Weight isn't the whole issue though. Archie and Willie actually weigh almost the same - 3 lbs 5 ozs and 3 lbs 2 ozs at 5 months, but Willie looks much smaller. He has a smaller body and shorter legs. People are surprised when I tell them how close they are in weight.
When I got them at 12 weeks, Archie was 2 lbs 7 ozs and Willie was 2 lbs 2 ozs. They seemed to grow a lot at first but have slowed down lately.
I'm hoping they end up on the larger side though -- at least 6 lbs. I guess that unlike most people, we were looking for larger Yorkies when we were breeder shopping.
Won't really matter what they weigh as adults so long as they are happy and healthy. |
