The breeder I got Pixie and Roxie from said her lines tend to stop or really slow down by 6 months of age. Pixie was an adult when I got her so I don't know on her, but Roxie really had a growth spurt from 4 to 6 months and then just put some weight on but not height. I would guess Bear could end up anywhere from 6-7 lbs. Just a guess though.

Thanks for the guess.

That's what I was guessing too, based on a growth chart I found earlier. I just love watching him grow!

Pixie and Roxie are adorable! I love their names.

Thanks! She is a year and a half. It's amazing how these precious puppies touch our lives, isn't it?

My Max was just 4 1/2 # at 15 months... he seemed very frail, but vet said he'd like him to stay at or under 5#. Well... Mr. Garbage Gut is now a solid 6# at 26 months and solid as a rock. They will continue to grow and thicken at least thru the 3rd year. I think show dogs are kept very lean, but the natural state of Yorkies is probably more in the 10 to 15 pound range.

Thank you. Max and Marley are adorable!

Tilly's ears have never stood up. She is now a year old and they are still floppy just like when she was a pup.

meeshas were up at 6 weeks lol, she was the only one in the litter of 3 with them up, but the breeder kept her ear hair trimmed very short, which i think helps...maybe try trimming his ear hair?
