| Sebastian weighs 1lb 12 oz. and he is 11 weeks but he is estimated to be between 3-4 lbs full grown. Your puppy may be in the 6-8 lb range full grown. I am not an expert just my opinion. Some say to double the weight at 12 weeks and that is their estimated weight. |

| Your pup could be 9lbīs or over full grown..or of course he could be smaller The rule of thumb (double weight at 12 weeks,triple weight at 8 weeks) doesnt always work.For some people it has been spot on,but for others it has been more like a rule of "dumb"...lol.Jess was 3 lbīs at 12 weeks,so of course we thought she would get up to about 6lbīs.But here she is at 11 months old,weighing in at almost 9lbs and STILL growing With Lady it was the oposite.She was 8 ounces at 7 weeks,10ounces at 8weeks which meant her weight was estimated to be 2 to 3 lbīs full grown,she is 16 months old now and weighs 2lbīs Through experience all I can say is that you will have to wait and see There are a few factors that can change the weight pattern of your baby..one of them is spaying or neutering because after this they usually put on some extra weight. |

| chelsie........... my toby was 3 lbs at 12 weeks too.... and now he is a nine pounder as well ... i was told he would be 5-6 lbs full grown . . . which is kinda funny because i specifically wanted a LARGE yorkie but the guy still insisted on that weight (yeah...... whatever) i almost DIDNT buy him because i didnt want him that small . . . works just as well for me |
