| At four months my boy was 4.8 lbs. Almost five months now and I have to weigh him again. But the bigger the better. I felt bad because the last time I discussed size on YT I got the impression that mine was going to be too big, off the charts . Anyway, I will love him no matter what.

| Isn't that the truth! When they are any distance from you, they look so darn little.

| My Mugzy just got weighed on Monday, and he was 3.4 pounds (12/15/06 birthday). I wouldn't mind if he got bigger, but then again, I wouldn't mind if he stayed the same! He is my baby |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Welcome to YT. You've definitely come to the right place for Yorkie info! My guy is 14 pounds -- twice the size my first Yorkie ever reached. Don't worry about it. I always thought Ozzie was a freak of nature, until I found YT. Not only are there other Yorkies around his size, some are even bigger. And ignore people in public who may ask you stupid questions (Are you SURE he's a Yorkie? is chief among them) or make snide remarks about him being bigger. Just feel lucky to have all the benefits of the breed inside a heartier -- though still small -- body. |

| My Biggie is 5.5 Months and he weighs 6.8 Pounds. According to the breeder, He was supposed to be between 4 and 6 pounds as his Mom is 6 pounds and his Dad is 3 pounds I love him to pieces and don't care how big he is as long as he is healthy. |

| size of Yorkie: DUnks is 13 lbs! When ew got Dunks of Christmas 2006, he weighed I believe 5 pounds and he was 4 months then. The breeder told us that he might be at around 8-10 lbs max. (he's not a mix either, he's a purebred Yorkie, we got his AKC papers) Now, he is 11 months old and when we weighed him at the Vet last week, he weighed in at a whopping 13 pounds!!! This whole time I thought he was 9 pounds coz I weighed him a week before that. BUT, I would not want it any other way though! I love my big yorkie!! He's adorable, very playful and very affectionate. I love how he is bigger than the smaller yorkies coz I can rough play with him and there is more to cuddle!!!

| AMEN TO THAT. It's so irritating when people ask if your dog is really a Yorkie. Coz they would ask, "is your dog a Yorkie?" and then of course you answer is YES then they'll ask "are you sure?" oh people sometimes... LoL

| Summerlin weighs 6 1/2 lbs. The woman she came from said she would be 6 lbs max, but I really wish she would get just a little bigger. I was always so afraid she would get hurt when she was smaller. I have two skin boys who were always supervised with her, but.... Since she has gotten bigger, although she is not as big as some, I am more comfortable with them holding and playing with her.

| Don't quote me on this but....... The tiny yorkies are called tea cup because they are about the size of a tea cup. The bigger yorkies are called teapot because they are bigger than a tea cup. I think it is just a cute play on words......... so to speak. |
