newbie qs hi. i have been reading a lot of threads and quite a few people say their yorkie weighs abou 4 pounds or 8 pounds.are these owners of teacup yorkies,because buddy weighs about 11.5 pounds and will weigh more when full grown. |
Hello and welcome! Anything under 7 pounds is considered "standard" yorkie here in the states:)...no such thing as a "teacup" it's still a yorkie just a very small one(for those who use the term I'm guessing:)). How old is Buddy? There is a "teapot"'club on this forum for "out of standard size" yorkies(over 7 lbs).:D |
Not teacups, just standard size my boys are 4 lbs and the other 3.5 lbs at 5 months. The standard is for dogs under 7 lbs. those bigger are just not standard weight but still yorkies. |
ok thanks for all info the vet said buddy will weigh 5kg (12 pounds) when full grown but he may be a bit of something else |
Teacup was word made up by bad breeders and puppy mills to jack up there prices of pups there is no such thing. The standard it not to exceed 7 pounds so any weight 7 pounds and under is just standard. |
