| Gained 1 lb in 2 weeks!!!!!!! I just got back from the vet, we had meeshas lyme vaccine, the vet broke down meeshas vaccines into multiple appointments every 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago when we were there she weighed 2.1 lb, today she weighed in at 3LBS!, the vet said it must have been a growth spurt. Anyone elses baby have a growth spurt?....She is not fat, we aren't over feeding her.She's gotten longer and taller. Meeshas father weighs little under 3 lbs lol, and her mother weighs a little over 5 lbs i think it was...dose this mean my baby's going to be big, a teapot? LOL i don't mind how big she gets, but i didn't expect her to grow so big so fast lol, so just wondering if growth spurts like this is normal? aha |

| Did you feed her or did she drink a lot of water before you went to the vet? Sometimes things like that make a big difference in their weigh ins when they go to the vet. :] Its happened plenty of times with Lilo where she just decides to drink a ton of water before we go and she gains an extra few ounces. LOLThey're so small so things like this can make a difference. If not that, I know a lot of puppies have early or late growth spurst. some will just continue to get bigger, while others get to a certain size then slow down a lot. Either way if Meesha's 10 pounds or 3 pounds she's still a cutie! |

| What a doll face !!! She is a doll , so she gain a little weight. :') My furbabies were 1.6 when I got them, 3 weeks later , she was 2.4 and he is 3.0 lbs. They're 14 weeks now, he eats more than her and they play around the same. I'm not worry, I feel them what the vet told me too. I give them 2 cups of food a day , they eat together so I don't know how much each eat. Sometime pups may or may not weight around the same as their parents , but allot will . I guess you will have to wait and see how big or little she will be. She will be just as cute !!!! I heard if you got it from a good breeder they will be better to ask , since they know more about the pups parents and grandparents, Since they breed them. Just don't do what I did , when I got my first yorkie girl and went out and got 3 different bags for her and cloths, she out grew everything so I save everything and use it on Max and now on reirei and rudy. Congrats ! and Good Luck !!!

| thanks everyone,my familys been joking calling her string bean because she grew so quick LOL I really don't care about how big she'll be,I guess I'll just have to wait and see lol,meesha's father comes from joy mason breeder and i forget the name of the mothers breeder,somone in ontario..i guess i'll check them out see what her grandparents look like just out of curiousity.. And Manina too late about not doing what you did! LOL I alrady have her a whole clothing rack of clothes for when she's an adult, i assumed she'd be around 5lbs, so they;re all xs clothes LOL,if she outgrows them..then i have even more reason to get her a little sister...haha... thanks though everyone for letting me know that its not abnormal for my baby to have a growth spurt around this age.. |

| Princess leveled off right around one year at 6.9lbs. every time. Then...she slowly added more. She was last at 9.4 at just 2yrs. but she may have added a little more. I know you'll love your girl no matter what, but just in case you're wondering, she's still small & very portable at 9lbs., not to mention super loveable.

| We had a similar "shock" with Brew. Mom was 6lbs and dad was 4lbs. we got him at 8 weeks (i know now thats eeek...but i found yorkie talk after) he was 2lbs then. He gained a pound every 2-4 weeks and he is now 9.2 lbs at 7 1/2 months old. he has really slowed down on growing though and he's been pretty steady at that weight for about a month now. not to say that your sweetie will get that big, but just to show that the parents don't always give a look to the future. i had a 3.6lb yorkiepoo who lived past 14 years old and i must say it's MUCH less stressfull having a more robust pup around. he still sits/fits in my lap!! and it's just all the more Yorkie to love |
