Is my Phoebe the right size for her age? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Phoebespvmom · 03-02-2010, 03:20 AM

Hello All! I hope I'm doing this correctly as I am new to this. My little Phoebe is 15 wks and she is about 8 in.long (from base of neck to rear) and 6 in. at the shoulder. She was 2.8 lbs at 12 wks. Does this mean she will be huge? Mom is 5.5 and Dad is 3.5-4.

Yorkies come in all sizes but guesstimating her adult size she should be about 6lbs

perfect size imo

It's really is no telling but some say to double their weight at 12 weeks. I am thinking she will be about 5 pounds

I think it's hard to say. Wrigley was 1.13lbs at 12 1/2 weeks & is 6lbs on the nose now! The breeder and our vet thought she would be 4lbs, so you never know!

I guess it doesn't really matter. It's just that I've have already spoiled her rotten and taken her everywhere with me. I just hope she stays small enough for me to continue to do that! This is such a great site! Nice to talk to others that love their babies as much as I love mine!

Tucker was 2.5 pounds at 10 weeks... he is now 9 pounds at year and half. He came from 4 pound parents. So in my case, the "rule of thumb" didnt apply for either. They come in all shapes and sizes...

... if your pup does end up bigger.. just more to love..

congrats on your new pup..

mollie jade · 03-02-2010, 05:43 AM

Phoebe will probably be between 5 to 6 pounds .

phoebevon · 03-02-2010, 06:05 AM

I have a Phoebe too! And they are about the same age!

Phoebespvmom · 03-02-2010, 06:10 AM

phoebevon · 03-02-2010, 08:55 AM

JonlyCajunQueen · 03-02-2010, 11:48 AM

Yes, yorkies do come in many sizes. Between 5 to 6 lbs she should be depending on how much and what you feed her.
