Size guesses? ;)
 

I'm still out of town w/ my new baby from Hungary.
I wanted to get some guesses on her weight at maturity! I love playing this "game" and know it's just a guess, I've got a good idea, but wanted to know what others on here thought.
My little girl is now 13 weeks and she weighs in at 1 lbs, 7 oz.

What are your thoughts for her at maturity? Do you think she'll reach the 5 lbs mark?

Thanks in advance! ;)

I'll get some photos up when I get home-:aimeeyork

My quess would be 2lbs 14 ounces. I got this by doubling the weight which is what you normally do at twelve weeks.

I don't think she'll get to the 5lb marker. I would guesstimate her mature weight at age 1.5 to be 3.2 - 3.9lbs.

Wow! That is tiny I have a pup that at 12wks weighed 1lb 6oz.:)

Hi, my Isabella was 1.4lbs at 4 mnths old & is 3lbs now at 1yr old. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I know this is off the wall, but, is this you:

http://www.yorkie.org/dogs/pictures.html

Reason I ask, I thought I knew who you were, and I know who the owner of this site is. You have one of her pics as your avatar, so I was curious. Did you get a pup from her?:confused:
Like I said, I thought your name was CJ, but this through me off.

That is Cynthia Kages site...

I'm familiar with the site...I visit there often to look at the pictures...her dogs are gorgeous! She used to have a pic of one standing on some rocks with a BEAUTIFUL coat...so pretty...

My little boy was 1.7 at 3 months and now he is 16 months old and weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces.

interesting...
 

I'm sure she is very cute. She sounds like she'll be tiny...though I know you are always adamant in every post about textbook breed standards. I hope she doesn't encounter any complications! Looking forward to seeing pictures.

That is the same picture! A very precious pup!:p

btw...My guess is 3 1/2 lbs max.

I would guess about 3 pounds.

Thanks for the guesstimates! I hate that she'll be so tiny, but I'm thinking that you're all right. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm hoping for 4 pounds. Best possible scenario, she'd be 5, but I'm pretty confident that won't happen, unfortunantely. I love her the way she is, it would just be nice and would open up a few more doors for her. In the way of complications, so far genetically she isn't predisponed to anything. I'm waiting on the bloodwork I've had done on her for anything currently being wrong. Heart/eye/lungs/joints all check out so far. We'll see. I don't feel "out of the woods" yet until I get the results back on the elective work I had done on her.
In either case, thanks again! ;)



BamaFan, I thought I cleared this up w/ you. I'm not CJ. Although now that you've brought up that name to me in a PM and now on here CJ did contact me on another forum. It's interesting how you make accusations about myself when you aren't even a 100% that you're correct. Just relax. I don't know what beef you and CJ have going, but don't involve me.

In regards to my avatar:
THIS is what is said on the same page as my avatar on her site:

"Cynthia Kage

---> This was taken verbatum from the same page as where I obtained my avatar. As far as I know if she changes her legal statement on the site, it isn't retroactive and so I won't have to delete it. If she would like me to not use it, that's her call and she can reach me at: topsredhead@yahoo.com if you wouldn't mind guiding her attention to this post, that'd be great. All pups are cute, this one too. It just happens to be a good shot.

Sorry, but 1) I don't remember ever having PM'ing you regarding anything, 2) if you have not noticed, pictures being stolen and represented has been a concern of members here in the past, which is why your avatar, not being your own picture, caught my attention. Do a search on 'scam' and you'll see why. I think the "please do not steal my images" at the bottom of Cynthia's page should speak for itself...seems you omitted that line from your quote.:cool:

I think it would be in everyone's best interest if neither you or I mentioned again members who have been banned from this forum...more than once. I do apologize for mistaking who you were and accusing you of that.

My baby (13.5lbs) is also from Hungary! How did you get her?
Good luck with her. Buddy was 3.5 at 3 1/2 mos.

But please refer to her home page where it does, in fact, ask you not to use her images. http://www.yorkie.org/index.html

Is it just me? Doesn't anyone else find it disturbing and unscrupulous to steal someones photo from the Internet? And then to do YT the disservice of posting it here in an avatar as if you owned both the dog and the image...:thumbdown

Personally, I have to wonder why anyone would feel the need to be so deceptive, and would feel the need to question all other posts/images...

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Well said SherryLynn

Leslie, you post with such authority on showing/breeding protocol, the importance of adhering to the AKC standard and ethics yet youre purchasing a puppy that is doubtful to make weight for a sound show contender:confused: youre asking for advice on weight :eek: and finally using another breeders puppy in your avatar:thumbdown

I have had my pictures stolen, more importantly used in scams representing my puppies as their own home bred for sale! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

This thread contradicts most everything youve posted in the past! Things like this make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!:(

These were the situations I was referring to. I remember the whole ordeal w/ your pics being stolen and the Nigerian scammers. I remember how mad and upset EVERYONE here got and how they participated in "scamming the scammers" and how everyone was po'd that your pictures were being stolen from your site. :mad: :thumbdown

It is very sad to think that someone here is following in those footsteps.:(

I just wonder why you are using a picture from a US breeder's site without permission when you have said that you could not find any quality puppies from the US. I'm sure another puppy picture from a dog in Hungary or where ever would be more appropriate for you avatar.

Did you buy this pup as a show prospect?

I think you're looking at about 3.5 lbs, though sometimes they have ways of surprising you. :)

I don't know why everyone is jumping on this person, but I don't think she asked the question "do you like my avitar" I thinks she asked about the size of a puppy.

YorkieK9Trainer, if you run into problems with Cindy using her picture, email me, I'll be glad to share some pretty puppy pictures with you you are free to use.

IN fact, here is a pretty lil fellow of my breeding who passed away. He is owned by God, and I have a feeling God doesn't have any copyrights, so if you would like to use his picture, I would be honored to have his little spirit live on.

oops..pic attached.

Capone was such a beautiful baby.. :( I am sorry for your loss Becki..

YorkieK9Trainer "YOU HAVE AS MUCH RIGHT TO ASK QUESTIONS ON THIS FORUM AS ANYONE ELSE!" After all this is a PUBLIC FORUM! The ones of you that seem to dislike someone than move on to the next post and leave their post alone and let someone else that maybe able to answer their question in a polite way answer it!

Thank you Melanie. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to post that picture, I've been crying ever since. Especially now that his mommy is expecting, I just want one puppy from her.. CAPONE.

yorkieK9trainer, I have a girl in my home that is spay now that came from Hungary.. She was 1.8 lbs at 12 weeks of age.. She topped out at 5.3 lbs at 1 year of age.. Do not give up hope, she still could reach a comfortable weight for you~

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Alas, you are correct: This is a PUBLIC forum. We should all remember that we have no control over what other individuals post and frequently we get unsolicited answers.:rolleyes: Just part of it, I'm afraid. But hey, we're all big kiddies and understand that, right?:)

I just find it silly that someone ask for advice about let's say, her hair color. Why in the hell would you give her advice about her car??? You know? The two just had NOTHING to do with each other. :rolleyes:
