Large Yorkies? Does anyone on here have a large yorkie? In October I adopted a 6 year old and she's 7 lbs but I just brought home a 2 month old who I believe is pretty large for a yorkie. This guy was just selling him on Craigslist because he was moving and I fell in love with his pictures. He's 10 weeks old and already weighs 3 lbs! His paws are bigger than my 6 year old's paws. Of course, I'll still love him just the same no matter how big he gets but I'm just curious how many people on here have a large yorkie. He was feeding the little guy canned Kibble and Bits so it's possible he's overweight already...not sure. He goes to my vet on Saturday....because of course he's behind on his vaccinations. I'm so excited about him...even if he end up being a giant lol. He's really taken to my 7 year old daughter, which makes me super happy. I will post pictures soon! |
I don't own a large Yorkie myself but my parents had a 14 lb Yorkie and we all loved him and he was super smart and handsome :) Congrats on your new guy! |
The little guy in my avatar picture weighs 12 pounds, and he's a 2 year old rescue. My first yorkie weighed 11 pounds. Just more yorkie to love! Diana |
Bubba and Sissy are 10 and 9lbs. When I got Bubba I was looking for a hefty because of the grand kids and a husband who pays so little attention he could trip over an elephant. They are both precious and cuddely and besides that the bigger they are, the more to keep you warm at night....believe me these two are like heating pads! |
My Magnus is 16.5 lbs. I've heard of yorkies getting to be big as 22 lbs! I have to say, Magnus is MUCH better to cuddle with... Totally awesome heating pads (like Margaritaville mentioned) that doesn't need any other source of power! |
I have two 17 pounders. At the age your pup is he can't be fat. |
I have two huge boys....17 pounders....they are great! Sturdy and energetic and just 10x bundle of Yorkie greatness! Be sure to have pup scanned for microchip....Craig's List is notorious for selling stolen dogs! |
Maddie in my avatar to the left is just shy 14 pounds |
I used to have two yorkies at around 12lbs, but my current girl is actually a little chunky at 11lbs (last weighed anyways) but her ideal weight is about 8-9lbs. She's still a "larger" yorkie cause she's so tall (if somewhat dainty structured) and above the standard, which is a good thing cause when I first got her she was so dainty/tiny and accident prone, I was actually relieved she gained a bit more size (was wanting a yorkie that was a little smaller than my past ones but no smaller than average, to me anything under 6lbs was just too small). |
Wow, thank you for all the responses, just shows how ignorant I am when it comes to their size. The guy who had him gave me all his CKC papers, vet records etc so I don't think he's stolen. Of course, I'll have them scan him for a microchip before I have one inserted myself. |

Our little guy is almost 10 months and just hit 9 lbs. I don't think he's done yet, but unsure how long they typically put on weight for :) We got him at 13 weeks and he was 3.4 lbs the day we brought him home. I love that he's not a smaller Yorkie. :love: |
If he mixed with another breed, I'd be very surprised. He looks like a yorkie pup to me. Good thing I'm not trying to show him or breed. I guess my 6 year old could be a mix since I adopted her without registration papers. |

Moki was 3lbs at 12 weeks. He's 6lbs 14 oz almost 3yrs old. Could lose a few oz but he is 10tall 10 long . Not to big not small. Upper end. Winnie is 16 weeks 2 lbs 2 oz . He sire and dam were both nice nice around 6lbs. really you never know till they are done growing. |
Ya, I guess at this point I have a ton of other more important things to worry over like potty training, crate training, behavior training, switching to a better food, grooming, socializing, and keeping him away from germs. Ah!!! Lol |
My passed 4 girls weights were one was 10 lbs, 2 were 13 lbs and my last girl was a beautiful sleek 17 lbs. My adopted boy is 12.6 lbs. I love the bigger yorkies they are sturdier and can he rough housed. I do have to admit when I see a lil 5 LB baby I flip out over them, so tiny (compared to my last 17LBer) and just too cute. But I do prefer the over standard size yorkie. |
chester is 10 pounds and is almost 12.5 years old, he is my boy |
My Duncan is 18 weeks old and he is now 8 lbs. 11 oz. When I got him at 10 weeks old, he was 4 lbs. Can anyone tell me when they usually stop growing and gaining weight? |
My new foster, Cleo is a slim 13 lbs. For his size I thought he was too skinny. Vet says no, his weight is perfect. I even had him checked for worms and parasites because I was worried. He's clean! Just had him neutered so hoping he gains a little. He looks like a Yorkie giant next to my little Hannah! |

I have two 17 pounders too. Love em just as they are. |
My sweet girl is 1 yr old and almost weighs 11 lbs. Her mom was 5 lbs and her dad was only 3 lbs. I am happy she is larger because I don't worry about her as much. My pup also came with those papers and I know she is a pure breed but it doesn't matter to me, I didn't even send them in because I am not going to show her, only spoil and love her :) |
Double post, sorry |
When i had boo weighed who s a year weighed 8lbs. Since he has been neutered he eats like a horse and is putting weight on im sure. |
Oscar was 4 lbs at 12 weeks . He is now 11 lbs @ 3 1/2 years ....:D |
