Who here has 4 lbs and below yorkies?

Sukoshi is overweight? Maybe she has a short compact body,lots of fluffy hair that makes it difficult to fee her ribs. I also find it hard to believe that a 8 month old at 3 lbs is considered overweight?...
Angel looks like a round tubby when he walks but when I put a shirt on him his chest/tummy area is much,much thinner .

My point is, my Coco is supposed to be 3.5-4 lbs, but she is 4 months now and is 3.5lbs already. I'm a little disappointed with what the breeder told me because Coco is not turning out to be small. I'm thinking maybe she'll slow down in her development, but I doubt it. Of course this doesn't change my feelings for Coco. I think she's who she is and I'm grateful, but I would love to get at least a third of my money back from that wretched breeder!!

So does everyone here have small yorkies or bigger yorkies? I'd like to know. Thanks!!

Buttercup was 3.1lbs at 4 and a half months old. After 5 months, he didn't grow much at all. He is not 16 months old and weighs 4.8lbs

Mari is just a little over 4# and is 2 yr. Angel is a little under 2# and will be 2 yr in June.

Angel is so sweet and tiny that she is truly an Angel Baby. I don't recommend a tiny like her to anyone that can't spend 24-7 with them. She can't go up and down steps, her little body and bones are so fragile that I fear she will break! But love her so much!!

Yep...according to the vet. She has a pretty small frame, so she's carrying her weight in her belly, and that's what the vet says is harmful. If she was longer and the weight was spread out, I guess it wouldn't be as bad a thing. Her "roundness" is definitely obvious when I give her a bath and her hair is flat, but even still, she seems tiny to me.

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.

I would be a little leary of any vet that put a puppy on a diet at 3lbs. She's still developing, and dieting is depriving her from nutrients. If I were you I'd get another opinion before I put my puppy on a diet... but that's just me.

on romeo's may 2 vet - he was 14 weeks - visit he weighed 3.45 pounds but i do not consider him "big" at all! as a matter of fact i am so happy with that weight. we did not want a tiny toy puppy that we had to be terrified of every move he made wondering what would snap and break with a simple movement. he will be 17 weeks this friday and he hasn't gained that much more weight.

what an adorable baby!!! Congrats!!!!

My Little Bit is 2.5lbs and is 3 years old. Her Mom & Dad are both 6lbs, she was not a runt either. They all were all about the same size when we bought her. Maybe an ounce or 2 different but she stayed small. Her sister is 5lbs. So you can never really be sure, you can only have an educated guess on what thier past litters have turned out to be.

when I bought coli they told me he would be 4 pounds, but at three months he was about 3.5 pounds and currently he weighs seven pounds. They say your suppose to doble the weight when three months and thats going to be the final weight when adults

I never asked my breeder how much she would weigh full grown....My Furbaby "Izzie" is currently at 3 lbs 1 oz and she will be 4 mths old on June 7th.....Personally I don't care how big she gets...although staying small within the 5-7 lb range would be nice,....I just want her to be healthy and happy....She is my baby and I love her no matter what size she is.... :

Mallee is 4 months old. I weighed her yesterday, 2.14 lbs.

[Wylie's Mom]

Marcel is 6 months and 1 pound 14 oz. - so he'll about 2 - 2.5 lbs. as an adult. I'm really hoping for the 2.5 and would be thrilled if some anomaly would allow him to get to 3 pounds!

[erino77]

I just weighed Koda and at 13 weeks he is 3lbs 10oz. His parents were sire 5lbs and Dam 5.5lbs. so i just guess we will see what happens. I am going to track the new pup's weight a bit more when we get her!
