♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | They usually stop growing by a year old, they tend to fill out a bit more after that...my boy Orion is now 11.2lbs at 14mths old as per his vet visit today. I'm really hoping he's done now..lol!

| There was another thread here not long ago. Many here stated their yorkies had reached maturity in height and length just as Laddy did by 1 year old, but many do continue to put on weight and fill out.

| My teapot, Charlie, is just over 12lbs. He is very long, and the 'perfect' shape/ weight for his body size. Since he is an energetic fellow, we still do training/ exersize and reward with (healthy) treats every day.

A dog the age of yours is not overweight. She is still developing muscle as well as filling out a little. A normal active dog, especially terriers, don't get overweight very often and certainly not during the first couple of years. I'm not sure if you are concerned about how big she gets or how fat she gets. There is no way to control her size. She is going to grow as large as her genes tell her to. As far as fat goes......if she is fed a proper diet and has the right amount of exercise you will have a happy healthy dog with the correct weight for her frame. | |

| all I know from the lady that we got her from she could get to be 8pd something like that. I don't know if I want her to be 9 or 10 then she would look over weight. she does look around from the back end side. |

| No one can say for sure what a puppy is going to weigh when they are full grown. I think you would be surprised how much a dog can fill out with out being fat. Muscle weighs more then fat so when she builds muscle it might add weight with out making her overweight. You say you do not want her to be 9 or 10 pounds but that might be what she is supposed to be. Would you love her any less for weighing 10 pounds?
