Teacup or not Hello sorry to bother you all, but my breeder i got Tino from said hes a teacup yorkie but from the photos what would you say XX |
He is cute....I do not know about the size.... |
Hi Michelle :) Tino is absolutely adorable!! Breeders that use the term teacup are usually just in it for the money. Any breeder who knows the yorkie standard would not call their yorkies teacups...There is no such thing as a teacup yorkie...AKC only recognizes one type of yorkie and that is a toy yorkie. Yes, some are smaller and some are larger but they are all classified as toy yorkies. I know yorkies who are only 2 lbs adult weight and some that are 25 lbs at adult weight. You can go to www.ytca.org and read what they have to say about teacups. Your Tino is beautiful!! |
How big is he and how old? |
Thank you for you for saying he is cute, i know he is and wouldnt change him for the world, just hope hes going to be a bit small as i have a pace maker and wont be able to pick him up. xxx |
In order to estimate his size at adult, how old is he and how much does he weigh right now? It's hard to tell from just pictures :) Also, did you see his parents? |

Awww...Thanks Anna_Banana :) |
I think if you can tell us how much he weighs now we could help you out. |
Zoey weighed 2 lbs at 8 weeks 2lbs 3 oz at 12 weeks 3lbs at 16 weeks 4lbs at 6 Months She is holding at 4lbs. (Goes up or down 2 oz.) Hope this helps you estimate. |
thank you zoeybear that helps hes 3mths and 3lb |
They say to double the weight at 12 weeks...But again, this is just an estimate, could be smaller, could be bigger. It seems like your baby might level at around 6 lbs?? That's pretty small :) |
Yes, 6 lbs is a very tiny dog. I don't think it would be a problem for you to pick him up, will it? |
okay thank you so much for your help, i havent seen the parents as he was sent out to me from a site i found on the net, anyway i wouldnt change him for a thing. once again thank you for your help xx |
Since there is no such thing as a teacup yorkie, there is no way he can be one. The yorkies standard is for up to 7 pounds. They are in the TOY group. However there are larger ones, they are still toys, just not breed standard. |
He is cute no matter what! Do you mind mentioning the site you got him from? Thanks... |
I found him on a site like loot, i know you shouldnt get them from somewhere like that but i did, i`m have a health problem and wonted to get on near so i or puppy didnt have to travel far. xx |
He is a cutiepie.I have two big boys 13lbs and 18lbs.And to me they are small dogs. Just enjoy him for what he is "Your baby boy" |

Thank you so much i will enjoy being with my baby boy, i`ll keep you all up to date with him all the time x |
Lacy was like 3.2lbs at 12 weeks (3 months) and is now about 7.5lbs (and perfect weight for her frame). |
Boobah was 3 lbs, 4 ounces when I got her. She was 4 months old at the time. She's gained maybe about 1 1/2 pounds so far. Your baby is a doll! Enjoy! |
Yorkie weight This is my first yorkie and she was 2.6 lbs at 3 months old. She is now 6 lbs at 6 months old. She seemed to have gained weight every months about a pound. Since she has turned 6 months she does not seem to be gaining much any more. I figure she will be between 6 - 7 lbs which is still a pretty light dog. That is the weight the breeder told me she would be and so far that seems to be the case. I won't know for sure until she is 12 months. Your puppy is extremely cute. Good luck to you:) |
I don't trust the estimate chart. My pup was about 4 lbs when she was 3 and a half month, now she's 10 month old and at about the same weight, 4 lbs. And according the the chart, she's gonna end up 8 lbs full grown. I say take a good look at the parents if they're on site, and ask about the size of the grandparents, then you have a rough idea how big your baby's gonna be. |
