Question for adult yorkie owners Re: Growth - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bailey is 3.4lbs at 6.5 months, I'm hoping he reaches the 5lb mark, or more. Can you all tell me at what age your yorkies stopped growing?

Jackson stopped growing, hmm... probably around 8-9 months old? At least I think he's done. He's almost a year old now at 12.5lbs and he's been there for quite a while now. Typically, they say to double the 12 week weight and add a pound. Do you know how much he weighed at 12 weeks old?

Motley was 3 pounds at 6 months and is now 5.5 pounds at 15months. I think he stopped growing around 1year.

He weighed 1.7lbs at 12 weeks. Love the avatar pic of Jackson running!

Thanks!

He probably won't get very much bigger! He's doubled his weight so far exactly! 1.7 + 1.7 = 3.4lbs! So, add another pound or so, I'd say he will stay around 4-4.5lbs, maybe a tiny bit over or under. But, what do I know, right?

It all depends! Some dogs will continue growing until a year or over.

Very true, you never know what you will get! I have my fingers crossed
