Pearl goes between 2.4 and 2.7 depending if I'm trying to stuff her with cheese to fatten her up

She is 11 months old.

My Jasmine is 2 pounds, 12 ounces. She is 1 year and 9 months old. She is my avatar picture.

My Butch is 3 pounds. He is a year old... he looks smaller than my Jasmine because his body is more compact.

Badger is 3 pounds 8 ounces or something at 6 months and three weeks. We don't expect him to be more than four pounds full grown. I always find threads like this slightly uncomfortable because it seems to me that very small sized Yorkies are the only desirable type of Yorkie nowadays and everyone seems to be in competition about who has the smallest. I don't believe, personally, that a Yorkie under 3.5 pounds full grown is a good thing and I think it's a shame that the breed is deliberately being bred down to below this size because common sense dictates that this puts these dogs at risk of a lot of health problems and ultimately compromises the breed on the whole

I had a lady stop me yesterday admiring my little yorkie. Turns out she lives the next street down and has 5 yorkies! She said she has a 6 mo. old that is 1 lb 13 oz. Here I bought a yorkie many states away when practically in my backyard there some were(although she didn't say she had any puppies for sale). She wants me to stop by when she's older so she can see what she looks like grown up.

She loved the color of mine. I didn't luck out so well with mats and gave her a modified puppy cut...regular face, long feet and just cut to the silver color on her coat. My husband said she looks like she's wearing little ugg boots.

I took my Lola to puppy kindergarten yesterday and she was extremely popular. Since I carry her she didn't do so well on her leash and turns out I'm the only "bad mommy" who lets their baby sleep in bed with them

Don't care, I'm spoiling her rotten anyway.

I know I looked for a yorkie around 4lbs because I figured too tiny would not necessarily mean a long life or healthy, it'd be a shot in the dark. My Lolas parents are 2 1/2 and 3 lbs. I fell in love with a picture of her and it said in the ad that she'd be too small for breeding, which was fine by me. When I read some of the health problems I'm just very thankful she's healthy.

When I got my baby we had no idea she was only going to be 2.9 pounds. Both her parents weighed a little over 5 pounds. So, my breeder does not breed for tinies it just turned out that way. And she is a VERY HEALTHY 2.9 pounder and I LOVE HER DEARLY. It's just a little hard to cuddle with her because I'm scared I'm going to crush her

.

I'm going to get another girl puppy from her and hopefully she will get to 4 pounds I think that is a nice sized yorkie. So,I'm keeping my fingers crossed I get her on Wensday of next week.

BLowry · 07-22-2006, 07:12 AM

Sadie is 5.5 lbs. EVERYBODY that sees her thinks she is soooo small. I think she is just the right size...I would be so nervous with a tiny 2 pounder around..They way yorkies jump and run around I'd worry about broken bones..

When I got my baby I didnt know either. She came from a 5 pound female, although her daddy was 3 and a half pounds.
I have no idea how much she will weigh full grown .. she is now 7 and half months old and weighs 2 pounds 8 ounces... I am hoping to later get a girl that is around 4 to 5 pounds. Then maybe if my Vet gives the okay I could breed her... beings it "seems" Peaches will not be able to breed a litter.

But that is fine with me... she is my lil sweetheart and I love her just the way she is... She is so dear and sweet!!!

I agree, as much as I think some of the smaller yorkies are cute, I don't really like the look, and I don't think most of them are really healthy..

Ricki · 07-22-2006, 08:19 AM

My Gooshu weighed in at 2 pounds 4 oz at the vet 2 weeks ago. He is a neutered male, but I love him. He has such personality and is very healthy. The problem with runts is they could actually stand to stay inside mom and cook a few more days, but when the rest are ready they don't have a choice. Gooshu did not have the indentation to hold his knees in. We just took him and had one leg fixed. He is doing great. We will have the other done in 4 months. He is such a brave little guy. I had the vet run a bio-enzyme on him and she said other than the legs he is perfect and should live a lot of years. I was a little worried something else might show up later. He is worth all the money I put into him! I bought him from a breeder 4 years ago as I wanted to have a smaller male stud. She would have given me my $1,500. back after I discovered his problem, but she would have took him also. (I did not know what she would do with him, so I kept him and had him neutered). The vet said he thought his problems were runt problems and would probably not be genetic if it was not in the line, but I couldn't chance it. Check him out. Wouldn't you keep him to?

yorkieangel · 07-23-2006, 07:01 AM

LOL My tiny Pearl is in no way FRAGILE...At least SHE doesn't think so~!!! She rough houses with the big dogs and is the highest jumper and fastest runner I have. Her sister Ruby is 7 pounds and they both came from the same litter. Pearl just stayed tiny though. I had NO IDEA when I got them what size they would turn out as i reserved them at 1 day old

I don't care whether your yorkie is big or little if they are going to have health problems they are going to have them.

Stop hateing on the tinies you know they are GOREGEOUS. I don't really like the big ones look (sarcasim intended). Actually, I like how ALL yorkies look they are all adorable and cute

P.S.
Mine is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo healthy and has had NO health problems. She is the perfect yorkie, well for me that is
