1 Attachment(s) I thought Suzi was going to be a big girl! At least over the 7lb's. She was already 3lbs at 9 weeks . now she is 15 months old and is at 7lbs . She is not stocky, but long. more of a leggy girl :) [ATTACH]279130 |
I know I have looked at alot of pictures of yorkies and even more than per say "weight" is not the difference as it is the size of the dog. Long legs and long body seems to make the big difference rather than weight. With all the hair, weight doesn't really show, of course unless you pick them up.LOL I am still amazed at how many difference shape and sizes these furbabies come in. Even the nose difference is an assortment of long and short. I can see how people could not tell some dogs are yorkies if they had not seen other "styles" of yorkies. Very interesting breed I have gotten myself into. I am definitely falling in love with the breed. |
your baby is so cute. when i was looking at his pictures, i just though, 'yorkies really come in all shape and sizes!" LOL milu is my first dog, so i can only tell you my experience with milu. the reason i say they come in different shape and sizes is because compare to your puppy, milu is very skinny and has longer legs. milu is a smaller yorkie, so what i have heard is that bigger yorkies get their growth spurts earlier on, and smaller ones get their growth spurts later on. not sure how true it is, but it was true for us. milu stopped growing at around 5 monthes, and didn't grow again till after 8 months. she is now 14 months old. and i am not sure if she will grow more or not. but i have heard that some yorkies dont' reach full size till 2 years old (again, not sure how true this is, just what people have told me) |
Not a yorkie but my maltipoo reached her full weight at 12 months (3 lbs 14 oz) |

Your baby is so cute. Every dog is different just like humans. Mika's parents were 5lb and 4lb. He is 7.5lbs at just 7mths. I still think he is really small at this weight/height. I'm glad he isn't lighter/smaller to be honest but I did think at the time that I was buying a lighter/smaller puppy when I 1st bought him, when he was going to be fully grown. |
Jemma is a Shorkie. Her Mom, s**tzu was 9 pounds, her Daddy, Yorkie was 6 pounds. Jemma is a week shy of 7 months and weighs 4 pounds. Her height is 8 1/2 inches, just measured her. Jemma weighed 2 pounds when she came home. She wasn't growing at all and I did not want a teeny puppy or a , what's it called, tea cup? Which doesn't really exist. I wanted health. I don't know if she will get bigger. She is at the stage of YIKES, what is it, lol. She is leggy and long. But looks skinny. IMHO that is. Cute? I think so. I think she is very pretty. She does have a undershot, which is very common of the s**tzu. However, her VERY HIGH activity level is going to kill me yet. She is stubborn. She is loveable. It took 6 months for her to get the hang of the pee pad. I think we're ok with that now. Fingers crossed. Jemma will be what she will be. I love her if she grew horns. Which I think she has now. I swear at times I see her running with a pitch fork. Carol and Jemma |
