Yorkie size Hi! My husband gave me a male yorkie for Christmas! We have named him Charlie and we love him so much. He is now 14 weeks old and weighs 5-1/2 pounds (at 9 weeks he weighed 3-1/2 lbs). His legs are really short and he has a fairly short body as well. Is this a good weight for this age? I'm wondering how big he will be and when do they stop growing? |

Yes, yes, welcome to YT and please post picts. of Charlie!! |
There is a lot of great reading here on Yt. These threads might help you. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...iscussion.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...rt-thread.html |
LOL, you wont ever heard Cattle with a little guy like that. But on the other hand my little guy ran off a Grizzly bear in tall grass. Sometimes Fierce makes up for Short! |
I was told by the breeder I bought my little chloe from , that you should triple the weight they are at 12 weeks and that is what they will weigh?? It worked for her, but was wayyy off on my little Harley:confused: |
The growth chart doesn't always work. A lot depends on your puppy's ancestors. If there is a large amount of different sizes in it's background then it's hard to say what his mature size will be. At 14 weeks of age he still has a lot of growing to do. There seems to be a wide variation of Yorkie sizes here on YT. They go from 2lbs to 20lbs! |
Well, Charlie's parents are 4 and 6 lbs. I'm hoping he will be small, but I love him regardless! He just loves to eat. He's really short legged and not very big. |
Just as a comparison....Teeka is 6 1/2 months or 30 weeks and she weights 3.6 lbs. At 14 weeks, she weighted 2.2 lbs. Her parents were 3 lbs & 5 lbs. Her growth over the last 2 months has slowed way down. Since she turned 6 months she has gained nothing! Every dog is different in their growth! I would love to see pictures! |
Sounds like you may have a big boy!! But he may really slow down soon... They are all so different!! But, I agree, would love to see a pic! |
Congrats on your new boy, i am betting that at 14 wks and 5-1/2 lbs already he will be in the 10 to 12 lb range..just love every pound of him :) |
I can't figure out how to upload a pic pf Charlie. I'm using an iPad and have the picture in my iPad photo gallery nHelp! |
Finally figured out picture upload. I had to upload onto site with my phone. For some reason it won't upload from my iPad! |
Hi and welcome to you and Charlie. :) he might grow a lot or just gain a little more and stop. You can never be sure with these love bugs. :) |

About 90% is in the background! Pups have growth spurts, pups start out gaining and then stop.....weight charts are just a guesstimation, a ball park figure, give or take a couple of pounds! Genetics and what is behind that baby......there lies the answer! |
