Clyde weighed four pounds at four months old when I adopted him. I don't have his 12 week weight =( ... but at three years old he weighs a whopping 13 pounds.

Dexter weighed 2.5 pounds at 12 weeks, and weighs 9 pounds fully grown.

We were at the vet today. So...

Yoshi: 12 wks = 2.3 lbs / now, 1 year = 7.2 lbs
Momo: 12 wks = 4.2 lbs / now, 9 mos = 8.6 lbs

Both are healthy & happy :)

Interesting to see in this thread how impossible it really is to predict adult weight. Yoshi was the same size at 12 wks as other Yorkies who are now in between 3-12 lbs as an adult. That's a huge window.

When I had Momo's DNA tested, the report came back telling me that she would weigh in between 5-10 lbs. Even a DNA test can't give a good prediction! Lol

More to love ;)

Wow, You take the cake having had a DNA test! :notworthy lol Momo might make it but I see what you're saying about the range! It's huge! Do you control your dogs food or do they graze?? I may need to do a poll for that one...it'll keep things straight!

Go for it Pookybear!!!

Wow that's funny!!! This from Yorkshire for Dummies:

I'd do it, but they don't provide that service in Mexico..(jk) lololol But really, I'm sure that service isn't provided here.

Oh PookyBear...I must be honest & let you know that I'm really not worthy of "taking the cake". :embarasse I didn't actually get a DNA test to try to predict Momo's adult weight. That was the last thing on my mind when I had the test run. In fact, I didn't even know that the adult weight prediction was going to be on the report.

Momo is a mill rescue & she was very ill when we got her at 12 weeks. She almost died. Twice. I ran the DNA test because I wanted to be 100% positive about her breed, the breed of her parents, grandparents, great-grandparents. I wanted to be prepared for any congenital issues that might come up in the future. The weight thing was one little paragraph at the end of the 4 page report.

Regarding feeding, I both control & allow them to graze. I have a complcated feeding schedule. But if you really want to know...
Breakfast is at 8:30. From 10-3 I leave them a few tablespoons of dry food so they can graze in case they get hungry. Momo has some digestive issues & needs to eat small portions often. So she has dinner at 5. Yoshi doesn't get hungry until 7ish. So he eats a dinner at around 7. Then they both have a snack at before bedtime. I feed them a lot of treats througout the day. But I subtract the treats from the total daily food intake. They get things like baby carrots, celery, green beans, raw squash, strawberries, yogurt, little chunks of roasted chicken, deydrated yams, cheese, tripe, pieces of their dry food...On bath day, once a week they get a duck neck. I don't feed them traditional kibble. They eat raw. Even the "dry food" is raw, either dehydrated or air-dried. I home cook for them too. I switch it up every now & then so they don't get bored. I also use a lot of supplememts. I'm pretty anal about their food. I know how many calories/protien/fat each of them require a day & I make sure that they eat as much as their bodies require. When I homecook, I weigh out the protein, carbs, etc on a kitchen scale & add any supplements that they need that they aren't getting from the "normal" food.

So I definitely control their food, but I do it throughout the day vs. once/twice/three times a day.

Not even worth it !!!!

Galen at 13 weeks weighed 2 lbs 5 ozs.

I have heard it said that the size of a Yorkie can be told by the size of the pupil, pups with small pupils will be big and pups with large pupils will be small, makes sense to me, big hands, big feet equal little noses and vice versa...hehehehe

I'm not sure if it's my age or sleep depravation but I'm so mixed up here. First of all, Pooky was 13 weeks and 3 days when I got him and he weighed 2 lbs 4 oz.

When I posted this, he was already 14 weeks and a day weighing 2 pounds 5 2/5 oz.

I guess I was thinking he would be 13 weeks forever :confused: :D

Setting the record straight for Pooky and thank you all for your posts!!!

Exactly how much does he weight today and exactly how old is he now?

Today he is 14 weeks and 4 days, dob Nov. 4, 2012. He weighed 1st thing this morning at 2 lbs 6 oz. measured 6 3/4" tall.

Piper was 13 weeks on Monday. She was weighed at the vets today at a whopping 3.3 pounds (lol). Her father was 4 lbs and mother 6lbs. According o the growth chart she should be 6.5-7lbs as an adult which I believe (according to the growth chart I found online) is 23 weeks. So if correct, I'll see if its accurate 10 weeks from now.

The on line charts are largely in accurate.

Some babies grow to 12-24 months...so you never know. Charts aren't really the best way to judge. In fact, I think that they're probably only accurate about 10% of the time.

I hope to see lots of pictures of your baby posted! :D

I posted pics in my album.

That's true. Kaji was just 6 lbs at 12 months. And by just I mean barely 6 lbs. I took him in as soon as he joined my family and the vet informed me, not only is he healthy, but to expect him to put on some more weight. Whatever the amount was, what he weighed at 18 months was his healthy adult weight. I took him back at 18 months for another quick checkup, and Kaji was a healthy and slim 7 lbs. :)

Most grow much longer.....up to 18 months.

My boys were smaller until about 18 months actually! Fletcher was 6lbs and Dex was 4lbs. Then they had a growth spurt around 18 months and Fletcher was 9lbs and Dexter was 5.5lbs. NOW.... they are 7 years old and a little more 'fluffy' than they should be.... Fletcher is 13lbs (Vet would like to see him at 11lbs) and Dexter is 7.5 and he should be 6.5lbs.

At 9 weeks they were 2.2lbs and 2.0lbs.
