| Biggest puppy ok so i knew my male puppy was fat but yesterday i took to the vet for 12 wek shots and he's 4 lbs already yikes.lol. mind you he was 1lb 16oz when i got him . so i'm thinking he will be about 9lb grown? it bothers me that people breed them to sale to people making them think thbey won't be so big but i still love them and princess is 9lb so they will be about the same size! anyone else have big puppys? maybe it's in part that they have food available at all times? i hope he stays the darker colour also. fat boy truffle & princess http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2023/img3137vx3.jpg |

| My Chachi was only 1 lb 4oz at 8 weeks and he is 10 lbs now so you never know how they are going to grow. He is 10 lbs of pure love though

| Just more to love. Buddy was 3.5lbs at 14weeks. He is now 13.7lbs. however, he does not have available food during the day. He is just big. He is taller and longer. He was pure black and tan and is still changing. Now he is cooper and turning silver. Yorkies seem so unpredictable in size and color is seems. The larger ones seem to have better health than the little ones for some reason. Good luck with him. |

| My Ruby is bigger but HONESTLY ... Just as sweet and cuddly. I actually LIKE that she feels sturdy when I pick her up

| It's true, you just never know with these guys - they all seem to have varying growth spurts and growth rates. Yours may have had an early growth spurt and could stop growing early - who knows?? Regardless, 9lbs is a great size for a pup!

So apparently the "doubling their 12 week weight" theory is not too reliable. LOL | |

| big puppies We got Buddy over the weekend, he's 5 months and weighs 9 lbs already. I'm hoping he turns out to be a real whopper. It's funny seeing him with my other two who are average size I guess at 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 lbs. They are special in their own way and we love them all no matter their size. Carol

| Aww he's a teapot! The more to love! I wish Zoey weighed a little more, I get scared when she wants to play rough with me. |
