| Teapot Yorkie owners... do you dress up your teapot babies? Just curious as I tend to see mostly the babies that are smaller all dressed up. If you have any pics of your teapots all dressed up, I'd love to see them. I'm going to be ordering my first harness dress for Sophie soon. She's only 5.5 lbs now, but she's still got growing to do. |

| How old is your Sophie? Our little one was 4.6 pounds at 13 weeks. She is 14 1/2 weeks and close to 5 pounds, I'm sure. And, yes, we dress her up. That's part of the fun in owning a Yorkie, IMO. I need to take some new pictures and post them. |

| Sophie will be 19 weeks on Monday. I just weighed her yesterday and she was exactly 5lbs 8 oz. Now, Chewy (her brother, same age, same litter) weighed 6lbs. 7 oz! He's a chunk! But he's built much bigger than Sophie is. If they continue to grow like they have been for the first 4.5 months of thier lives, I figure Sophie to be at least 7.5-8 lbs & Chewy to be 9-10 lbs. But that's just my estimate. Their mom and dad were both on the larger side (I'd guess around 7-9 lbs). |

| Bear is 24 weeks and only 3lbs 10oz... based on this do you think he'll stay pretty small? I love dressing him in "manly" outfits (at least thats all daddy will allow) He has his jerseys and hooded sweatshirts and sweaters (pics in an album on my profile). I think it would be fun to get a girl and have her wear little dresses.

| My Teapot is Boo and DH is pretty adamant...no clothes. I'll put bandana's on him tho. I think DH is scared I'll buy him and Boo matching shirts to wear.

| How do you weigh your pups. I could never get Millie to stay on the scales long enough!

| Petsmart has scales, I've used them before. But usually I just have one of the tech's at the vet's office weigh whoever I have with me when I drop off cookies.

| Weigh yourself and then weigh yourself holding your furbaby. The difference is your furbaby!

| Hi, I have a little girl who is 22 weeks old today and she weighs exactly 2lbs. She wears, at least, a bow everyday. She also wears cute shirts and jackets. I'm not big on the dresses...or maybe I just haven't found the right one. Today she wore a pink shirt that has a big pink bow with white polkadots on it and tulle that kind of look like angel wings and a bow in her hair that matched. I thought she was adorable! I did get her a super cute harness and leash but she has not worn them yet. I weigh her with kitchen scales (non-digital) and at the vets they use a digital scale. I see all these weights people are giving...any guess on how big my girl might get? She seems smaller than the Yorkies mentioned. When do they stop growing? Thanks, |

| Tea cups Tea cups do not wiegh more than 3lbs as adults. Sophie will be healthier and more resiliant than a tea cup she sounds wonderful! |

| Corrine Parrott's post makes me think teacups and teapots are not the same thing? I'm new so I don't really know all the lingo. If a teapot is not a smaller sized Yorkie then what does it mean? Forgive the newbie!!! |

| YorkieMom- teapots are what we call our "larger than standard" yorkies. It's not a technical term, just a cute nickname...I actually never heard about it until I joined here. About weighing my pups, I use my digital postal scale that I have. It's tricky to get them to stay still long enought, but it gives a very accurate weight. |

| Sammy my Teapot Papillion weighs 15 + pounds. He wears clothes just like his 7 lb. Yorkie Brother Baron does. They both get new collars @ the same time too.

| Jackson sounds too funny! I doubt if Chewy would wear anything either...but I'd love to at least try a cute little harness vest on him. DH agreed to either a camo one or a Tennessee Vols one. I want to wait until he's a little older & hopefully through growing! He's gonna be a big boy! I just placed my order for Sophie's ruffled name harness from a fellow YT'er. It'll be her first "outfit". I can't wait to share pics when we get it! I just hope she likes to wear it...she doesn't mind wearing a bow, so hopefully she'll do fine. Chewy's the one that rips her bow out of her hair! I am glad to see other teapots wearing clothes, though. I was beginning to feel a little out of place... I love the fact that my babies are going to be "big" and I still want to dress them up; well at least dress Sophie up...the only clothes DH said Chewy could wear is either the harness mentioned above or a Vols t-shirt this football season. |
