Anyone have a yorkie this small? Every time I take Daisy to the vet for her shots the receptionist keeps saying "I haven't seen a yorkie that small". The vet says she is small but doesn't go on about it. She is 4 months old and weighs 1.4 pds. The vet says she is healthy and all her teeth look good. No heart murmurs. We also have 2 other yorkies 4mths. old they weigh 3 lbs. Daisy is very active and playful and eats good. I feed them Natural Balance. She is the boss and lets them have it when she doesn't want to play. My question is has anyone had one that small at that age. If so, how old are they and how much do they weigh now? I have pictures of Daisy in my album. |
My Oscar is nowhere near that small (he was 3 lbs when he came to live with us at 8 weeks and now weighs a whopping 11 lbs), but I know it is totally possible. Most likely she was the runt of the litter or the child of two runts. Now that the smaller the dog the more popular they are, more breeders are trying to breed smaller breeds even smaller. Would you post a pic? I would love to see her, I bet she's adorable! |
Wow! That's really small. Bet she's cute. |
My Myah was about 1.5 lbs when we got her at 3 months old. She is the runt of the litter...the rest were all bigger brothers. She is 16 months old now and is about 3lbs. and a few oz. She is healthy and doing great. |
Harvey was 1.4 lb when i brought him home at 8 weeks old, and he is just 3 years old now and weighs 3.5 lb. He is a little bundle of trouble, he thinks he is so tough and strong, like a big boy, he does have me worried at times the way he charges around on/off furniture, like a little whirlwind.:) But he is very healthy, despite being such a picky/fussy eater. |

Missy hit 2 lbs @ 16 weeks. So she is slightly bigger (currently 3 lbs @ 7 months and 1 week of age) than Daisy, but I always get those comments from my vet and the staff there. Even when I took her to the Specialist Hospital everyone commented that they'd never seen one so small. It makes you feel like you have a freak of nature ;) |
Small Yorkie My Versace was definately that small at 4 months old. She is now 4 years old and weighs in at just 3 lbs. Tiny dog with a huge heart!:aimeeyork |

Mad is a little bigger than her but when a went to get Maddie the breeder had an older pup about 5 1/2 months, from a different litter that was 1 pound 8 oz she was very tiny and full of attitude, They were holding her and not trying to find her a new home until she was old and big enough to do all of the health tests first. Tests all came back good and she just went to her forever home about 2 weeks ago. Still there are not a lot of dogs out there that that tiny, My vet works primarily with small dogs, but Mad is still the littlest one that he has had. We are hoping that she will out grow that status soon, and the thought of spaying her at this point makes me unbelievably anxious. As for growth they all grow at their own rate my little girl really slowed down more than we expected her too(but she's not done yet;)), however I have a friend who's little one went through a really good growth spurt at about 9 months she bumped up from 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 lbs, and Copper my boy went through his last growth spurt at 15 month:eek: he out grew most of his clothes and gained another lb:) |
My Micah is also the same age and the same exact weight..I think he's pretty small but his personality says otherweise..I don't worry about it..All his visits to the vet are normal..He plays all day and loves to play rough..He has absolutely no idea that he's so tiny..In his mind he thinks he's a pit..I wouldn't worry about it if I were you..:) |
Pablo is 2.5 and 8 months. I hope he gets to 6lbs. I like that weight. They are hardier. |
When I got Tenci she was almost 6 months old and weighed 1 pound. She was so tiny, I was almost afraid to hold her. She is 1 year, 9 months now and weighs around 2.5 lbs. My little Chip weighed 1.6 lbs when I got him, but he has gained a little weight, now he is my porkey yorkie weighing in around 3.75 lbs. I am always more careful with Tenci, I treat her like a princess, but she can run circles around the boys, and she is always ready to put them in their place. |

My dog Rex is also a picky/fussy eater what do you do about Harvey??? Rex drives me crazy with food we are constantly trying something he likes. |
Meg weighed around the same weight as your pup when I brought her home at 11 weeks. She is now almost 6 months old and a whopping 3.5 lbs! |
