My Puppies Weight Beau weighs 3.2 lbs today at 16 weeks exactly (tomorrow). Do you think he'll remain small, or at least under 5 lbs? |
yea I would like to know the same thing about Bentley he is 16 wks. too and weighs 3.2 lbs. I hope he stays small! |
They say to double the weight at 14 to 16 weeks and add a 1/2 pound! Just a rough estimate! Pat |
I've always read/heard double the 12 week weight. I also just recently read that at 4 months they are considered 60% grown, so I suppose you could do the math there, too. Doubling the 12 week weight would put Gracie at about 2.4 lbs. as an adult. (She's 2 lbs. now at 4 months, but at 3 months she was about 1.2 lbs) Figuring it the other way, adding 40% to her current weight, she'd be 2.8 lbs. fully grown, so it's fairly close any way you figure it! |
That would make Bentley and Beau both about 4.5 as adults, calculating the 60% grown, 40% to go theory. |
Not full grown Most yorkies continue to grow to some extent for the full year, going by the pups I have had and a breeder that I know, your pups should be around 5-6 pounds. My Benni was 2 pounds at twelve weeks and he weighs 6.8 pounds now full grown. |
Yea, I've always heard that yorkies are pretty much full grown around 6 months old too. I guess it makes sense that there are so many yorkies running around that are 9-10lbs, if they grow for that long... |
Schatzie weighed just a little more than that at 12 weeks, she was the runt. However now she is pushing 8 pounds. During last weekends gettaway, people approaching us to see Schatzie commented on how big she is. I think she's more long than big, kinda long like a weenie dog?? But it really did amaze me that I heard the same comments over and over again from strangers. And all these comments were by people who didn't even own Yorkie's...Strange deal to me really. I only saw one Yorkie that weekend out and about, however he/she was across the street and it was unsafe where we were to try to get over to the Yorkie to say hello. From what I could tell this Yorkie was on the bigger side too. And I sat and watched all the people giving it attention. Yorkie's are such attention getter's in public!! :cool: |
Since my matematical skills are not the greatest,c an someone help me figure out an estimate of my pups adult weight. He weighed 2.8 at 12 weeks and 3.2 at 16 weeks. Please..... |
My husband says you take the 12 week weight and double it and add 1/2 pound that would make your dog 5 1/2 lbs as an estimate. |
