Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Oops, I stand corrected. You are right, I just looked on the AKC website and it does say 4-7 lbs. I swear I've seen it say 3 somewhere though. But hey, didn't you say Milu is 11 months old? She might still put on some weight as she "fills out"....maybe.

| Wow I don't mean to be confrontational but just because she said "teacup" holy smokes did that open a huge can of worms. Could just have said there is no such animal just a smaller adult yorkie. She was just wondering what they look like full grown. I think she gets that they just look like little yiorkies or maybe a puppy. But my goodness why do we need to see all the facts about standards. we know we know !! Sorry if I get upset but lets just stick to the question without all the other blubber.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | lol i love the last post! But its good.. these posts have helped a lot. If its true that there is no such thing as a teacup and this is something i should be looking at out for, then it is a good thing Its strange that i have heard the reference to teacup so much though... .. i would love to hear everyone's opinions on this.

Further down on the same page the standard says officially "not to exceed seven lbs." A three lb yorkie that meets the rest of the standard is a standard Yorkie. This is the reason the term teacup doesn't apply. It's ok to discuss this in the same innocent way that the term was used by the OP.

| lol, i used to call them teacup dogs when i didn't know. but now i know it's not the right term to use, so i have stopped saying that, but people still always ask me if milu is 'teacup' and i never know if i should go through the trouble to say: "there is no such thing, blah blah blah, it's bad for health if bred for small size only, blah blah blah." people don't usually appreciate the 'education' i think

| Chloe is almost 11 months , so I'm not sure if she is full grown or not , but she has been the same 2.5 lbs. since around 5 months old , so I am guessing she wont get much bigger. Since you already know about the "no teacup" rule we will just call her little Don't mind her "bed head" in the first photo , she is not much on having her picture taken

Yorkie Talker | Full grown tea cup yorkie This was actually going to be my first question as well. I am new to the yorkie talk.com. I have just gotten my First yorkie puppy. The owner said that her established Weight will be around 3lbs. |

| You asked a good and common question! Yorkies are considered Toys and are shown in the AKC Toy category. My Cali is considered a small Yorkie - she is 6 years old and weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces. Mind you, she thinks she is a BIG dog - which is a common Yorkie attitude despite their size.

| The AKC standard states "not to exceed 7 pounds". While there is no low end to that statement, a 0.1 lb dog would still fall under that guideline, while I hope it never comes to that! https://www.akc.org/breeds/yorkshire...d_standard.cfm There is no official classification of teacup in yorkies. People get confused bc dogs such as poodles have "standard", "mini", and "toy". Not yorkies. They all all in the "toy" group. Take note in the AKC standard to the deviation in coloring as well. A lot of breeders will charge more for an off color, which is considered a fault, and say it is rare. Do not be duped!
