| how big will dexter get? Hi all! I love my baby! He eats everything in sight...LOL! He seems to be growing so fast. Everyone in my neighborhood has commented on that. I know he's a growing pup, but at his 10 week vist he weighed about 3.1 lbs. And at his 14 week vist, he weighed about 4 lbs. I thought that was a bit drastic. The vet seemed to think it was okay. I just want to know how big you guys think he'll get. My breeder told me his father was about 4lbs, and the mom (whom I met....cutie) was about 7lbs. I don't know if that matters??? Dexter's looks a little stocky. So I think he'll be about 7lbs? Does that seem right? |

| He's probably just not a "small" yorkie. 4-7 lbs. is standard-but some get bigger than that, and some stay smaller. Judging from the size of yorkies on YT, anywhere between 2-12 lbs is really common, and there are many that get larger-more yorkie to love! I have a 6 lb. Emma, and I like that she's a little bigger than her fursister, Milli who is 4 lbs. She's not as fragile, and I don't have to worry about her as much.

| 7-8 lbs. sounds about right. I had to laugh though. Jake was only 1 lb., 10 oz. at 10 weeks lol. He's 4 lbs. 4 oz. full grown.

| You really just never know but if I had to guess I would estimate him to be 7.5-8lbs full grown.
