Question: How big is a Yorkie-Poo going to get? I have a yorkie-poo, she is about 5 months and almost 5lbs. Im afraid she's going to be a beast! haha. I would like to know if anybody knows how big they usually tend to get..and how to determine their weight..i hear your supossed to double the weight at 3/4 months and that's what they usually are? It's all new and confusing to me.. I've searched online and can't find much info. I figured maybe one of ya'll can help me out! :D |
Do you know the size and weights of the parents? It's certainly no guaratee but the puppies usually won't get much bigger than the biggest parent. |
Well I was told about 10lbs. Of course Moose just went to the Vet sat, and at 3months she's hitting 3.5lbs. So maybe their weight equally their age :D Just kidding. But yeah do you have any idea the size of the parents, that's usually a good way to determine. So here's a question for you, does your baby have looooong legs? The vet told me moose looks like a giraffe (which is my fav. wild animal so no big there). I haven't really ever seen any other yorkie-poos so I don't know if the leg thing is a normal or if moose is just taking after me!! |
Hello! My Tess is a YorkiPoo and she is now 6 lbs at almost 4 months. (I swear she doesn't look or feel that big to me!) She is not NEAR as big as my sister's 10 lb. Maltese, so maybe the vet's scale is wrong. But, anyway, that is how big she is .... Have a great day! |
Do you know if the breeder has had any previous litters? Often times you can ask them what the full size of pups range is to get an idea, also knowing the size of the parents can help alot too. |

One of my yorkies, Rocky, was supposed to be 7 pounds and he is 11!! Sometimes you just never know, he is such a great dog and I am so glad he is this big, he actually has the personality of a lab, he LOVES his ball and toys and loves to run and swim. Haley on the other hand was 2.6 pounds when we got her at 6 months and isnt much bigger, maybe a pound. It is really hard to tell with mixed breeds from what I Have seen but I have noticed that small dogs usually stay smaller and large dogs seem to keep growing, so the double their weight at 3 mos. doesnt work as well ;) She is already 5 months so she shouldnt be THAT THAT much bigger, but you never know. We got our maltese at 4 months and she was only 1.6 pounds, now she is 4 pounds! I think with all the lovin in our house they just get big which is fine with me because they enjoy playing a lore more :) |
Sorry to butt in but when I read the title of your thread I thought you meant "How big does a yorkies poo poo get" LOL! I was ready to tell you that it really doesn't get that big and is really easy to clean up :p |

Oh no!! LOL that is so funny, I thought the SAME thing! |
I have a Yorkie/Poo that my daughter bought for me almost 2 years ago, and she was told he would probably weigh 8 lbs. as an adult but no more than 10 lbs.! Well, at this time, he now weighs 22 lbs! Not exactly what I had in mind but when you get them at 8 weeks old, you get attached and size doesn't really matter! She knew absolutely nothing about the people she got him from, and YES, he does have LONG legs! I tell everyone he wouldn't look half as big if his legs weren't so long! Oh well....I love him anyway! Him & Drake play great together.....Drake is a full-blooded Yorkie that weighs 2 lbs. at 6 months old! Good luck with yours! :-) |
LOL! AIMEE Glad I wasn't the only one! This is probably none of my business aimee but I am curious....are you a moderator? And if you are, do you get paid for doing this? If the answer is yes, HOW WONDERFUL FOR YOU! If that is too personal....just ignore me.....I've had too much time on my hands this morning...had WAY too much coffee and been butting in on other peoples threads :eek: SOrry, but I sure have enjoyed YT today! |
Oh trust me - it would take more than THAT to offend me ;) lol Yes, I'm a moderator, it's a volunteer position, which is perfect. I'm a stay at home mommy with the time to help out :) |
I started giggling when I read the title, and thought my goodness just how big of a mess does this poor Mum have to clean up. Thanks for the images in my warped mind. |
Thanks aimee for not making me feel nosey :D ! It's great to be a stay at home mommy! I am too :) BTW, you are doing a terrific job! |

1 Attachment(s) Here's a picture....not a very good one though! Tomorrow I will take one specifically for showing you what he looks like, instead of just a "casual" picture! |
AAAHHHHH! He's cute and very dark! How adorable! |
My friend has a yorki poo and he weighs about 9 lbs. I'm sure it totally dependent on the size of the parents. Poodles come in several different sizes. Tucker's Mom |
Mine is 8 months old and already 15,5 pounds.. :D |
2 Attachment(s) My yorkipoo is 10 1/2 years old and weighs 8lbs, but could stand to lose a lb or 1 1/2lbs. He is by far the best dog we have ever had. His mom was a white poodle and his dad was a yorkie - he is absolutely adorable and super super smart! Here is Jaxon-he is not long legged, but the second pic makes him look like it..LOL |
1 Attachment(s) Mine's called Nina Hagen.. Her father is a white and brown yorkie and har mother a black yorkipoo |
