How big do you think my yorkie/silky puppy will get? Hey everyone! Thank you so much for helping me out with which mix you thought Romeo was, I truely think he is a yorkie/silky mix, being that his mom is either a pure silky or silky/yorkie mix and his father is a pure yorkie. I was just wondering since he has already grown so much since I first got him, if he is going to grow any bigger? As of now Romeo is 4 months and 6.5 lbs. He has long legs and body is long (12 inches). His mom (the silky) is 8-9 lbs and his dad (the yorkie) is 9-10 lbs. He is very long and lanky right now and I figured he would fill out, but he hasn't changed in height for about a month now, do you think his bone structure has reached his adult size and he'll just fill out? Thank you so much for your help! I'm a new yorkie owner so all of the advice you could give me would be helpful. |
That is probably a question that can only be answered by Father Time. A fairly good answer could be found by going back about three generations on both sides of the parents. |
Romeo is so cute! I believe my Moka is a Silky/Yorkie mix. She came to us as a Silky, and I have done a lot of research and just don't believe she is full Silky. Of course, I don't know anything about her parents, and the mill she came from has been shut down, but she is like you describe, long with short legs, and she has Silky ears. Since the standard for the Silky is 9 to 11 pounds, it sounds like your Romeo is right on target for that based on his parents too. Of course, no one really knows until they get there. Moka weighs in at 8 lbs. My guess is her mother was a Silky, and her father was a smaller Yorkie. |

At 4 months, it is highly unlikely that your pup has achieved full bone size. A general means to predict adult size is to double the weight at 12 weeks of age, or double the weight and add a pound. Some pups end up smaller, some larger. |
