3lb baby Hi all, I am considering buying a yorkie pup that is 3lbs at 9 weeks of age. Did anyone on here get a pup that size at that age? If you did could you please tell me about what size they are grown up? I would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks meeshue |
The rule of thumb is to take the 8 week weight and triple it. That will give you an estimate of the full-grown weight. Or, you can take the 12 week weight and double it. 9 weeks is pretty young, I would wait until 10-12 weeks. I'm guessing the full-grown weight to be about 8-9 lbs. Do you know anything about the parents? |
I got Lulu at 8 weeks and she was 2 lbs. now she is 5 months old and a little over 4 lbs. they predict that she will be 6-7 lbs. hope that helps. |

When I saw Tink I just had to have her, was worried about having her so tiny and so young, but I guess I have done ok with her. The weight is not fat at all, she is just a healthy size! Her sister who was twice the size of her at 8 weeks is now smaller than her.....strange.:confused: |
I would bet this pup will turn out to be 9 or 10 lb. |
Thank you all for the great advise. My husband has me on a strick budget for this pup. I quess for what I want to pay it will be hard finding one within the standards. I would have liked one that would be in the 5-6lb range but I find it almost impossible to get one in my price range. Well anyway I am in no hurry and I will keep looking for the right one. Again thanks to everyone who responded. You Guys are Great! meeshue |

The growth chart is basically a guideline to go by, but it isn't completely accurate. Jake was 1 lb. 10 oz. at 10 weeks, and he is now 4 1/2 lbs. full grown. Jackson was a little over 2 lbs. at 10 weeks, and he is 9 mos. old now and 6 1/2 lbs. It's really hard to predict. Good luck with your decision! |
