Welcome to YT. :) From what I have gathered here, Yorkies reach their full size at different ages: some as early as 8 months, others as late as 18-24 months. For a clean bottom, do a "sanitary trim." Trim the hair around the anus. Stools should be firm enough not to stick to hair. If your pup's stools are too soft or runny, think about modifying the diet. |
Bailey stopped growing around 8 months. |
Yes trim the hair around her butt..it will help. As far as growing your best bet is to ask the breeder. They should know how the lines grows. Some grow fast and stop at 6 months..then some will grow over a year. I had one girl to gain over a pound after she was a year. I also had a girls that was 3 pounds at 5 months and ended up weighing 7 pounds. |
It all depends, they will grow at different rates as some are early developers and some are late developers. I think you should take WV~Yorkies advice and ask the breeder if you want an idea. Also her stools shouldnt be runny if they are you need to try her with a different diet or visit your vet. Poppy used to get a mucky butt but since I changed her food to something more natural and started to add dry food in with her wet her stools have been much better and she dosnt need a butt wash half as much as she used to :) |
