/2 pounds - go figure!
I was told that he would be between 5 and 10 pounds - which he is.
I can't believe it - but my Yorkie at 8 1/2 pounds is still a very tiny little dog. I am thrilled to death with his weight. He can get on and off any furniture with no problems whatsoever. I never have to worry about "stepping on him," and he plays well with other dogs and children and isn't a constant worry.
Again - he seems "tiny" to me. He has a slight build with fluffy, wavy, silky hair.
I wanted a small dog because I have a bad back and wanted one that I could carry and bathe easily. Well this little guy is perfect for me. It is like lifting "nothing" when I pick him up.
He's about 9 months old - I suspect he's pretty much through growing - but then, who knows!
