| It can be very tricky . I've known people having big puppies but as adult they weren't big at all . |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Genetics goes back further than just the parents. The rule of thumb is triple the 8 week weight....and doubling the 12 week weight will guess even closer to adult size.

| Doubling the 12 week weight usually is pretty accurate, I've found. Jackson followed it to a tee, he was 6lbs at 12 weeks old and is now 12.5lbs as an adult.

| Obviously. It was a simple question asked out of curiosity.

well Baxter is the odd ball I guess lol. At 13 weeks he was 2.25 lbs. So he should have been around 5 lbs. Now at 2 years old he is 9.5 lbs, without a ounce of fat. lol Thats my boy! I agree with a larger yorkie though, there are alot less worries with them. And just as lovable and funny.
