Yorkie Growth and Clothing Question - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hello Everyone! So my little Sunny is my first yorkie and I have a question for everyone. About what age did your pups reach their full size/weight? I live in a colder climate and I'm already on my second coat for her due to growth. I've been waiting to but her any sweaters/fleeces until she's about her full size so that she won't outgrow them all. She's now 6 months old. Do you think it's safe to start buying her more clothing or is there another growth spurt on the way? What's your experience been?

I would wait until eight months. Of course then as she ages it is up to you to keep her weight consistent

It varies by dog. Fabian's nearly two years old and none of the stuff we bought him last year when he was one year old fits this year. He's lean, but very long and muscular. Vet says he's just a larger than average Yorkie (at 10 pounds) at the correct weight for his size. We buy at off-price places like TJ Maxx, so the price hit isn't too bad and donate the outgrown clothing.

Mine all reached body size by 7 or 8 months but they still filled out a little after a year.

I agree about 8 months Emma
