marcerella02 · 12-19-2006, 06:40 PM

Layla's dad was 3.5 lbs and her mom was 6.. so i knew she'd fall in there somewhere... we were jsut at the vet yesterday and she is whopping 5 lbs

it's hard to believe because she is so tiny... but i knew buying her that the range of weight could be anywhere.. the vet said that should be it for growing.. .but it doesn't matter either way.. i paid the money that i paid for a healthy puppy.. and tha'ts what i got

Our baby Nala is 17 weeks and just weighed in at 2 pounds 2 ounces yesterday at her checkup. I hope she gets to at least 4 lbs.

Bella is 10 months and is 3.82 lbs.

Lynn Teaver · 05-18-2007, 04:55 PM

My Gin-Gin will be 2 yrs old on July 17th and she is 4lbs. 3 oz.

But I wouldn't care if she was 14 lbs. I would still be crazy about her..

My new puppy Mckenzie is 12 weeks old and at her last visit w/the vet the day after I got her, she was nearly 2 lbs, although the breeder said she was 1.5. The vet did say she had a full tummy though, so I'm guessing 1.8 lbs is her 3 month weight. I hope she'll be a 4 lb baby. Her breeder mom said she would be shocked if she made it anywhere close to 5.. she predicts 3 1/2 but said you can never be sure.

There is no such thing as a mini yorkie. If your yorkie does end up under 7 pounds, it will be standard size, just like all the other yorkies under 7 pounds.

Archie's Mom · 05-18-2007, 08:16 PM

My Archie is more than a year old now and for a long time there he was 3.5 pounds. Our last couple of vet visits, however, he has porked up to 4.2 pounds and seems to be holding at that weight. I don't usually think about him being super-tiny until I have him out for a walk and passersby marvel at how little he is -- or I see him in a photo in relation to people or outdoor surroundings and I am shocked by what a shrimp he is! I love that I can pick him up with one hand and do something else with the other! But, keeping it in perspective -- Yorkies are small dogs, period -- no matter if they are 4 pounds or 9 pounds -- in the dog world that's sooooooo small!

ChiliPepper · 05-18-2007, 08:27 PM

At 22 weeks Chase weighed in at 3lbs. on Friday.

YorkieTime07 · 05-18-2007, 08:31 PM

Nathan is 7 months and 3 lbs..his dad is a 4lb yorkie and his mom is about 6-7 ilbs...the breeder feels he will be the size of his dad cause he sure looks like him!!!

So we will see!!! Now he was the smallest in the litter and his sisters are huge!!!!!

mizzwanned · 05-18-2007, 08:41 PM

Teddy is 10 months old and 9 lbs. The breeder said he would be 3 lbs....guess not

lol I don't know how big his parents were

London is 2 lbs and she is about 8 months old. Her mom is around 4.5 lbs and her dad is around 3.

You really just never know how big they will be but can only estimate.

She is so little and slow.

that is what i do with Nathan!! the cat collar with the bell...it also helps me to know if he is getting into mischief if I don't hear that bell ringing!!!

Gypsy was 4.4 lbs at 1 yr 4 mos at the vets last week.
She is my forever puppy.

stedmansmommy · 05-19-2007, 08:51 AM

Both of my babies are 4 lbs and under. Stedman (my male) is 15 months old and weighs 4 lbs. And Tatum (my female) is over 6 months old and weighs around 2 lbs.

Sukoshi's Mom · 05-19-2007, 09:45 AM

Sukoshi is 8 months old and weighs 3 pounds, 1 ounce, although the vet told us last Friday that she's overweight for her size

and needs to lose a little. It's amazing to me that a 3.1 pound dog could be OVERweight, but I don't want her little heart or organs to be overworked, so she's dieting now. He said I should always be able to slightly feel her ribs, and I can't anymore, so I'm keeping an eye on that so she doesn't lose too much.

Cookie2 · 05-19-2007, 10:12 AM

Cookie is 3yrs old and weighs 3 lbs.He stopped growing around 8-9 months and only gained about 2 oz. by the age of 1yrs old.

Angel is my new addition and he is 4 months old tomorrow.He already weighs 2 lbs and 1 oz! I'm thinking he will be around 3.5 lbs full grown. He has so much hair that he looks fatter than Cookie! lol
I know the breeder told me he would be around 3 lbs full grown but I never felt that was going to be the outcome. I just saw how well he ate and I doubted it ! lol If your breeder guaranteed that his weight would NOT be bigger than 3 lbs and you got it in writing on how much she would refund, then I think you should get some $ back. But many breeders are honest and only say " This is an estimate according to the puppy's current weight at 8 weeks/12 weeks and the parents sizes...

Here he is now:
