| I like the bigger ones a bit better. With Slade I can hardly give him a hug, w/o feeling like I'm going to break him. With Mom's yorkie/chi mix Schatzie, who is about 10 lbs, I can love and squeeze her w/o feeling like I"m going to crush her by giving her a hug!

| At exactly 4 months Chewy was 4.5 lbs. I doubt your baby will gain almost a pound in 2 weeks and now at almost 2 years old Chewy is 7.5 lbs. You cant always go by GUESStimates...only time will tell. |

| Even if your baby matures to 8 or 9 lbs, that is still a very small dog. Sometimes determining size is not an exact science. We in the "teapot" club are thrilled with our sturdy yorkies. We would be happy to have you and your baby as members!

Samson was about the same and has grown about a pound a month. Now at 6 months he's 7 lbs. The vet guessed he'll end up at about 10 lbs. That's not that big and just more to love.

| well, if you double the weight at 12 weeks, and he's already over that, he should be standard, around 7 lbs. he'll probably slow down a lot now, and if not, there are plenty of us on here that have teapots.. |

| Holly Our Holly was about the same size at 3 months and the breeder said she would double her weight when grown. She now weighs about 13 pounds at 2-1/2 years old. Breeder was a show breeder and the boys in the same litter topped out at about 6 pounds. Everyone we have talked to says the larger yorkies are stronger and more healthy. Couldn't love her more |
