| Hi! Mine seemed to stop getting bigger at 7-8 mos., but now his body is starting to fill out more. My vet said they stop anywhere from 7 mos. to 15 mos. |

| I think it really depends on the individual yorkie. The breeder might have some idea, because they'll know when their parents reached adult size, and thats the best indication.

| Its hard to tell, because none of them are the same, and they get growth spurts randomly. Check out the growth chart sticky. How big is she now? How big were her parents?

| cozy stopped growing with her first heat at 6 months. My golden retriever did not fill out in the chest until 5 years of age. He was a late bloomer and Cozy is an early one I guess. |

| My Ziggy is 9 lbs 4 oz and he is not 5 months old until June 16. His mom and dad are 7 and 8 lbs. Where did this giant come from???? So long as he can still cuddle on my lap I don't care how big he gets. Charlene |
