Oops, me too.

I am new here, and have two yorkie's . I do not know about measurments, but it interesting how they are built so different.
My first one is long and lean , weighing in at 7 lbs. my other yorkie is smaller looking, with a stalky build. She is shorter . however this girl is 8 LBS! weighing in even more then my first yorkie. Even though she looks smaller because she is more compact. LOL

I have their measurements from a few weeks back....
Ben is:
length -- 9"
height -- 9"
Neck -- 9"
Girth -- 14" (yes he had gained some weight with that belly!! I think it should be an inch or two smaller now. Since he has lost some weight now. The measurements were easy to remember -- all 9 inches until we got to that belly! Working on it! Pass the green beans!
Ben is @ 5 lbs.

Annie --
length -- 8 1/2"
height -- 8 1/2"
Neck -- 6"
girth -- 10"
Weight -- @ 3 pounds

I am guessing on their weights as I have not weighed them for a while. But I am usually pretty close. Ben was a 4.5 lb dog until we had him neutered and he got into Annie's Puppy food. I have them on All Life Stage food now & give Ben extra exercise & green beans -- he seems to be slowly but surely getting back in shape.

My Toto is a boxy 8" tall and 8" long and, last time she was weighed, 5.2 lbs. at 7 yrs. old. She is a little fat ball. We will join Patrick in PA [brrrrrrr] soon and I am packing up boots, coats, etc. Hoping to exercise her more and perhaps carve some of this fat off her!

[baby yorkie]

Ally just turned 2 yrs at 3lbs 2oz
Height: 7
Girth: 10
Length: 8
Neck: 6

Tia just turned 1 yr at somewhere over 5lbs (last weighed at 5lbs 3oz in Nov, but she is a piggy)
Height: 9
Girth: 12
Length: 10
Neck: 8

Mine seem to be at the same proportion at 2 inches apart in everything????

Savannah is 4 years old and a rescue and pretty teenie

Height: 7" and the height from the floor to the top of her head is about 11 and 3/4"
neck: 8"
length: 9"
girth is 11"

She weighed in at 3.8lbs a few weeks ago but she has a wellness check with our vet this wednesday and please pray for us all is well with her. I am sure she is a tad underweight but the vet will let me know.

I lost my yorkie after 11.5 years and took little savannah under my wing

she's such a gentle soul who has been through so much and come so far in just one week.

She's learned to actually live outside a crate..what its like to sleep on a bed and she is actually greeting people who come to the house.

She is exceptional about using the potty pad though in the past she got scolded for not asking to go out.

Poor little thing today had to get a bath and that didn't go over too well and she go so upset she puked on the doggie steps.

Talk about cute though she was so concerned about the mess...she tried to bury it with her nose...she didn't touch it but did that on the bottom step below where she had the accident

she has such a gentle soul

Oops!! Me too... I'll have to measure chest & girth, later..

I couldn't get measurements if I wanted to. Silver only sits still when she's sleeping but we did go to the vet the other day and she weighs 5.2lbs at 22wks old.
