12 week old yorkie's weight Not sure I am in the right place to ask this question, but hopefully I am! Is that normal weight for a 12-week old yorkie to be 2lbs 8 oz? Or is that large? Thanks!!:) |
Yorkies can come in all different sizes. Some may be smaller and others may be larger. The larger yorkies are often time referred to as "teapot". In any case, see below link on yorkie growth chart and you can figure out what his estimated adult weight. All yorkies regardless of size are adorable and too precious! Hope this helps. :) Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Puppy Growth/Weight Chart - watch us grow |
No way, not weird at all! She will remain small, maybe get between 4-5 lbs tops. I don't know if you are worried. They grow for 6-8 months, and them seem to just fill out some more. Cute dog!!;) |
Tucker weighed that at 12 weeks and at almost 5 months old he is 5 pounds already, he came from 4 pound parents... I would say that she is at a normal size right now however only time will tell as to how big she will actually be as an adult. The parents and the puppy charts can give you an "estimate" but I wouldnt count on them, they also say that you can double thier 12 week weight by 2 and that will be how big they will be so as an adult she will be around 5.6 pounds.. but like I said Tucker was that weight and he is already 5 pounds and Im pretty sure he isnt done growing..:)... |
i have a 11 week old male yorkie hes only 1 pound. Is that tiny for him? im scared hes unhealthy. hes very active i just got him two days ago.He looks like a kitten |
The standard for Yorkie is 7lbs and under, but they come in all different sizes and shapes. Jackson was 6lbs at 12 weeks old, hehe. He's now my 15lb boy. :) Oops, just realized this thread is old. |

You may get more responses if you start a new thread. Have you scheduled a vet appointment for him? Normally when one gets a new pup, it is wise to have your vet check him over... check your contract and Health Guarantee for specifics. We also have a Library Section that may help you with many questions you may have about Yorkie health and care. Good Luck and hope to see some pics...:D |
That's a perfect weight. :) The general rule is to double the weight at 12 weeks so that would make the adult weight about five pounds. The Yorkie standard calls for them to be under 7 pounds. |

Fynn weighed 2.7lbs at 12weeks. Now, at 16 weeks, he weighs 4lbs! |
Zach is 5 months old and weighs almost 5 pounds. He was 3 1/2 pounds at 14 weeks. |
I think your little one is at a great weight for 12 weeks. Rocco was about 3.5lbs at 12 weeks, and last month (8 months old) he weighed in at 6.1 lbs. I'm happy he's on the 'bigger' side (if you can call it that :rolleyes:), and would be fine if he went past the standard of 7lbs...more to love. :cheer: |
my baby is 2lbs 11ozs @13weeks.The breeder said she shouldn't go much over 5lbs. |
Elvis is 3 1/2 pounds at 12 1/2 weeks. |
At 11 weeks, Sophie was 1.9 lbs. Now at 7 months, she is 3.7 lbs. She has already been spayed. |
This is kind of strange to me, but Layla's first litter will be seven weeks old on Saturday, and there is a huge difference in their sizes: Pinky: 1lb 13oz Walter: 2lb 2oz Saul: 2lb 6oz Gus: 3lb 3oz I've heard that large pups can be the result of really rich milk from their mother, and I can imagine that her milk was extremely rich. I had her on puppy food throughout most of her pregnancy. After she had them, she drank a ton of whelping pudding (and the goat's milk recipe for puppies that won't nurse) and I was supplementing her with Oral Cal Plus and the pups with Nutri-drops. I started giving her a scrambled egg every morning for three weeks. And even now, when I make the pups food (I just soak the food with hot water and let it sit for ten minutes until mushy, then test the temp before giving it to them) she'll end up eating most of it after they finish picking at it. I hope this means they are super healthy. |
I think your new babies weight sounds really good for age and a lot of them will grow off really fast and then stop, I have a 5lb girl that has had puppies weighing 2.8 at 10 wks but end up at 4.1/2lbs...but most breeders will not be able to tell you the exact weight unless they know their line really well and even then there can be an exception. I have different weights and love everyone of them :) |
Yorkie Size Hey Hey--- well my Yorkie is 12 weeks old and he only weighs 1lbs 9 oz..... I do not think your Yorkie is large. When I purchased my Yorkie I was told mine would not get no bigger than 3 lbs becuase the mom weigh 3lbs and the dad weigh 4lbs..... Quote:

Ruger was about 3 lbs when I got him and he's now 12 lbs. While he's bigger than I thought he would get, his size is perfect -- big enough to hold his own but small enough to be a great lap dog . |
My baby was 2 1/2lbs at 12 weeks. She just turned 1 this week and is now 5 1/2 perfect pounds. |
Hi just want to let you know this is an old thread |
Enjoyed reading this old thread very much! Many puppies in the same weight boat as mine...I wonder what happened to the puppy in the op? Any follow ups for those who posted earlier would be interesting! Pooky weighed 2 lbs 3 oz today at 13 weeks :) His parents are in the 4 pound category, I understand his mother was originally lighter. |
I agree with Roccosmom....I previously had a tiny yorkie that fullgrown weighed a little over 3 lbs. Because of his weight and fragile size, the Vet bills were more than usual. My current yorkie weighs 7 lbs and is healthy as can be. Either way, if my yorkies were purple and weighed 20 lbs, I would love them all the same. |
