He eats like there is no tomorrow, is free fed dry kibble and is not fat If you look at him in person, you'd beg to differ and claim he is like 2 lbs.........

On the other hand, I met another yorkie owner at the petstore the other day with a girl that was a lot taller, longer and bigger than him and weighed 3 lbs soaking wet. I don't go by weight at all.........because it can be so decieving in this breed

Very interesting! By the way you baby is gorgeous.

I guess I should phrase it better. Can a yorkie puppy of 16 weeks with paws half the size of a human thumbprint grow to be a 10 lb adult?

This isn't about my girl as I don't care what weight she gets, I love her for who she is. It's all just curiousity! I just find it so interesting that general consensus is that a yorkie's adult weight can not be determined. Although, I have seen and met some breeders who say what I mentioned before; it depends on the thickness of the bones, the amount of excess skin and fat and the size of the features for an estimated weight to be determined.
