|  Will he be a big Yorkie? My Yorkie is now eight weeks old. He weighs two pounds already!!! Is this abnormal for his age? How big do you guys think he will get? I was really surprised when the vet weighed him ... I thought she had made a mistake or something, lol. Do any of you guys have big Yorkies? I looked at the growth chart, but I think I must have misunderstood it, because it said full grown he should weigh six or seven pounds, but that just doesn't sound right to me! -Amy

| At eight weeks you triple the weight. He should be around 6 pounds. But with genetics you never know! But it is not anormal for this age. Your yorkie is perfectly yorkie!

| I'm guessing about 6 lbs., if you multiply the 8 week weight by 3. My little Jake weighed 1 lb. 10 oz. at 10 weeks and is 4 1/2 lbs. full grown. Jackson was a little over 2 lbs. at 10 weeks and is 6 1/2 lbs. at 9 mos. 2 lbs. is a nice healthy weight for an 8 week old yorkie.

|  I have Rocky 6years/6lbs and Rosie almost 2 and is 7lbs. Then I have Raindrop 17 wks/4days old and weighs 1lb. 11oz. Now I think a 6-7 lb is small. Raindrop will be really small. I worry a lot about her. |

Take the 12 week weight and double it. That's usually the rule of thumb, but it's just an estimate.
