| We got Wrigley when she was 12 1/2 weeks old and she weighed 1.13lbs and she will be 3 this month and weighs 6lbs! So she really didn't follow the chart!

| Oni was 1.5 pounds for 12 and 13 week old. He is prob 7 pounds and is 5 1/2 months. I was taken advantage of by a puppy mill and he sold me the dog under concept of teacup. He starved the puppy and he was sick when I got him. I didn't know about this site and the wrong understanding of teacup. I have had to majorally adjust to this growing dog and it has been a struggle but I do so much love him. So even x3 is not even coming close to his size. I do not know about the parents, cause he would not give me any information cause he got my money and he doesn't care. Puppy Mills are so bad. So prob at the one year mark I will know what I have. Since he has grown so fast he will prob quite pretty early. Last edited by hearttx; 06-06-2009 at 11:00 AM. |

| Kayden is almost 8 months, and at 9.5 pounds. I'm glad she didn't stay as little as the breeder said she would. She goes everywhere with me. It makes me angry when people ask if she is 'really a yorkie'! Yes! She is! And I love every ounce of her. But when we go to the farmers' market or camping, etc...I don't have to worry about her as much...and she can play...I don't have to carry her. Enjoy that bundle of joy |

| My little, now big Louis weighed a mere 2 pounds at 8 weeks. At 10 weeks he weighed 4 pounds. At 12 he weighed 6 pounds. He is almost 5 months old and still growing! I haven't weighed him in a while though. |

| is there a difference between regular, teacup, and toy? Or are there only 2 kinds, regular and toy? What are the weight diffs? Breeders and puppy stores in general lie and it's awful. False advertisement in terms of sales :tdown: At 8 weeks my guy was about 2lbs - sold as a "toy" Last edited by Rocky-Baby; 06-06-2009 at 09:01 PM. |

| I <3 my teapot. There are some definite advantages to having a little bit of a larger dog. At a lean, athletic 13 pounds, Penny is still a small dog compared with most dogs out there, small enough to easily travel with and cute as a button, but she is big enough that I don't have to fret about hypoglycemia, she can keep up with me when we're on one of our seven mile hikes, and I can let her play with children and friendly big dogs without being terrified that they'll injure her.

| I read the comments from people who have those tiny little 2 and 3 pounders, and I cringe. My Bella is a little slip of a thing at 3.75 lbs.; Puddie the Porker is a little over 7 lbs. To ME, these dogs are TINY. They are belled so I know where they are and don't step on them. Meds always give me the heebie-jeebies because the meds always seem to be for larger dogs, which means I'm overdosing my smaller dogs. The way I see it, you have the best of both worlds: a wonderful little dog with all the looks and personality of a Yorkie in a slightly larger package that will be healthier and easier to medicate . You don't have to be as afraid that your pup will be hurt (as easily as the little ones). Yeh, look at the bright side: you're kinda lucky! |

| My Ben and Sadie held very true to the double at 12 weeks rule, actually they were both just a tad under the doubled weight. I think part of that is I like to pick the roly poly puppies and when they carry extra baby weight, it may not all double. My sister just came to visit and she has one of Ben & Sadie's first litter. She is a 3 pound adult. A friend of mine has another female from the same litter and she is 5 pounds. They were both almost the same weight within an ounce or two at 12 weeks. So, it can vary. Your puppy should JUST NOW be ready to go to a new home at 12 weeks/3 months. How early did you get your pup that you thought it might grow to be 5 pounds, but it is 6 pounds at 3 months?
