| I agree, it is all a crap shoot!!! The parents or grand and grand sires/dams probably will tell you more than just what the parents size is I had to edit and say, if the breeder has long lines and is consistent with the size the dams/sires throw, then you would be more able to know what your baby may end up being

My girl was 6-6.5 pounds and my male is usually 4-4.5 pounds. Their first litter produced mostly 3 pound as adults, with one being a little larger at 5 pounds. This last litter is looking to be the same way. Only one was larger than the rest and he looks like he will be around the same or a little larger than dad. So you really can't just go by what mom & dad weigh. BTW -- my girl's mom and dad were much smaller than her, so that is probably why she threw smaller pups. Aprillove's post reminded me of that factor!

| I agree with other poster's "you never know what you're gonna get" but we all love our yorkies no matter the size. I understand wanting to order clothes and stuff, he is about 10 months, right? He has done alot of his growing, I would order clothes that fit nicely, but still leave some room for filling out. This is what I have been doing with Maddie, she is 11 months.
