1lb 6oz...
 
Hi.

I know somewhere there is a table to reference the weight of your Yorkie to see how big he or she may be full grown.. I just can't find it:rolleyes:.

Any help out there? My new baby was seen by the vet yesterday (she is still with the breeder until the 24th) and she weighed in at 1lb 4oz at 8 weeks old. (she was born October 19th).:D

Any idea what she could possibly weigh full grown?:confused:

Thanks!! Jillian

You'd multiply that by 3 and there is his approximate wait. Double it at 3months old.

Here you go:

ToyBreedWeightChart

But remember...these charts aren't always accurate.

tumismom 12-17-2008 06:45 AM
here is a chart that i found..but you can't really go by the chart either. when we got my baby Tumi, i was told by the breeder and also according to the chart she will be between 5-6lb. But she never grew beyond 3.5lb and she is almost 2yr old. :rolleyes:
Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Puppy Growth/Weight Chart - watch us grow

chachi 12-17-2008 06:47 AM
She will be about 4 lbs

phfgkl 12-17-2008 06:47 AM
3 1/2 to 4 lbs. although, a lot of times, they're right on, sometimes they're off by a few pounds. I have one that was way off, the other ones were pretty much accurate with the charts

adorame 12-17-2008 06:50 AM
The chart can be found at Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Puppy Growth/Weight Chart - watch us grow. her being 1 pound 4 ounces puts her at 20 ounces, so going with the chart she looks to be going with 3.5 to 4 pounds full grown.

Jilliebeanz96 12-17-2008 07:00 AM
Thanks everyone!! I am guessing from the chart and the average answer my new baby girly will be around 4lbs to 4.5lbs.

But should I be worried about my Alfie getting her?? Alfie is about 9lbs... Do any of you have more than one Yorkie or experience with having two, one very little, one big and how they handle each other?

My husband is worried as I am that Alfie may hurt her while playing?? Any suggestions? I am guessing at 4lbs she will be more sturdy but 1 to 2lbs makes me nervous. :(

I have a 14 lb yorkie and one that is 1 1/2 lbs. actually the big one is very protective of the little one

Yep! I got Marcel when he was 4mths old and 1lb. 4oz. - and my Wylie (adult) is about 6.5 lbs - BIG difference. While we were gone during the day, I kept them gated off from each other, bc Wylie could easily hurt him without meaning to. We were also *very* careful when we were all on the sofa together bc a fall from there for Marcel could've killed him (we have stairs for the sofa and our bed, for him). Once he became more sturdy and they learned how to play together safely, we no longer gated them separately. Marcel's adult weight is 3.3 lbs - so he's still small, but they do just great together!

Jilliebeanz96 12-17-2008 07:17 AM
Alfie is very protective of his toys so I was thinking he may not like sharing and even be a little jealous. With other dogs (and all have been bigger than him) he lays down and gives them the floor, never aggresive at all. I hope he is more protective like she is his little baby more than anything...

My husband and I never crated Alfie, but we may do with Evie just to keep them seperate at night, during the day my husband is home to watch the two of them together, but I have been looking into purchasing a gate to split the room just until she is bigger and Alfie can be trusted.

As far as the couch and bed, I was worried about that too, Alfie can jump up onto anything and down from as well... We always say he must be part Cat..LOL :rolleyes: But with our new little one, she will need help - I am going to look into buying some stairs, but do you think she may take after Alfie and try to jump off things?

For "gates", we use those white shelves you usually see in California Closets, do you know what I mean? We buy the long ones, and Wylie cannot jump over them - and they're easy to prop up. We got them at Home Depot or Lowes.

Marcel does *not* follow Wylie in jumping off the bed or sofa - he somehow learned/knows his height limits and always uses his little stairs. I got the $10 stairs at Walgreens. :)

New Baby
 
Hi Jillian,

Might sound crazy but what we used for both Willow & Jake (at night) when they first came home was a "Co-sleeper"....used for infants...you may even have one!:D We didn't keep it attached to the bed but set it up next to the bed. We actually kept the pup in the lower zippered part (vented) with a tiny cat bed, blanket, pee pad, little bowl of water and kibble. That way one of us was right there if they cried. Even though we have stairs to the bed, they are too little at that age to climb them and we wanted them close by. If Alfie sleeps with you now, he will see that Evie has her own place to sleep, he won't feel "pushed aside"....and believe me, the time will come when Evie will let you know that she is a big girl too and the Co-sleeper will be put away...which reminds me...if you think you could use it, let me know.....:)

I love your way of think'n Wiley's Mom... i'ma head out the door to Home Depot to grab some of the Calif. shelves...smiles ... BTW u gett'n flooded out yet like we are here on the coast??? eno. is eno. with the rain already!!!! hehehe

No flooding yet (knock on formica desk)!!! I hear you are getting a ton of rain! Of course, when it rains here in the desert, it's kind of exciting - everyone is all talking about it and excited that it's "grey" outside, lol! :p

I love those shelves - we use the white coated-wire ones (like this, but long and deep), so they can still see through them, but the wires are maybe an inch apart - so they work great.

Jilliebeanz96 12-17-2008 04:35 PM
Rain sounds so much better than the mess we have here.. good old New England... Slushie Hail, Snow, Rain!! Phfftt Yucky.

I really like this idea... I am going to go to Home Depot this weekend and look around. It will be perfect for us as we have a small apartment but a very big living room that extends into our dinning room area.... cornering off a place for our little Miss will work out great. :)

Thanks for all the advice!

Thanks!! Jillian
My baby was 1.6 when I got her at 10 weeks. I have been keeping close track of her weight each week. She is now 18 weeks old and weighs 2 pounds. According to the weight chart others have shown you how to find by now (no doubt!), my baby should be about 3 pounds full grown. Our pups sound like they will be the same size.

Jilliebeanz96 12-18-2008 05:50 AM
What did you use to weigh her each week... I want to buy a scale to see how she does. Her mom and dad are both small, but the sister and brother of the litter seem to be double her. I am hoping she grows to 4lbs, but either way she will be out little love bug. :p

It just seems so scary that she is so small... and Alfie will tower over her. :(

I myself, would get a baby scale, I think they're the most accurate

when my babies were younger, i bought a postal scale (it weighs in pounds and ounces, so it will read Xlb Yoz) .... it came in handy! i wanted to make sure they were gaining weight on a weekly basis....i bought mine on ebay and it weighs up to 35 lbs...i think it was around $20 :)

Jilliebeanz96 12-18-2008 06:06 AM
LOL... good thing I work at the Post Office... (not where they sell stamps though)... I will have to take a trip and see if they have them for sale in the lobby.

Thank you both for the advise, I will have to switch her food over slowly as well to match what Alfie eats and I am guessing this may cause some gaining issues. (I may not start the switch for a few weeks though to keep her eating steady until she is a little bigger).

LOL i have thought about sneaking my kids into the PO and weighing them on the do-it-yourself postage machine to make sure mine at home was calibrated correctly! i bet you can get a good deal if you are an employee :D

Jilliebeanz96 12-18-2008 06:11 AM
The Goverment has no employee incentive... :( LOL

But using that APC machine is a good idea... ahahahaa

MyDuke 12-18-2008 07:08 PM
I got Duke at 7 weeks (now knowing better that was too young) and 1.6lb. He is now 14months and at around 5.5lb-6lbs. That's the size of his parents as well; although I heard the liter runt is now almost 10lbs so maybe the owner over feed him.

Jilliebeanz96 12-19-2008 05:12 AM
10lbs?? :eek: That's like my Alfie he is a big 9lbs and still growing and he was the smallest... not sure what we did>>LOL

I am getting more excited every day that the 24th gets closer... its a really big deal for me to be bringing our little Evie home finally. I actually contact the breeder and purchased first pick of the litter befor they were even conceived... LOL :rolleyes:

I live about half a mile away from her vet. They happily weigh her whenever I ask because they love to hold her!!:p
