Does size matter? ;) I'm tryin to gauge how long Yoshi can hold his bladder because I was thinking of crating him for bedtime, but I obviously don't want to do it when he just can't help going to the bathroom. Problem is, he is 13 weeks old but already 5 pounds. Does that mean he can hold his bladder as much as a normal adult, or is bladder control correlated more closely with age? On a side note, how big would you guess he will get? He is huge from what I can gather in respect to most yorkies. I am worried I will be able to ride him to work a year from now, and if I need to have a saddle made, I need to order it early. |
LOL! Not sure on how long they can hold it. But as far as his size, look at it this way, you just have more Yorkie to love! I bet he gives great kisses!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: |
Does size matter? ;) In yorkies? No. In other areas? Well, sweetie, you know the standard response, but we women all know that's a lie.......sssshhhhh :cool: |
Logan was that big at 13 weeks also. He's starting to level out now at about 9 lbs (he's 7 months old). When he was 13 weeks he could not hold it all night most nights, but he would bark at about 2 or 3 in the morning and we would let him out and he'd go potty. He was able to hold it through the night most nights at about 4 months. |
I'm sure he can hold it for a few hours during the night. I've never crated, so maybe someone who has crating experience can give more help. I'd guess he's going to be about 10lbs. |

for a second so did i. and then my mouth, all on its own, formed the words "oh my god" |
Tinkerbell was 1.8 pounds at 9 weeks old and held it 6 hours. I would say by 2 lbs she would hold it a few more hours than that. He should be just fine through the night, although he may not think so ;) |

In this case I don't think size matters. But I only have the one to compare. Gus was able to hold his bladder all night (from 11pm - 7am) since the day I brought him home a year and a half ago. The very last thing I do before going to bed is let Gus out to do his biz. And he has never had an accident in his crate. |
I put Gidget in her crate when she was little but I always made sure to get up 2-3 times a night! Or if I heard her whining. She can hold it all night now but if I get up to go to the bathroom or something I let her out! Good luck on getting him trained! |
I would order the saddle now. lol!!!! hehehehe :D |

HAHAHAHA Ain't that the TRUTH.. And those poor suckers believe us :p :p :p Sorry I couldn't help it :D |
He's adorable! My new girl is 9 weeks and makes it through the night fine in her crate. No accidents. She's 1.5 pounds. |

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ! :animal36 |
I would say yes and no....Magic is only 5lbs and she defintely has to potty more often than Sailor who is 7lbs!!! But when she wants to or we make her she can hold it for a long time...she just has a smaller bladder due to her size!! But since he is only 13 weeks he may not know that he can hold it yet...that is somethng that he has to learn!! |
Can't help with the bladder question, but the size thing... sheesh.... Dublin was supposed to be under 7lbs when we got him at 12 weeks and according to all the charts he was right on target. The next thing I know, he's 8 months old and 10.5 lbs!!! Go figure.... :rolleyes: |
I don't know how true this is. I read in a book once that you can expect a puppy to hold it for an hour per how many months old. In your case, that would be around 3 hours. |
thanks everyone. yoshi is actually at my friend's house for the week while i'm in a conference in san diego, and he has been goin on pads in the kitchen at night so far. i'm gonna give night crating a try when i get back. he is such a handful. my friend called and one of the first things that came out of her mouth was "when you get back you're taking me to dinner" |
