When do Yorkies stop growing??

[Ginnie Lou]

I know this probably has been asked before, but when did your Yorkie stop growing? Abby is 7 months and I'm hoping shes not going to weigh much more. (7lbs)

Timba is 3 yrs. old and he is about 7lbs. he eats like a hog so I hope he doesnt get any fatter...

Nolee pretty much stopped around 2 years old! He has been between 9 & 10 lbs for around a year or so!

Sophie didn't gain any weight at all between 6-8 months, and now has put on a few ounces now that she's almost 9 months old. Seems like she's filling out some!

Tiki pretty much stopped by 9 months, then put on a few oz. after spay at 14 months, and topped out at 7# 2oz. now 19 months. She went thru spurts of short stalky, to taller/longer and thin during the first year.

Like you, I hope my baby is done growing. Max had a growth spurt at 9 months and gained a pound. He is now 11 months old, 8 pounds and 11.5 inches from the floor to the top of his shoulder blades.

Many books say that Yorkies are full grown at 8 months. Reading previous threads, I learned that some Yorkies continue to grow until age 2.

I never realized yorkies had such LONG legs, shes my first yorkie, I've always had maltese and I thought they had similar body shapes, ,maybe Abby is just a leggy yorkie......lol shes long and lean!

This is my first Yorkie and mine also has long legs. I love the long legs and body type Max has because it reminds me of my Airedale terrier.

Some of the exhibitors in the show section of this forum describe the long-leg variety as "elegant." I agree with that description -- the long legs can make for a beautiful gait.

Hi my Dustie is 8 months old next week...and about 3 lbs...but he is long legged....well just tall...He stands about 9" from the ground...My hubby calls him a Giraffe.. Trouble is he likes to use them long legs for jumping now...and if he keeps on it may get him into big trouble soon

Chris..

My little Lily is about two and a half pounds. She hasn't really gained much weight the past month and a half. She is now eleven months old. I too am wondering when she will she be finished growing?

Joey quit growing around a year old, and Tank hasn't really grown since he was about 10 months old.
