Excellent picture comparing the 7 to 3 pound one. There's not much of a difference.
I just noticed how many posts in total I have...it's kind of sad but some people have been members for a shorter period of time and already have more posts that I do. I guess I'll need to fix that.

I don't have a picture at the moment to share but will try to take some tomorrow evening to show you size differences. Bella is 2lbs 10 oz (might be a little more now, I have to weigh her) at 21 weeks old. She is very small IMO and I hope that we can get her up to at least 4lbs full grown. I was chuckling a bit cause my cat is WAY bigger then her, i'll have to take a picture of the 2 next to each other. She is smaller then my labs heads.

Rockie is 6 months and weigh 5 pounds. My daughter says he is big, I say so what. She thinks there are such things as tea cups and toys furbabies. I keep telling her thats just a advertisement ploy for money. I am satisfied with his weight.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh but you guys!!!!! Natalie went to the vet for her follow-up today and she GAINED ANOTHER WHOLE OUNCE!!!! YAYYYYYY!!!!

So that makes her 24 OUNCES now!!!!! A WHOLE pound and a half!!! I couldn't be happier!!!! If she keeps up at this rate of an ounce a week, I may have a "teapot" on my hands!!! LOL

Okay, back to this.... Natalie is 6 and a half months old and, as you see from my rant above.... she is a pound and a half.... I'm PRAYING that she'll hit 4 lbs one day, but her vet says she'll probably never make it to 2 lbs. <grrrr>

Here she is!

(for reference, the envelope is 8" wide by 7" tall and she's standing up .... )

oh my...what a precious little one! want to mail her to me?

Maggie is so cute! your little girl is adorable!

It might not look like a difference, but there really is when you hold them etcetera.

My Marcel is 2.12 pounds and Wylie is almost 8 pounds. I've traveled w/ both and it is MUCH easier w/ Marcel, obviously. I love Marcel's size - but I was so worried he wouldn't make it past 2 pounds - I still hope he makes it to 3 pounds.

And, btw, "tinier" doesn't mean guaranteed health problems - you can have an unhealthy 8 pounder and a totally healthy 2 pounder, and vice versa. Tinier DOES guarantee that you have additional "cautions" you must take (ie, a fall from a couch can be fatal etc. - that's another subject).

If you do want a smaller yorkie, just please DO NOT buy from someone who breeds for "tinies". Rather, you want to find a good, quality breeder who has a litter where there happened to be a little one. Tinies like that usually are much more healthy than "bred for" tinies.

Phoebe is 5 lbs and I think she is tiny...actually, Carson is 5 lbs too. Phoebe seems smaller to me, as she is slightly shorter in height and length. They are very easy to carry around.

good luck!

Here's mine. The first one is Sugar who is three pounds. The second is Gracie, 9 lbs, Spike 4 lbs, and Sugar. There really isn't a huge difference just to looke at them but Gracie seems way sturdier. Sugar takes a lot more care than the other two and seems way more fragile.

With the exception of Sebastian all mine are kind of small.

[zoeybear]

This is Zoeybear. She is Just under 5lbs. About 4lbs 12oz. She is lying next to a 19" monitor. I think she is the perfect size.

[hha]

zoey bear, did you keep track of her weight chart? If so, how much did she weigh at 12 weeks? That's about the size I am hoping Ginger gets too..

[Patti]

My 2 are 3 1/2 lbs and 5 lbs. They look similar in size as Pixie the smaller one has long legs and Cali has a longer back so even by weight there an be a 5lb er that looks as small as a 3 1/2 lber.

I don't necessarily agree with this (and I'm no expert, just giving my opinion). Tina was a runt of a litter (3 lbs at 2 years old), and that means that she was starved and neglected in the womb, and was just lucky enough and coddled enough to make it. And all of her health problems have stemmed from being a runt. I think it is best to find a smaller (NEVER smaller than 4 lbs!!) set of parents that are having a two or three pup litter. Tbone was in a litter of 2 and is 4.5 lbs full grown. He is pretty dang healthy and was a very healthy pup. I would assume that like humans, younger mothers have smaller babies, and then their pups can be larger after having a few litters.

JMHO, and in no way a hostile argument against you, Wylie's Mom, because I MARCEL AND WOULD TRADE ANYTIME!! (ok maybe not trade but babysit!!!)
