I'm in shock!!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hello!

Just a little update on my Pboy's health and a little question about other Yorkies. I took Pboy to the vet and she told me he was doing OK so far. He got some blood test done and also some extra tests to see if he had something else.

He also got some medication and some extra TCL.

But the shock was when they check Swee'Pea, she is only 15 weeks old and she already weights 9 pounds!!!

and the Vet told me she was going to be bigger than Pboy ( he is 11.6 pnds)...Does some one has a yorkie as big as mine?

I always thought this little things were supposed to be "little" and what a surprise!!!

They used to breed yorkies to be much bigger(mine is 14 lbs), there are still throw backs..and I have one of them.
But, at that age of yours she was still pretty normal in size, at a year she was 7 lbs now, at almost 5 she's right at 14 lbs..you're going to have bigger yorkies, more to love

I am glad to hear this. I got my Yorkie at 5mos. and he weighed 8lbs. He is now almost 7 mos. and weighs 10.5lbs. When I walk him people remark at him being big for a Yorkie, so I thought maybe he has somthing else in him. I began to research and found out about Silkies. He looks exactly like a Yorkie only he is built very solid and seems to be a little long for the standard. No matter what he is smart, loving and perfect. We have a 10 year old lab and a 1 year old cat and they all get along great. Also, I ran into a lady with 2 Yorkies. The mom weighed 5lbs. and her son weighed 14lbs. Go figure.

This is Swee'Pea...my giant baby...I guess I'll have to change her name 'cause she isn't a pea size anymore

Well, that's all right. You'll just have a yorkie that is not only a lap dog, but a guard dog, too!

I just saw the pic you posted. She's adorable!
