Yorkies Who Made the Chart! You all inspire me and I love this very friendly informational forum! This first week is the how big will he grow obsession and then it's time to move on as I enjoy this Pooky-Bear! He's so dang CUTE! Question: Been discussing on a separate thread those who's pups who were at the 12-13 week point when the charts state we can double the weight, add a 1/2-1 pound to know the adult weight of our pup. So my purpose of this thread is to hear from the Yorkie moms and pops whose Yorkie made the charts! Meaning, you started weighing your pup and the pup arrived at it's "true" adult weight which was what the chart said. Please stay on topic and refrain from arguing starting comments stating, "each is individual, you can't tell," which aren't welcome because some of these pups do arrive and I'd like to see what their owners have to say...just interesting. Adult Yorkies who grew into the predicted weight according to the charts, no weight limit here, just according to the charts or the 12-13 week doubling game. Please tell us what your puppy's age & weight when you began charting this out and how old were they when you assumed they were adult? If you want to include the size of parents, awesome. After this we can write a new e book, lol jk ;) Research is fun though! What a wealthy basket of info on this forum! |
Sorry to say that on a post board you cant tell people what to post if it follows the rules......... |
No arguing there :yelrotflm Doesn't look as if it happens much by the response. Thanks for those who refrained, even though the rules of the forum state you can ;) |

Going to look at your other thread. All I can aay about myyorke is at 7.5 weeks (not 12 weeks) she weighed 1.8 pounds. i might have her 12 week weight somewhere. As an adult she fluctuates between 5.8 and 6.8 pounds (ideal weight is probably right around 6.4 or 6.8). I ave no idea if she followed the weight carts (you can do the math if you want). It never mattered to me. |
Very interesting question.... I doubt that too many people are really that involved in size and weight but more about health and training. I myself did not keep track on any chart the age and weight of my dogs. Except for the puppies that I raise. Which is important to see to it that they are gaining an appropriate amount of weight in order to remain healthy. I think most of us myself includes are more concerned with getting and keeping a happy, healthy well socialized pup. |

My Bambi charted to be 4 1/2 to 5 lbs (she was 3.4 ozs at birth & was 2 lbs 5ozs at 13 weeks) and she weighed in at the vet's last Saturday at 5.2 lbs...she'll be 2 yrs in March. I loved tracking her weight too! So fun to see if it pans out :D just like charting the skin kiddos |
Sugar and Curri are both OFF THE CHARTS regarding the amount of joy and love they bring into my home :thumbup: Are you thinking of breeding? |
My Orion was charting to be 5lbs, he is now 15lbs of solid muscle! you can't predict the weight of pups, they are all different! |

My Jilly was just under 2 1/2 lbs. at slightly over 4 months when I got her and her grown weight was 3 lbs. At the risk of breaking your rules for this thread and sounding trite, here goes: So much affects each individual puppy such as medical conditions, level of activity, quality and amount of food intake, stomach and bowel contents at weighings, setting and maintenance of the scales, you really can't predict size outcome with any level of certainty. You can just about always predict a Yorkshire Terrier will grow up to be beautiful in every way, loving, loyal, fun, highly determined, intelligent, a best friend and completely irreplaceable given half a chance - no matter its adult size. |

speaking of people...nutrition and food quality has so much to do with how people grow...I live near some of the most poverty you've ever seen. In the news this past week a baby died of malnutrition. It's heart breaking. But I'm looking at this from my back's point of view as well. I want him healthy but the smallest healthy weight he can be, which will be best for my back. If that's 6 pounds, it will be a challenge for me but not impossible. That is the highest I think he'd get but like the vet recommended, don't feed him a lot. I refuse to starve him, that's sick! But if he'd also be just as healthy at 4 pounds, than heck ya, I want to feed him in that direction. Right now, I'm feeding him according the Royal Canine chart for his weight category. |
I really do not understand the obsession over his size and a six pound dog is not HUGE |
