I was wondering if anyone answered this question? I can't seem to find the answer and am wondering how big my little Tiffany will be. She is now about 5 months old and weighs 2 lbs 2 oz. She has gained almost a pound in the 2 months I have had her. I also am wondering when Yourkie's hair gets really long., and at what age you can tell what the final coloring will be? I can see a little silver coming in on the top of her head, but for the most part, she still appears tan and black. This is my first time owning a Yorkie and so we are learning so much and loving her every minute!

It's driving me nuts that I can't weigh him on our home scale! The home adult scale we have is crappy anyway - but when I weighed myself and then weighed myself WITH Sully in my arms it said 10lbs heavier?!?!!

This cant' be true. Sully's mom was 7lbs and his dad was 6lbs. Sully gets plenty of exercise and we only feed him his fair share of premium food - no table scraps, etc.

I am convinced he's only like 8lbs but, darnit, we were hoping he'd turn out to be 6.5 like his parents. What happened??

It's a good determining point to look at the parents size, but it's not an exact science. Looking at their lineage gives you a good estimate of the size that line produces. Grandparents, great grandparents, ect... If he's 10lbs there was a bigger yorkie somewhere in his line

Chewy was 10lbs when we got him at roughly 5 months, now at around 8 months he's 15.6 lbs. He's still growing!

Jeanne · 04-14-2005, 05:31 AM

Wow! Chewy is quite a large Yorkie! My little Tiffany weighs 2 lbs 3 oz and she is almost 6 months old now. I have been wondering if she will stay so small or if she will keep growing. She does have a lot of attitude for such a small baby! We LOVE her!

My Sophie is 5 1\2 months old and she weighs a little over 6 lbs. I was told she would weigh between 3 to 5 lbs. She is a little on the chubby side though. We have been very consistent with her feedings and the vet says she is very healthy. I have had people ask me if she is full stock and I'm sure she is. I don't see what the big deal is anyway. Once you get them you love them no matter how big or how little they are.

Chico just hit his 10 week mark and is about 2.3 pounds. His mom is 4 1/2 and dad somewhere in the 3 pounder range. The lady that sold him to me said he would be around there size. I don't know now since reading other weights on pups and what they are estimated to be. Does anyone know if they grow till they are age 1 or sooner?
Still my little boundle of joy though!

Mocha is 16 weeks old and weighed in at 3.8 lbs on Monday at the vet.. The breeder estimated she will be 7 lbs.. I am not sure how to judge how big the puppy will be fully grown.. My grandparents have a yorkie who was the same size as Mocha at that age and now at 1.5 years old she's 11 lbs and they were told she'd be 7.. I hope Mocha stays around 6 or 7 but who knows

angeltoad · 04-17-2005, 04:06 PM

Zoey is 5 ½ months and she was a little under 6lbs. I can't believe how the size and weight of the yorkies on this forum ranges from itty bitty to a larger yorkie... I didn't know a lot about yorkies when I got Zoey in December I just wanted a yorkie because they are hyperallergenic...but I have learned so much, It's hard to believe that just in the few months my Zoey has grown and changed so much... she’s amazing.

My nikko was 2lbs. 4 oz. at 12 weeks. the vet stated he should be 4 1/2 to 5 pounds full grown. He is about 5 1/2 months now and he is 4lbs 6oz, he is changing colors, becoming more steel blue and silvery on his back and nape, and prominent distinction fromm areas that are tan. .the vet says now he should be about 7 lbs. So much for his reliability, I could have made similar predictions and this is my first yorkie. His mother and father are 51/2 and 6 pounds respectively. I know one of his older sisters and she's 5lbs- 2 yrs old, his male sibling from this liter is 2lbs. I think he is still growing and will probably be about 6 1/2 pounds or more. I don't think there is an exact science to weight, it all depends on what you feed them, including treats. Nikko sometimes sneaks food from Qball, which is my Beagle, but he gets plenty of exercise. I must admit, I love him but was hoping he would remain under 5lbs, but I bet my hubby was hoping I remained at 130lbs also. , LOL

Pebbles should wiegh up to 7 pounds full grown!

scrappysmom · 05-01-2005, 09:05 AM

scrappy is 17 months old now and he"s 7 pounds 2 ounces now.

jesscruz · 05-01-2005, 11:56 AM

coco is now 5 months and 4lbs 8oz. his weight gain is starting to slow just as his vet said it would. he told me that at 5-6 months his growth will start to slow down and i won't really notice the little growth he still has remaining. his vet is a really good one he is in carmel, ca. and everything in carmel is high end. so i got really lucky with him! everything he told me would happen has been very accurate. so i beilieve everything he says.

niko · 05-01-2005, 04:34 PM

I was hoping someone who had an older Yorkie with similar weight gain history would graciously give me insight into how their Yorkie progressed with weight. It doesn't matter to me whether or not they are from a hi end neighborhood. Hi caliber people don't have a need to inform you where they come from, their value is automatically noticed in their presentation.
Many people state their Yorkies grow until age 1 and beyond. Some say they stopped at 6 months. I just wanted a friendly indication of growth progress.

azkaty · 05-01-2005, 05:53 PM

Ralphie was 2.5 lbs at 12 weeks. At 18 weeks he is now 2.13 lbs. I bought a nice little food scale that goes to five lbs( from Bed Bath and Beyond), and put a piece of stiff card board on it. The scale adjustes to zero as needed. There are other scales that can take over if I need to get one-- but i believe his full grown weight will be about 5 lbs. He is adding about an ounce a week. He is feeing freely in Wysong Anergen and now Missing Link. Also a little bit of pedigree chicken & rice ground.
