| I so do not believe in the weight charts.. I have never known anyone that it worked out for them.. As you see from posts.. it is hard to really tell.. some get a large puppy and then it does not grow.. I sold a female two years ago.. she was so fat.. weighed 6 oz at birth.. and yet she ended up to be the same size pretty much as my gracie that I kept.. and gracie weighed just over 2 oz and had to be tube fed every two hours night and day for two weeks.. so I personally find it really hard to figure out.. Mara was 1.5 pounds at 3 weeks.. triple that and she would be 4.5 pounds and she is 6 pounds at one year old.. but she is really long.. no fat what so ever.. I would watch the threads on here also.. many times there are yorkies on here and the price is not that bad.. some times a yorkie is young and needs to be rehomed.. and is posted on YT....anne |

| I am getting a yorkie from a breeder recommended on this site. She has some less expensive puppies currently on her web site nataliesyorkies.com. She was very nice when I spoke to her on the phone and others from yorkietalk have her dogs. |

| Thanks all for the wonderful advise. It just goes to show that there is no way to really tell what size they will be. I will go see her on Sunday, but I will not be hasty in my decision. I will see the parents and go from there. I will not take her just to say I have a yorkie! Again I want to thank everyone. Yorkie Talkers ROCK. meeshue |

| My neighbors got their Yorkie at 11 or 12 weeks and he was 3 or 3 1/2 lbs and he's now a little over a year and weighs 14lbs! You never really know though!

| I was wondering how big Suzi will be full grown too. I got her at 9 weeks old, and she went to the vet at going on 10 weeks. She is a plucky 3.5 lbs . This seems on the big side to me for a Yorkie. However, she is more stalky then "fat" She is very healthy, playful, and full of life . Suzi is starting to change color on the top of her head. I can see it coming in, the bluish, gray. At what age do they start growin into their natural hair color? IS it different for every pup? I am thinking Suzi will around the 9lb range if she keeps up with the predicted weight pattern . I guess she is going to be over the weight limit for a Yorkie. As long as she is healthy I do not care. |
