Oscar's Mummy · 05-04-2006, 07:00 AM

Hi, just wondered if anyone could venture a guess as to what they think Oscar's weight might be full grown? I don't know how much he weighed when he was younger than 4 mths as I didn't get him until then. I took him to the vet at 4mths and she weighed him at 2.2lbs... HOWEVER, I took him at 6mths and we weighed him and he weighed exactlly 2.2lbs again - we both think that the vet weighed him wrong or read it wrong cause he had grown a lot in those two months. He was super tiny at 4mths (vet thought he was a lot younger than that) so I'm thinking he must have been a little over 1lb at that time...

Anywho, he's 2.2lbs now at 6mths - when does a Yorkie generally stop growing? i heard 8 months - is this accurate, or I suppose it could vary from dog to dog?

I'm asking because I want to order another Celltei carrier for him and I have a small right now, but I'm wondering if I could get away with an xtra small...the small seems so big and bulky when I carry it (LOOVE the bag though regardless).

Once again.. my apologies for the lengthy post...
