I am talking with a lady about a 4 month old yorkie. The mother weighs 6 lbs. and the daddy weighs 3 lbs. Is there any way to determine approximately what this little girl's weight will be? HELP!

How big is the little girl now? at 4 mos. you should be able to get a pretty good idea just from her. Although, not always. Just from the parents weights it seems she would be somewhere in between, but you never know, there could have been a much larger one in their background.

Not with complete accuracy, I'm afraid. Plus, even with knowing the weight of the dam and sire, the dogs further back in the line come into play to when determining size.
