Full Grown Weight?

[cajungal]

Chloe weighs 2.1 pounds at her 8-week checkup. She is a little butterball. Fat little tummy. The vet estimates she will be about 5 pounds full grown. Does that seem right? I heard you have to triple it by 8 weeks to get an estimate. Her mom weighed 3.5 and her dad weighed only 3. So, it looks like she will be bigger than her parents. She was the biggest of the 3 puppies. Chloe was 5 ounces bigger than her sister at her checkup. The male was the runt of the litter. Chloe has a really good appetite, but we are not overfeeding her. She eats Science Diet Puppy bites and she gets 3 small feedings a day. We are going by exactly what the vet says. I love her to pieces no matter what size she gets.

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!

I can't remember how long it took for Cassie's coat to get real long, recall it did take several years for her true coloring to come in and through the years she kept getting to be more of a beautiful silver. Each time I cut her coat it grew so fast. You made a fine choice in getting a yorkie. Your love for little Tiffany will keep on growing, they are so precious, I would think since your baby is five months and weighing what you posted, that she will be maybe around four pounds, if that much. That is just a guess on my part. Our Cassie grew to be 3 and half pounds and maintained her weight, how Blessed we was to have her for almost eleven years.

We picked up our new puppy Lex on Thursday night. I took him to the vet Yesterday and at four months of age he weighs in at 4 lbs. The breeder said he should be about six or seven and the vet agreed with her. Let's see. Even though he weighs that much he seems smaller. I think you enter into a crap shoot because that one big boy fatty recessive gene can pop up...lol.

I guess that no matter what whether they are fat, skinny or whatever we love them anyhow. The vet did say that they tend to stop growing at a year. Normally at six months or so the weight gains slows down and being at around a year you change the food to an adult food they will get less fat so they should maintain their weight at that point.

snickers at 13wks weighed 3lbs.... and 14wks they said 4? so she is somewhere in between i am guessing... originally i was told they double thier 12wk wieght putting her at 6lbs but maybe now its closer to 7 for full grown? i am not really sure when they "stop growing/gaining" so you can gage what they will be

We just received our new baby boy a couple days ago, his name is Fabio. He is 11 weeks old and weights 21 ounces. He should be between 3- 31/2 lbs fully grown. He comes from a pedigree of small yorkies and has numerous champions in his pedigree. I am hoping he will be a good stud. Will just have to wait and see. He comes from the Pastoral line.
Anyone else have Pastoral babies? if so, are you pleased with the line?

Holy Moly you said he is 21 ounces. Can you post a picture of him. He sounds like he is he size of a dust bunny.

Mojo is currently 4.5lbs. (give or take) - His weight seems to be different each time we weigh him. - not by much though. Breeder said he would be 4-5 lbs, so he is right where he should be.

I think at 6 months is when there pretty much set with bone structure.... and the growth for the rest of the year is more or so weight. Like if a person was growing on height and then they stop but they gain weight as they grow..... and at a year... that should be where they are at!

My baby Petey is 7 lbs. My parent's dog Rosie is 8lbs and Rocky is a HUGE 21lbs.. now tell me what happened there? He's NOT fat either he's the smartest dog I've ever seen though. And he gives great yorkie kisses.

On the AKC website, I noticed - it used to say the standard weight is between 4-7 lbs.. but it doesn't say that anymore!! All it says is "up to 7 lbs." I just noticed that recently and I think its very interesting.

Ginger’s at 4.6 lbs and hasn’t grown since October, so I think she’s done. Her Mom was 7lbs and she wasn’t the runt so I thought she’d get bigger. I think she’s perfect.

[envrobear]

Lil Bear varies...she's 7yrs....her winter weight is 6.5 or 7 lbs, summer weight is 5.5 to 6.5 lbs.

Moose is a little over a year and weighs 8.2lbs as of 2 weeks ago. The breeder said maybe she would top off at 10lbs.

Chloe is now 14 weeks old. At her 12-week checkup, she still weighed 2.1 pounds. The exact same weight at her 8-week checkup. So, in a month, she has not gained any weight at all, not even an ounce. Her appetite is great and she always finishes her food. I think it is because she is so active, plus she comes from very tiny parents.

They were going back and forth between pounds an kilograms. was the mom supposed to be in kg? That would make more sense.
