Puppy. Our two breeders sold our puppies to us as mini Yorkies ... but judging by their weight gain and only at 15 weeks now I reckon they are large Yorkies.

It's probably a good thing that your Yorkies are normal to slightly large--they will have fewer health problems. Yorkies that are bred to be tiny have more health issues, and although people may think they are cute, they don't always live long, full, happy lives.

I don't mean to be killjoy, but the growth chart didn't work for me at all. I'm sure it's accurate for some people...and inaccurate for just as many. It's basically a rough guide. Don't feel like there's something wrong with your pup if he/she doesn't follow the growth chart. I think it really depends on the parents, grandparents, etc. It is fun to look at & try to figure out how big your Yorkie will be at maturity, but I wouldn't put too much weight on it.

They is so much to know ... I was thinking I should have learnt all this before we got the puppies! .... but there is absolutely no way I would have taken it all in, it's easier when we have the puppies to make sure they are happy and well ... all this info seem to sink in very quickly
