Matty at 3 weeks.
 

Here's some pics of Matty she turned 3 weeks yesterday. She weighs 1.3# The last pic is of Mr. Big pouncing on her trying to get her to play. She's the only living thing in the house smaller than he is. Sylvia Ok, they are out of order, the second one is of Mr. Big.

Matty is a sweetheart..looking forward to seeing more photo's...are you keeping her?

So Cute
 

Matty is very cute. Just a quick question though is 1.3# a pretty average weight for a 3 week old? I'm getting my puppy the end of July and she's going to be three weeks old on Monday, so I'm really curious about the size thing.

Sylvia - she is a total PORKER ! I looooove baby pictures !

So cute and tiny!!

I think most of my yorkies were 1.3 lbs when they were betwen 7-12 weeks old and they grew up to 4.5-7lbs adults. However, sometimes you can't tell. One of my sister's yorkie was a extremely fat 2.5 lbs at 8 weeks old and she matured to a 4 lbs adult.

Pat, no, she's going to dad's owner. Since brother died and there were only 2 she said that she'd give a free breeding if I chose to give her Matty. She's already chosen a name "Lady Di".

Sunnyd, LOL No, she's not typical at all. I don't think many parents of their sizes (dad 3#, and mom 6.2#) usually see little porkers this size. This is my first Yorkie "litter" but I think she's awfully big for 3 weeks.

Villette, how far from the Missouri border do you live?

HOW PRECIOUS! She must be eating good off of momma! LOVE IT!!! :D

Matty is adorable. Very cute.

Damn, my pups are gonna be monster sized lol.

Precious is 1.5, Yoda is 1.7 and Bandit is 1.8 pounds. They are 22 days old.

Heather: I nearly spit when I read that. LOL You have to remember the parents and grandparents sizes and the greatgrandparents if you can find all that out. Willie, Matty's dad, is 3# but his parents as far as I can find out are around 5#. He was the runt of his litter, I don't remember how many there were, and the owners thot he wasn't going to make it and gave him to his present owner who nursed him to health. This lady raises 2 different types of bull dogs and didn't plan on getting a Yorkie so she didn't do any research or ask enough questions of the parents owners.

I was only a month old Yorkie owner when I bought Lady, I had done some research but not enough. I didn't ask, demand, the answers about Lady's history. I was just too excited. Pirogue was 8 weeks when I got him and I wanted a female that would be in her second heat by the time he was ready. I had been shopping but older females are few and far between so when I found her and she was 4 mos older than he, I grabbed her. I realized much later that the lady didn't answer my questions about Lady's background.

So what I'm saying is I don't think Matty has any choice but to be a bigger Yorkie, how big I don't know. I can assume that Lady's parents are about the same size as she is but they could both be 8#. From the looks of her Matty IS NOT going to be less than 5# and that is conservative.

If you know some of the sizes in your mom and dads background you can make a guess as to how big the babies will be when they are grown. If I were keeping Matty to sell she would be, in my opinion, the perfect size for a family with children. I copied out one of those weight charts and set up a file in Excel so I can keep track of her weight at what week. As of this past Wed. she was off the chart!! LOL It says she'll be over 6#. I do keep in mind that she is carrying a lot, a lot of baby fat and growing fast because she is the only one eating mama's rich milk. I think she might finish at her mom's weight, 6.2 before she got pg.

Now, Mr. Big and Lacijo, are 5th generation smalls. I'm not sure what that means in the weights of grandparents and greatgrandparents, but dad is 2 3/4# and mom is 3#, oh the other mom is 3# too. They are half siblings by their father. Lacijo is 3.3# and 7mo. I don't think she'll make 4#, but who knows? Mr. Big is 4mo and weighs 2.15. If he is going to stablize at his dad's weight it means he won't be getting any bigger just gaining weight. I couldn't get close to his dad, he was in with another female, but he has lots and lots of hair, so he looks bigger than he really is. Mr. Big's mom wasn't much bigger than he was the first time I saw him at 8 weeks and the breeder said he weighed 8oz. If you would like to see what their parents look like go to this site:

Rip is the father of both of them and Raisen is Lacijo's mom, Gracie is Mr. Big's mom. I can't remember what size Autumn's parents were but she weighed 1.7 when I got her at 10weeks, she weighs 5.6 now. Sylvia

Matty is very cute!
