I rarely literally laugh out loud but this made me!

Thanks for the great info. I love the Yorkie Breed. I had a Yorkie/Pek mix for 17 years. she was afraid of nothing and loved to go out with me on water, ect. She passed 3 years ago and Im ready for another. Id like to stay with the Yorkie breed this time. I guess Im just a little concerned that when they are so tiny I have to be extra cautious with their little bones. So the size concern I have is for this reason. Im glad to read that the breed is strong and muscular.

Georgie snores and wakes himself up too. He looks around growling like who did that! LOL!!! OP Georgie is 4lbs at 7 years old...I worry about him constantly! I would like our next Yorkie to be 8-10lbs for sure.

My Avery is one year old this month and is 10.5#. I am just wondering when I can expect him to be fully grown? I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but I am new to this puppy thing I thought he was big for a Yorkie but I see now they come in all sizes (just like people LOL)

Usually they have attained most of their skeletal highth and length by the time they are 9 to 10 months old. They do usually put on some more weight for a few more months.

Thanks everyone for the great information. I can see there are alot of great mommies out there. Im glad you understand my concerns. My last dog was a yorkie/pek mix that lived 17years. She passed 3 years ago. She had alot of health issues but still lived to 17. She loved to go out on the water with me. She was an amazing dog. I am now looking at adoption too. From this site I found some great Florida rescues.
I wish I could show you a picture of my dog but I cant seem to upload a pic it says its too large even when I made it smaller.

Blessing to you all. Happy Holidays. (I guess its close enough to start saying that) LOL
