How big is your yorkie? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

cawsumb · 10-23-2009, 12:43 PM

Kona is 7 years old and weighs 10.8 pounds. I have had her for about 2 months and when I took her to the vet he said she had LP (stage 1) so I worry about her jumping but I can not stop her! I always thought I wanted a "tiny" yorkie but I am so glad I have Kona.

Teddy is 3 and he is 10lb , I also had Max who was 14lb of muscle, and Levi who was 12lb.

We have always had the larger ones, although it wasn't planned that way.

Our little Sophie is a little over 3 lbs soaking wet, and she's 8 1/2 months old!!!! She may be small, but nothing stops her!!!! She jumps/plays/attacks bigger dogs (ha ha) like she weighs 100 lbs. She's a little fragile, but you'd never know it!!!! We love her to pieces, and have had no health issues because of her size.

my boy "Raja" is 8 pounds and he is 2yrs and 8month old now.

Apple is one week away from her first birthday and weighs a few ounces over 5 lbs....She is very small, and very sturdy and stocky...She was 4 lb. 6 ounces for soooooo long, then I switched her to raw, and she seems so heavy...but maybe, now, she is the weight she really should be

christ1 · 10-23-2009, 02:00 PM

our bella is 12 months and a whopping 3.06 pounds. anywhere we go, we get stopped, cause she is so darn cute

Yashibaby · 10-23-2009, 02:13 PM

hello my p.diddy is 1 pound 1oz we will know if he's weigh more after tomorrow morning he looks bigger feels bigger but he's a small fry

trin7 · 10-23-2009, 02:17 PM

The last time we had Darwin weighed he was six months and 5 pounds - he feels heavier to me, like a brick as someone else mentioned. He bounces and jumps like a crazy pup and also thinks he can tackle bigger dogs. He has absolutely no problem jumping on and off of our furniture. I'm glad he's so sturdy as we also have a 115 (app) pound 3/4 Great Pyrenees. Zain's also a puppy at 15 months so we are always on guard in case he has one of his hyper moments. It will be really nice when they both get a bit older.

mommyofsophie · 10-23-2009, 03:44 PM

Sophie will be 7 mos. tomorrow and she weighs 2 lbs. 7 oz. I'm still hoping she'll have a growth spurt and make it to 4-5 lbs. (fingers crossed!) Yes, she's adorable at this small size, but it's just too fragile. She's healthy and VERY active, but still, I'd love for her to be a bit sturdier. Especially because she insists on doing things like JUMPING OFF THE BED, even though she knows she's not supposed to. Somehow, she just doesn't realize how small she is. Typical Yorkie!

Jacksmom052709 · 10-23-2009, 04:00 PM

Jack will be 5 months old in four days! He weighs in a little over 2 pounds (a big improvement from the 1 and a quarter pound pup we brought home 2 months ago.) I'm hoping he'll hit 4 pounds, but like some of the others have said, he thinks he's a big dog. My hubby did build steps for him to get up and down from the couch - I was so worried he would fall off and hurt himself because he was so small. Now he jumps off on occasion but I worry about the joints as well and would rather he use the steps. LOL

JohnnieWalker · 10-23-2009, 04:10 PM

Walker (2 yrs old) is about 8.5 pounds and sturdy as can be. He looks gigantic next to his 4 pound little brother, but I have to be honest: I worry about little Morgan getting hurt every minute of every day. And maybe I'm just overly protective, but Morgan's little legs are so much more delicate and he is so much easier to step on or tumble down the stairs. I hope, he'll gain another 2 pounds, but I also see the appeal of having a tiny dog. As long as they stay healthy, size doesn't matter in my opinion. Find a great breeder though, ask lots of questions.

ddavis6326 · 10-23-2009, 04:34 PM

Hannah is 13 months and around 5.5 pounds. She LOVES to jump ! At first (when she was smaller), I worried all the time about her breaking something. However, she just sooo fast .So, by the time, I reaching for her, she has jumped off the couch. So, I just have to keep a close eye on her and pray.

KrissieBella · 10-23-2009, 04:40 PM

KB is 5 lbs 6 ounces. She has short little legs. She is so cute!

katy-yorkie · 10-23-2009, 06:19 PM

Buster will be two years old in two months and weighs 3.8 lbs. He is very small and very cute. He does not have any more health issues than my Yorkie that weighs 5 lbs. He can jump up and down from the furniture. He will jump in the car when we are going somewhere. He loves to walk, run and swim. All in all he is pretty healthy. He looks fragile and I am very careful with him. I wouldn't trade him for anything. He is very sweet and loving and so very, very loyal.
