I have seen the yorkie growth chart (which says she should be 6 lbs fully grown) but the breeder said since she was so tiny at birth and even at 5 weeks that she should end up around 4 lbs. If anyone is able to help me figure out a general idea of how big she would be it would be much appreciated!  |
Try not to worry about the size so much as her personality and if it is what you are looking for. Be aware that the breeder should not be using such terms as "teacup" "toy" or the sickly "micro mini" - these are not part of the breed standard, where the weight should be no more than 7 pounds for a Yorkshire Terrier.
Also be weary of how small she will be as it is a lot more work and worry. They say my girl will be 3-4 pounds and I am hoping for 4 or more, I want her to be as healthy as possible!
