how big will buttercup get (Yorkie) Hello everybody I have a 12 week old yorkie who is 3 pounds even I want to know about how big will she be full grown....oh and I dont understand how to calculate it on that chart....Thanks |
Welcome to YT!! :) |
She will probably be about 6 lbs |
Do you have a Yorkie around that size and if so do you have any photos....:animal-pa |
I think the general rule of thumb is to double the 12 week weight to get an idea of the adult weight, so Buttercup would be about 6 pounds which I think is a nice size... :) |
Welcome to yt, would love to see a pic of your baby:) |
I would say 6-8 lbs. How big are parents? |
Around 6 lbs but you can't guarantee anything. I have one that was 3 lbs at 8 weeks, and now at 9 months is only 5.5 lbs. Then I have another who only 1 lb at 8 weeks and is 5 lbs at 1 1/2 years old. |
Lacy was slightly over 3lbs at 12 weeks of age. She is now 7.5lbs |
Im guessing 7lbs . Still a small dog. |

My vet told me to take Riley's weight at 4 months which was 4 lbs 7 oz and double it...so he will be around 9 pounds most likely...the breeder had guessed him to be around 5 so I guess she may have been wrong...thats ok though because I don't mind a dog a little bigger...easier to catch! :D |
Six pounds like a good guess to me. Piper's 6 lbs. and he's just right. |
2 Attachment(s) The general rule is triple the weight at 8 weeks, double the weight at 12 weeks. But, as a few others have said...it is not always accuracte. At 12 weeks of age my gracie was just under 3 lbs, now at one year old she is just 3lbs 4oz. :confused: and I should say she is healthy and round, her bone structure just didn't get much bigger. :p Here is a pic of her back then and now...you can see her "size" didn't change much... For example, MyFairLacy's weight was just over 3lbs., my girl Gracie was just under 3lbs. and their adult weight is verry different from eachothers, 7 1/2lbs compared to 3 1/4 lbs. I should also say that I used the double the weight at 12 weeks mehod, to choose my Gracie and did not get what I had expected. But I love her just as much :p |
