Muffins weight?

I think a breeder cant really predict the end weight of a yorkie, only estimate. I think your little guy will be around 5-6 lbs. still on the standard.


joey301, Welcome to YT. Any pics of Ruggles and Smarty? Cute names. I will say not to feed him less just enough and cut down on the treats and have many walks. Good luck.

Thank you. He may need more exercise. When the weather is warm, he gets a walk of 1/2 mile to a mile per day. He is a muscular little doggie. When he was a baby, he went on a two mile dog/owner run, where he was a big hit (we rested off and on). He loves to run with me (him on a leash) to the point that when he is on a leash he thinks we are going for a run instead of a walk. With the advent of cold weather, he is not as active, but I don't think lack of activity is causing his weight problem. My vet thinks I should be able to feel his ribs.

I have only figured out how to use that Avatar feature so far. I am still trying to figure out attachments and posting pics.

Piper was supposed to be 4-5 lbs, was told probably more toward the 4, but he's about 6 lbs. at almost 9 months but still looks so small to me. I just LOVE that he's a happy and healthy little guy
