I know i was hoping to get a yorkie that would stay very small... i got very lucky in finding what i wanted ... Beaker is just a 10 days over 3 months now... when he was wieghed exactly at 3 months he was still under two pounds....

Molly was born May 29, so she is 7.5 months. Yesterday the vet weighed her at 7 pounds and said she is perfect, and she is full grown. Any more weight will be fat if we overfeed her. She's being spayed next Thursday, and I do worry about weight gain from that. If she keeps up her current level of activity, she will never gain another ounce!

When I brought Toby home he was 10 weeks and he weighed right at 1lb. Now he is 5 months and weighs 2.5lbs. His mom was 2lbs and his dad was 3lbs. Toby is tiny but very stalky. He bones are quite large for his little body it seems.

Oliver was just under 2 pounds at 12 wks and 2 pounds at 14 weeks...and now at 9 months he is 4 pounds exactly...i have heard to double the weight at 12 weeks to get a "rough" idea at how much your yorkie will weigh. Im not sure if this if often true, but it was for Ollie!

As a breeder I cannot imagine someone breeding a 2lb yorkie. That poor little dog.
As far as weights go, it really depends more on genetics than anything else.
Not that I'm an expert on the subject but you hear of two small dogs having huge offspring.. hence somewhere (possibly grandparents) were huge.

My stud is 5 1/2 lbs but the majority of his offspring are tiny. I know that he has teenies in his background and at the same time have thrown a couple of very large pups that ended up being about 9/10 pounds as adults.
Just my little humble output.
Thanks

my pups name is also Bentley! He is 12 weeks old as of tomorrow and weighs 1.6 pounds which is the same weight he was about a week ago when we were at the vet. Im sure he has gained some weight, my home scale is probably just a bit off. But according to all the yorkie weight gaining charts and rules he will only be 3.5 to 4 lbs, which seems about right i guess. but i also heard they gain a bunch of weight once they are neutered...i hope he doesnt gain to much weight because 4 lbs would be ideal for me...we shall see what happens!!!

Lucy was 1lb 10oz when we got her at 8 weeks. She's 5lbs now, at almost 7 months.

manarsa · 04-20-2010, 07:43 PM

I have a litter of 6 puppies and I can share the weight chart so far. The dame had tiny parents (3 lbs), but she turned out to be 11 lbs. The sire was 3.5 lbs.

Male 1
7 weeks = 2 lbs 9 oz
13 weeks = 3 lbs 13 oz

Male 2
7 weeks = 2 lbs 15 oz
13 weeks = 6 lbs 5 oz

Male 3
7 weeks = 3 lbs 3 oz
13 weeks = 6 lbs 15 oz

Female 1
7 weeks = 2 lbs 7 oz
13 weeks = 4 lbs 12 oz

Female 2
7 weeks = 2 lbs 13 oz
13 weeks = 5 lbs 12 oz

Female 3
7 weeks = 2 lbs 15 oz
13 weeks = 5 lbs 13 oz

I'm interested in the difference between the puppy weight to grown up weight. I know all dogs are different, but I'd like to get an idea from everyone's experiences.

My puppy is 15wks and weighs just over 2.6 lbs. His mom was 3.5lbs and his father was 3lbs, which can sometimes make a difference. He's very petite where bones are concerned and has itty bitty paws (no stereotypical "puppy feet" for that boy).

We've been on the hunt for the perfect Yorkie for (7?) years now. My mom had a Yorkie-poo in her teens that she adopted as an older dog and everyone loved her (Skippy) to death. Ever since, my mom has wanted a similar dog, in relation to size. I think Skippy weighed 3lbs, but maybe 4lbs.

Our first Yorkie was a stereotypical "puppy mill" standard-- soft, easily matted hair, grey/white coloring versus silvery, quite large (20-some lbs). A few years later we got Maddie from a breeder. She's so close to being the perfect girl for showing, it makes me really want to breed her (something like 89 championships in her recent bloodlines). However, she got too big (12lbs), which to an extent was due to overfeeding. I'd guess that the right weight for her would be 7lbs-9lbs. And now she weighs a whopping 18lbs, because *someone* in the house refuses to cut the dogs food intake down and put them on diet food versus Kibbles'n'Bits (OH THE HORROR).

So, a little over a month ago, I bought myself a new puppy. Due largely in part to the fact that my family says they won't let me take Maddie (my Christmas 2000 present) with me when I move out this summer. He's jsut what I wanted.

Thanks!

I work in grams and kgs here in South Africa! we always have to be different! Taylor was 600g or about 21oz at 6 weeks. I don't think it's an exact science and sometimes it works and other times it doesnt! I found this table - see if it helps:

Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Puppy Growth/Weight Chart - watch us grow

Again, I have seen a few charts and SO many are different!

Samuel-Samy · 04-21-2010, 01:59 AM

At 3.5 months Samy was super tiny and small but I do not know how much he weight. At 4 months he was 2.8 pounds... at 5 months he was 3.3 pounds, now at 6 months he is starting with weight at 3.6 but i think he has grown a bit more so he might be around 3.8 pounds now.

Samy is super dooper tiny though and I hope he grows more just for the safety of it

Bronxymarsh · 09-08-2010, 06:03 PM

Bronxie is a year old and she weighs 10 pds. when we got her she only weigh 2.5 pds and at the time she was 15 weeks. Brooklyn weighs 3.5 he is 8 mths now and we got him when he was 12 weeks he only barely weigh 2pds. Our newest addition is a yorkiepoo(Queens) she is 12 weeks tomorrow and she weighs 2pds already. I think it's hard to predict.

I love my fatty Bronxie that is what I call her but it's getting hard to pick her up with one hand now and she loves to be picked up just like a baby.

I wish Brooklyn was bigger though I don't like worrying about him getting hurt all the time. The yorkie growth chart has been pretty accurate with Brooklyn but not with Bronxie.

Kaligirl · 09-08-2010, 06:19 PM

My Kali is 14 wks and probably weighs 2lb 8oz I am thinking her to be around 5 to 6 lbs full grown. But who knows the hole weight thing seems up in the air to me.
