size The breeder should have been able to give you some idea of the size. 3 pounds at 9 weeks is quite large..triple 8 weeks and double at 12 weeks. It is basic common sense for a breeder who has any experince at all. If your pup is 2 pounds at 8 weeks, you know it will not be 3 pounds full grown...it will no doubt be 6 pounds or so. Nothing is 100%, but I have rarely had a 12 week old go more then double their weight..never had a 2 pounder at 12 wks old turn into a 6 pounder. Had a few stay a touch smaller then the double weight. I used to groom a male who was 4 pounds at 10 weeks when he came to me for as basth... and the breeder told the buyer it was finished growing..of course he grew for many months to come. |
My Oscar is seven months and just over eight pounds. I just love him to death and wouldn't trade him for ten tiny yorkies. :) |
Awwww what cute puppies!!! just more to love lol. :D |
I have a friend who has a yorkie and he's 6mths at 7.5lbs.so no doubt he'll get even bigger.But,he is the most affectionate dog I've seen yet.I have the bother from the same litter and he's only 5lbs.but not as affectionate. |
Your giant yorkies are adoarable!!! They look healthy and happy and that's all that really matters! |
Halle, Emery and Alex are adorable. Very cute. Welcome to YT. I agreed with everyone, more Yorkie to cuddle with. :rolleyes: |
Awww they are so cute. I have a 8 lb yorkie that came from a 5 lb momma and a smaller father. He is my little steroid boy and I love him. Living on a horse farm I am glad he is a decent size cause he can get into a lot of trouble:) at 12 weeks he weighed about 3 lbs. Your boys are adorable and I am sure they are purebred just a bit bigger:) Btw, i love your indoor and am terribly jealous because I dont have one ;) |

Sammi is 18 months old and 13lbs...Vet said she is not overweight, just that she is very long (19inches) and solid :) More to love :) XoXoXoXo Fran and Sammi |
Hi Halle There must be some magical connection between dog lovers and horse lovers, they seem to go together :) :) (or maybe we are just animal lovers in general) I have my yorkie,Chloe,new mommy that she is, a german shepherd pup(5 mos old she is)and a whippet. But I also have 3 quarter horses, my mare is now pregnant with the most spectacular looking Tennessee Walker that you have ever seen!! You can see all my babies in the photo gallery :aimeeyork :aimeeyork :aimeeyork :aimeeyork :aimeeyork :aimeeyork . Keep in touch! :) Lisa |
Its funny sometimes how Yorkies are looked at. The first pup picked here was the one going to be oversized. He is very pretty and sweet but is going to be a big one of maybe 8-9 pounds. His family loves him to pieces. The small ones and large ones are easier to find homes for than what I like, the 5 pound range. LOL |

Diva Pup: I know what you mean, I like that they are bigger for that reason too. They are more hardy! I've accidentally rolled over on Emery in bed (he growls at me and gives me a realllll dirty look) and I panic and I think omg if he was half his size I could of really hurt him. I'm glad you all love my doggies. They went swimming in our pool today because it was 90 degrees today! We bought them these little life perserver vests from Petsmart and they just float around. We put them on a raft and they loved it. Emery acted like a Capton, he sat at the very end of the raft and his hair was blowin in the wind... and Alexx was just kinda confused but he had fun none the less. It was Ali's first time in the pool. He was a good little swimmer though! I'll talk to you later! Thanks again for all the comliments. |
Welcome to Yorkie Talk. You will learn a lot here and mostly it's that we love all dogs no matter what their size!! My Hefner also loves to swim! We call him Cap'n Hef!!! |
My Bentley was 4.9 lbs at 10 weeks. Breeder said he'd probably be around 10 lbs. as an adult. I thought I really wanted a smaller size baby, but he has really fit in with our family (2 boys, 3 & 10). Never a dull moment anyway. Was wondering if there is anybody out there from Arkansas? |
