| Tiny but sturdy!! Toto is 3 lbs. but ... sturdy!! I was terrified of her at first [under 1 1/2 lbs.] and almost fainted the first time I bathed her!! Wet that hair and there was hardly anything under there!! We're over that now! We are still extremely careful and probably over-protective but at least not afraid of her! We have finally accepted what our breeder told us .... Yorkies are "Velcro" dogs and we quickly mastered the "walk" called the "Yorkie Shuffle"! We haven't regretted our decision for one second!

| When I bought my Bell I wanted a small one 4-5lbs, but Bell kept growing. Shes now 8.2 lbs(hopefully pregnant) but I wouldn't want her any other way. Shes perfect just the way she is. Maybe next time I'll have a smaller one! |

| buckeye(4yrs) is 4 lbs ... ahia(9 mo.) is about 7 lbs. You made me curious so I weighed my self holding her and subtracted my weight and came up with 7 difference. So I did good with guessing.

| Max is 9 lbs right now. He was 7lbs last January. I have him on puppy food because of the baby. Could that be a weight factor? Gidget is 4 lbs at 4 months. The vet said she is almost done growing according to her growth plates.(x-ray) I figure maybe 6 lbs. |

| Dean is 3.5 at 18 weeks, but vet thinks he might be older. She (vet) said he'll probably be 4-5 lbs. I wanted a small one too, but now Dean's here and I've seen how teeny he is, I'd be plenty okay with him if he gets a tad bigger than that. Rats and bats are fatter than our babies when they're wet! Gidgetsmom - I think feeding puppy food would increase weight in an older dog. Puppy food has like twice the calories and fat (ok -- maybe not twice -- but a lot more) than regular food. I have different foods for mine. I feed one first thing in a.m., take him out while the other is being fed her food (weight management food!) Dean, the Yorkie, has his own cafe in my bathroom right now. He takes care of his business on one side and eats on the other. It is very frustrating having to separate, but it's for the ultimate health of my pups, so I force myself to do it. 'Bout once a week I get real lazy though and just fill a bowl of puppy food and let 'em have turns ...Lol |

| Trevor is about 3 pounds, but he's only 3 months old. He should be 6-7 pounds full grown. That's a great size... just like holding a newborn! Cyndie and Trevor |
