Attn: all tiny yorkie mommies

[deonk1]

My little "cupcake" is 9 months and is around 3lbs, maybe 3.5lbs. When I took him in to be neutered he was one oz short of 3lbs. I can't remember his exact weight at 3 months I'm thinking around 1lb 14oz maybe, but he was under 2lbs for a while.
It's funny cause Harley was not the runt of the litter either, his 2oz brother is now 5lbs. Harley was 4oz at birth. His two 4.5oz sisters are also in the 4-4.5lbs range right now.

Rule of thumb for Yorkies is triple at 8 wks and double at 12...she should make the 4 pd mark..maybe a 1/2 pd more..most have a growth spurt in the 4 to 6 mos range...she is a doll baby.

LuLu is kinda the same way. She weighed 2.2 lbs at her initial vet visit with us at 14 weeks. I have a postal scale so I weigh her often just to see & she hasn't gained anything in the 2 weeks we've had her. She eats great & is a happy, playful puppy. So, I'm not worried about her health. I'm just assuming she'll either have a big growth spurt or just stay small.

BTW, according to her breeder's vet Lulu weighed 1.9 lbs around 12 weeks.

She is such a little doll! What an adorable, kissable face. Riley was 1.4 lbs at 11 weeks, and is about 3.3 lbs now at almost 4 years old. She's full of spunk, and I'm just happy she's over 3 lbs. It took forever for her to make it to 2.

I didn't have my girl until she was 4 months and she weighted in at 2.6lbs. She's now a yr and weights 4lbs.

My lil monkey was 2.2 lbs @ 12 weeks, 3.3lbs @17 weeks and at about 6 months weighed 4.5lbs. She's a picky eater so IDK how she doubled! I'm guessing about 5.5-6 lbs full grown. :-)

Love the terms!!!

They all grow so differently, I think Maddie was a little over 1lb at 12 weeks but i didnt bring her home till about 16 weeks... Now she is almost 2 years and 2lbs 4oz at last vet visit. I would say she abt doubled her 12 week weight. Your baby is adorable.

[PenniesMom]

She getting such a fat head with all the compliments

[Bitsy's Mom]

She is adorable. They all grow at different rates so time will tell. My little Emee came home to us at 14 weeks weighing 2 lbs. She now is 4 pounds 12 ounces and will most likely make it to 5 pounds.

Time will tell. Enjoy your baby...she is adorable.

[MochaBoyMom]

Love your new terminology. Hope it catches on. Can't wait to go home and hug my pound cake (5.5 lbs at 9 months).

I know what you mean about that . Sadie may be little but she is one tough girl. She is quick to stand up to any of her sisters or brother. She is very strong and makes more noises to scare all her sibilings.They are all afraid of her they will walk away from her. She is so funny to watch. She will walk past one of the cats a make a growling noise and the cats run . She nows whats she is doing. All 3 lbs of her. lol

I just took my sissy to the vet and she weighed 1.6 at almost 4 months. I know my baby is going to be a cupcake lol.

[PenniesMom]
