Close up photos of Yorkies can sometimes be misleading. I can tell you my 5 pounder reached that milestone at the age of around 14 or 15 months of age. I was thrilled when she finally got there. I was expecting a 8 to 9 pound dog and was exasperated trying to keep my tiny tot from trying to injure herself by climbing on furniture and jumping as though she had springs in her legs like a cat.
Anyway, two dogs can look to be much the same size but what is under that fur can have a lot of variance. Some have more bone mass than others wile some have more muscle or fat. Once five pound dog can be longer and taller than another as well. I really think that some of these estimates of what size your pup will be at adulthood can set an owner up for disappointment. I hope you have a wonderful relationship with your pup no matter what size it matures at. |
