| Chewy is 4.2 pounds at eight months..... but I have to say... as far as I am concerned, even if they get to be 15 pounds or so that is still a SMALL dog. I know standard is 7 pounds or under and I was told chewy would be around 7 pounds...but he is from a pet shop and I knew they didn't know how big he would be. i can't help but think that size is focused on way to much... As long as the baby is healthy wouldn't that be enough to make us all happy?

| Hi, I have a 16 month old yorkie, Dylan. He's 6 pounds and I love every pound and inch of him. I was told he was going to be 4 pounds, but I'm glad he's bigger. I think I would have been so nervous with a tiny dog. I would like to get him a friend, another yorkie. Do you think is better to get another one when he was smaller or do I still have time? I would like for Dylan to get along with the new one. Please advise |

| my Tootie was "supposed" to be 8-9 lbs.... he is 16 lbs and WONDERFUL! Hopey is 4lbs, 9 ozs... I am much more nervous with her, since she is so tiny.. I love them both, just the same and wouldnt trade either one of them for anything. d

| My Rocky is 3 1/2 pounds (5 years old), my Jasmine is 3.4 pounds (2 years old), my Butch is 3.3 pounds (a little over a year old), my Bitsy is 3.6 pounds (a little over a year old). None of them I would consider "fragile".

| Debbie was 2.7 pounds at 7 months when she was spayed and 8 months later only weighed 2.9 pounds at 15 months. Some yorkies are almost full grown at 6 months while others keep getting bigger.I think it's very hard to gauge. Some yorkies grow quickly early on and then some have a growth spurt after that. As they mature, they may also fill out and get a little heavier. All you can do is wait and see. It would be interesting to see everyone report on age and weight to see if there was some kind of pattern. |

| Jaden is 4 pounds and is two years old. My new baby girl that I am getting is expected to be right under 4 pounds. I do agree that the smaller ones are harder to take care of. You worry about them so much, at least I do. I am constantly keeping an eye on Jaden making sure he doesn't jump off anything to high or climb up on something he shouldn't and when other dogs are around that weigh more than him I can't just let him roam or let them play together because he will get hurt. Also, I always have to have a coat or a sweater on him when we're outside because he gets cold. I love him to death and love his size but there are benefits to having a "bigger" yorkie say a 5-7 pound one. |

| When I got Keifer at 3 months he was 3 pounds. Now he is 6 months and still is under 4 pounds, he got bigger but not much heavier. Guess he won't make the 5 to 6 pounds that was predicted. But he is healthy and strong so I am very happy. |

To be honest, I am more frustrated with the size the breeder told me she would be and the price I paid for her. But I guess this is my fault and should have done more research. This is my first puppy and first real pet, so I just wanted things to be in the "as expected" scenario. But I am very happy with her regardless of her size. I agree with you though of the constant worriness of having a small pup. I wouldn't be able to enjoy all the things I enjoy with Coco, such as running on the beach and squeezing her harder, dancing with her....it's great! I'm looking forward on seeing her grow up and change colors. She's getting prettier every time I look at her. | |
