Just how big can a Yorkie get? Just how big can a yorkie get? I was told by the breeder that my puppy's daddy was 6.5 lbs and her mommy was 9 lbs. The breeder told me my puppy would be around 6-8 lbs. She just turned 6 months old today and she weighs 7lbs. Anyone out there that can tell me if they had a puppy like this? I love her and wouldn't trade her for anything but I am thinking she will weigh 12 lbs by the time she is full grown. :( What do you think? |
I could be way off but I wouldn't say she would get much bigger, not more than a pound or maybe two. Paula:p Halle:aimeeyork Brutis:aimeeyork |
My Mya is almost 8 months and still growing! The last time I weighed her was a few weeks ago and she was 8.8lbs, so I am almost positive she is over 9 now! I LOVE that she is huge, i make fun of her all the time :) She satisfies my love for having a substantial sized dog (I am a big dog lover at heart) but still retains the convenience of having a little dog! Please no sad face, it's great that she's so big! Think about how less you have to worry about her getting hurt by jumping off a couch or something or playing with other doggies :) There are positives about it, I would love Mya no matter how big or teeny she was :) |
I'm guessing that her growth will slow way down now that she has hit 6 months and probably be 9 pounds. I have a bigger one and she is such a nice armful. she is the only one that I can actually hug and I love her to pieces. |
Lola was only 4 lb at 7 months and then had a growth spurt. She grew until a year old and ended up at 9 lbs. I can still carry her around. My family is happy she is not too scrawny. morrislaz |
my dog's closer to 10 lbs but not quite 10 lbs. 9.5 or something.... ive seen yorkies that are 10+lbs but they're still all adorable~ mickey's step sister casey was 10 lbs when she was 6 months she was a fatty but adorable i dont know how much she weighs now |
I have read that growth does slow considerably after 6 months. It's really hard to say for sure just how big a pup will get, but you can look at the parents size and go plus or minus a couple of pounds. ~Kathy:animal-pa |
Thank you all for replying. My poodle that I lost 2 years ago weighed 9 lbs and I wanted Kinsey to be around there in weight. She does so remind me of my poodle with her actions. I love her so! Thanks again. |
My Keegan is 12# of burning LOVE!!! Boo (aka Clarence) is 6.5# of "who the hell do you think you are talking to???" |
I think you have to look at previous litters of the dam/sire to help estimate when the potential growth spurt will occur. I've seen some puppies have a growth spurt very young, then slow down or stop at around 6mths. Some may start out very small and have a growth spurt after the 6mth mark. |
Puppy weights aren't soley determined by the parents...gentically that can go back 3 generations. Unless the breeder knows the animals in her lines...any thing about weight is a "guess". Between 6 - 8 months...they usually fill out some. I agree she'll probably weigh 9 pounds. |
jackson is only a little over 12 weeks and weighs a little over 6 pounds! lol. i'm happy actually, i didn't want a dog very fragile and two pounds, just my personal preference. i'm hoping he grows to be 10 pounds or more. his parents were said to have been 8 pounds (father) and 7 pounds (mother) |
My oldest one is close to 15 lbs, and the baby(biewer) is staying at 2 pounds for the last month and she's almost 7 mos |
Hi! 1 Attachment(s) Chloe is 10 weeks and already weights about 3 pounds. I love her dearly. They said she will be about 7 pounds as an adult. I read that by the time there 12 weeks u multiply the weight times 2 and that's how much they will weight. I'm not worried about it, I think regarless if she's 7 pounds or 12 the love I have for her won't ever change. :aimeeyork Some people tend to want smaller dogs, but I feel like too many accidents can happend, besides 7 or 20 pounds are nothing, a Yorkie is a Yorkie.. Chloe's momma:p |
Our Annabella is 7 1/2 mos and is about 7 lbs. We just got Luca who is 14 weeks and he weighs 4 lbs. His mom is 4 lbs and his dad is 3.5. The only way Luca will weigh 4 lbs full grown is if we plug him up..... LOL. I love the 6-8 lb or so, or bigger,. They are not as easy to step on and we are older folks. |
