My BIG baby! well, i dont have pics, but my Morkie baby, Rex, is 5 monthes old. we went to the vet and he weighs a wopping 7.5 lbs. I asked the vet and he said that Rex will most likely be 13-14 lbs!!! GRRRR! the lady i bought him from told me he would be 7-8 lbs at full growth! oh well i wonuldn't trade him in for anything, especially being a little "big" :animal-sm :animal-sm How about u? hoew much does ur baby weigh?? Do Maltese's usually weigh this much?? is this a Maltese trait to weigh so much?? |

Usually , a maltese weight between 3 to 7 pounds but as in Yorkies there are some heavier . |
o well my pup is my baby, i love him...more to cuddle ;) |
Your story sounds like my story with Bentley. He was supposed to be 5 to 7 lbs and he weighs 12 pounds. Proably about two pound overweight but still. THere is no way in the world that we could love him any more if he were smaller:) There is something about the fact that he got 12 pounds that makes me love him in a way that I can't even explain. When I look at him, all I see is a puppy that has given me the most uncondtional love! He will always be a baby to me:) |
i usto have 2 maltese females and they were both 4 lbs. each! i really miss them maltese are very good dogs too. they would have loved coco. |
:D :D thanks for all of the replies ...aww my Rexxy went into his crate to sleep,without me locking him in.! u might not think so...but for Rex, this is a BIG deall :D :D ;) |

Because of how Tristan looks and his size, I've started calling him Andrew (around my parents, not him, because he might get confused) because he looks like the dog from Mary Poppins! |
Doh, I got so caught up in memories I forgot to write Congratulations on getting Rex. I hope you post some pictures soon. Morkies are so cute. |

That is GREAT! Andrew is my son's name ;) He was a biggin' when he was born - 10lbs 10 oz! :eek: My mix, Sandy is 14 lbs, and Tia (5 months) just topped the scales at 4 lbs 2 oz! :) You would NEVER think there was such a difference between just 10 pounds, but it really is amazing! ;) |
Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Can't wait to see pic's of Rex |
That's how I was when I brought Leila home. I saw the parents, I saw the AKC paperwork, they assured me, 5-7 lbs... My little moose weighs 11.5 lbs and not a bit of fat on her! I used to yell at her "QUIT GROWING!!!!" LOL. I feel bad sometimes because people will see me with the two girls and they always assume that Leila is "the male" because she is bigger... Hello, does the pink barrette in her hair and the hot pink Coach collar mean nothing??? What about the hot pink rhinestones I adhered to her pink heart shaped ID tag? Hee hee! |
Wow I have never seen a yorkie that big I would love to see a picture of a big yorkie. can't wait to see pictures :) |
toby was 3 lbs at 3months 4 lbs at 4 months and at 5 months he was 8 lbs :eek: now he is probably 10 or 11.... he is almost 8 months old now |
Oreo is now 3 lbs @ 6 months (he will be 6 months this may 12th) Ginger is now 4.5 lbs @ 6 months (well going to be 6 months may 16th) you better show us some pictures when you get them! |

She's VERY active and agile - LOVES to play more than her smaller & yonger sister ....I love the fact that she's so sturdy she can play like she does.. Oh.... and Chanel lots of hair so I'm guessing that counts for a pound Chanel is on the LEFT - she's 10 lbs....Cheri is 6 lbs on the right - see ? not much difference !! |
Anyway , big or small they are all adorable . My first Yorkie named Maia was looking like an Australian Terrier . She was black and tan with a white spot on her chest . She gave me the best 18 years with an extremely faithful friend . As I always say , Yorkshire Terriers are once in a lifetime dogs . |

I have the opposite problem - Tucker won't grow!! He's only 2.5 pounds at almost 5 months! I thought he would be much bigger. I'm not worried about his health, because he eats a lot, and he's actually a little chunky - his frame is just SO short and small!! I want him to get a little bigger. Maybe I'll start him on steroids and lifting weights!! JK!!! :cool: |
When I got Bailey I saw his parents Mom was 7pds, and Dad was about 5 pds.. so Im figuring,,, Ya thats a good average.... WELL,,, his now 11 months old and 9.8 pounds! :eek: ,,, Ya just NEVER know,, but I can say hes done growing he hasnt changed size or weight in months! :thumbup: |

You can see mine in my avatar... it's funny, they don't look so different in pictures! |
I have a 1-year-old Shorkie (Shih Tzu/Yorkie) named Ruby who is 15 lbs ...the "guidelines for Yorkie weight is 3-7 lbs, and for Shih Tzus it is 9-16 lbs...so she is barely in that range...we were looking for something smaller (we always babysit my in-laws' Yorkie, Scrappy, he is 10 lbs, fat...he should be 8 lbs) but fell in love with Ruby...now, we like that she is bigger because we can play rougher with her (She LOVES it) and she is just small enough to sit in our laps :p We still love our Scrappy, of course... |
My Stomper is about 10 pounds at 5 months. I was told he would be 8 full grown. he will probably be around 13 pounds. I don't mind. He is pretty much potty trained and has great teeth - very common with bigger yorkies. Originally, I wanted one at 8 pounds total, but I am very happy that I have a big yorkie! |
Rex! Rex! Oh no today Rexs got loose, out of the yard, ran in the house and ran outside thorugh the front door! i stampeded down the steps and ran straight outside! unluckily for him, the gate was closed so he couldnt get out. if a yorkie smaller in weight tried this he would hae beein through the bars and out of site in a flash |

I felt so bad I wasn't here - he has severe acute emphysema and is on a lung transplant list ...and he had to chase this jackrabbit thru the neighbors yards.....needless to say I got a phone call to get my butt home ! Whew - They can really scare you with how fast they are ! |
Feel Better Soon |
Rex found a new game. he now pulls down my curly hair and watches in amazement as it springs back up! :) |
