| Teapot club? Size Question Just a question, everyone that comes to see Laci says wow she is HUGE for a yorkie, she is 2.8 pds and 13 weeks old, is that huge? I really could careless what size she is and I know many of you have pups that are that size full grown , but is she huge? Mommy and Daddy were there when I went to see her at the breeders, they were both 5 pds. I dont care what size she is and would probally prefer that she is bigger because I know tiny ones are more prone to being hurt. |

| i don't think that is huge at all- a general rule of thumb is to double the 12 week weight which would put her right around 5 lbs. she sounds like a great size. |

| Huge? Are they nuts! Take her weight at three months and double it add 1lb to be sure. That will be her approximate weight as an adult. I think your looking at around 5-6lbs. They are all so different. She may not even grow to be more than 5lbs. Her parents were within standard. Buddy was already 6.5 lbs at 14 1/2 wks now that's huge! |

YT 2000 Club Member | Tucker was 2.5 pounds at 10 weeks and at 5.5 months old he is 5ish pounds. I dont think he is going to get much bigger, maybe another pound. His parents were both 4 pounds. I think your little one will be around 5 pounds too.

| Your baby is NOT huge. She's little. She will likely grow to be the same size as her parents...5 lbs. Which is perfect!
